A Middle East tour is steeped in the high cultural heritage of some of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth. A good way for you to navigate the region’s intricate map of modern marvels, archeological wonders and culinary delights is a customized itinerary from Enchanting Travels. Travel with us to the sands and shores of Arabia, and we promise that you won’t be disappointed. Our tailor-made tours will reveal the warm hospitality of local communities, taking you to spectacular natural landscapes where green wadis merge with golden desert dunes.

Live your Arabian Nights dream. Go on adventurous desert drives out of Dubai and mountain drives in the Jebel Akhdar region on your Middle East travels. Enjoy leisurely road trips amid nodding palms, oasis towns and Bedouin villages. Browse through lively local souks stuffed with handicrafts, spices and incense. Breakfast on an Emirati Balaleet in Abu Dhabi and try an Omani camel biryani in Muscat. In short, soak your senses in a kaleidoscope of sights, flavors and fragrances.

No Middle East vacation is complete without visiting Oman. Perhaps the last bastion of ancient Arabia, it enchants you with its sweeping landscapes and a peaceful population. Muscat, the genteel capital city, impresses with its elegant architecture. Jebel Shams, Oman’s highest peak, towers over the Al Hajar Mountains. Visit a traditional dhow building boatyard at Sur and spot green turtles hatch at the beaches of Ras Al Jinz. This unspoiled land abounds in verdant valleys like the Wadi Bani Khaleed, fed by fresh mountain streams. Equally prolific are historic forts and castles in the desert heartland or behind the coastline in Salalah.

The United Arab Emirates is a land of contrasts. It masterfully balances futuristic urban glamor with a slower pace of life beyond city limits. The capital of Abu Dhabi beckons with its opulent palaces, its famous Sheikh Zayed Mosque and world class museums such as the Louvre. In contrast, the UAE’s largest nature reserve of Sir Bani Yas Island offers nature tours. Dubai, meanwhile, towers over an uber modern landscape, specializing in superlatives – from the world’s largest tower, the Burj Khalifa, and the highest atriums to the largest man made island, The Palm. For culture lovers, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Al Ain may be more enchanting with its gardens and forts.
