Luxury Vacations in the Middle East & North Africa

From the vast, silent deserts of Oman, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to Morocco with its bustling souks, starkly beautiful mountains and intricately tiled mosques, this region stretching from the windswept Western Mediterranean to the balmy waters of the Arabian Sea exudes mystery and romance.

Explore Egypt, fabled land of the pharaohs, and learn about their legacy in the country’s world-class museums. At Petra in Jordan, discover timeless monuments carved from rose-pink sandstone. Throughout the region, explore date-palm oases used by nomadic wanderers for centuries, visit opulent Moorish palaces and savor exotic tagines and other dishes infused with spices traded between continents. Marvel at the urban buzz and dazzling modernity of Dubai and other countries of the United Arab Emirates, where soaring skyscrapers reflect the ambition of this can-do nation with its super-luxurious hotels and culture of excellent service. Wherever you are in this deeply spiritual part of the world, the haunting Muslim call to prayer will bring a sense of peace and wellbeing. At the other extreme, get your adrenaline kicks with a range of outdoor adventures, from jeep safaris, mountain biking and zip lining over the desert to diving or snorkeling on pristine coral reefs teeming with marine life.
