The Middle East is a gateway to exotic markets, golden deserts, ancient cultures, and an array of world-firsts, but it is also known for its lavish hospitality. A luxury holiday in the Middle East will allow you to make the most of each new experience.

With camel rides along sand dunes, helicopter tours over the sapphire seas, a reputation for fine dining, and some of the world's finest luxury hotels, the Middle East is where adventure meets relaxation. Dubai, the iconic City of Gold, is a great example, boasting the world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, as well as vast designer shopping malls. Add palm-shaped islands like Palm Jumeirah, and landmarks of pure spectacle like the Dubai Fountain, and you'll see why Dubai is a must.

Next up, Abu Dhabi, another innovative and modern city. Discover the fastest roller coasters at Ferrari World and explore Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the country and a beauty wrought in white marble. As the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi also makes room for attractions like the White Fort and Heritage Village in amongst its impressive skyscrapers.

If sun, sea, and sand are what draw you to the Middle East, then visit Zighy Bay in the Sultanate of Oman. Zighy Bay is a true beach paradise, with dramatic mountain ranges on one side and soft white sands and turquoise waters the other. A short drive away, you’ll find Ras al-Khaimah. Here, visit Bedouin camps and discover ancient forts.
