When you think of the Middle East, many people envision mystical notions of rolling sand dunes, camel trains, political upheaval and unimaginable wealth. Whilst this certainly exists, there is so much more to this fascinating region than what Hollywood or the media shows. Think incredibly warm people who are excited to show you their home country, traditions and customs steeped in thousands of years worth of history, archaeological sites to rival Greece, diverse cuisine, crystal-clear water, bustling gold souks and glamorous cities twinkling from the desert. We’ve spent our lives living and working in this region, and we can’t wait to show you why we love it so much. Welcome to the Middle East.

Change Your Perception
