The Seasonal Calendar
What travels well, and when.
A short guide. Our travel directors will, of course, compose around the season that suits you best.
October – December
The peak of the year. The souks of Oman, the deserts of Jordan, the temples of Egypt — at their quietest, and at their most generous.
January – March
The Atlas under snow. The Red Sea in calm. A gentler pace, and the world's most beautiful winter light.
April – May
Wadi Rum in bloom. The Hajar in colour. The Kingdom's grand opening season.
June – September
The summer of the great indoors. The high-altitude retreats of Lebanon, the Atlas, the Asir, and the Gulf's air-conditioned discretion.
