Holidays to The Middle East

Dubai is the most sought after Middle Eastern destination with its luxury hotels, cutting edge architecture and sun filled skies especially in the winter months. But don’t ignore Oman for its desert safaris; Sadayaat Island in Abu Dhabi has one of the best beaches we have seen in the Middle East, Qatar will soon become one of the must-see destinations and away from the razzmatazz of the above countries, Jordan and ancient sight of Petra shouldn’t be missed.


Explore lost cities, overnight in a Bedouin Tent, drive amongst the dramatic desert scenery and relax in the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea.
