Discover the best of the Middle East with Jacada
Each bespoke luxury trip to the Middle East with Jacada is one of a kind. Our experts have travelled extensively in the region and will design an itinerary just for you, combining the best accommodation and exclusive tours and experiences with expert local guides.
This is an enthralling region which offers spectacular natural scenery, from the stunning fjords of the Musandam Peninsula in Oman to the dramatic Sahara and desert valley of Wadi Rum. Not to mention the fascinating history of paleontological sites such as Wadi El Hitan (Whales Valley) and the magnificence of the meandering, mighty Nile. Few places can rival the Middle East’s multi-layered ancient history. The imposing pyramids of Giza and the ancient necropolis of Saqqara offer a window onto Egypt’s past, while Jordan’s sculpted city Petra is among the world’s most impressive historic sites.
A visit to this part of the world is incomplete without discovering the flavours shaped by the many and varied cultures that have called the region home for centuries. Discover delectable Egyptian street foods with a knowledgeable guide as you explore the Cairo most visitors might overlook, learn to cook authentic Arabic dishes, enjoy coffee and bread at a Bedouin camp, and tuck into sweets in Amman. Or browse a market with a talented chef and them help to prepare a delicious traditional Omani lunch in Nizwa.
For the active traveller, there are plenty of outdoor pursuits including canyoning, Jeep tours, hiking and even opportunities to venture inside pyramids. We’ll help you to choose from a range of Middle Eastern experiences and activities in Egypt, Jordan, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Whatever you want your journey to include, at Jacada we’ll create a tailor-made trip just for you.

When to visit
The Middle East doesn’t have its reputation for being hot and dry for no reason, but if you plan ahead, you can ensure you have the best weather for the kind of trip you’re taking.
Largely considered the best time to visit, the spring months from March to May offer the chance to see the stunning wild flowers bloom in the mountain areas.
June to August is the hottest time of the year, with uncomfortable summer temperatures. Your best destinations are coastal cities where you have more of a chance of a breeze.
The autumn months from September to November are good for spending time exploring Egypt and Jordan, and the winter months from December to February boast fewer crowds as well as pleasantly warm weather.
