Middle East Family Holidays - Tailor-Made

The Middle East is the cradle of civilisation and, appropriately enough, Middle East family holidays can cater for families with children from cradle to teens, thanks to warm weather, lovely beaches, unparalleled cultural treats to inspire curious youngsters and activities galore.

Our team of expert regional consultant can help put together tailor-make Middle East family holiday itineraries designed specifically to suit you and your family's needs. Even better, our exclusive additional services - such as fast track security and lounge access at the airport (even if you're flying economy); Sharky & George fun packs full of games and destination-specific quizzes for children, and access to our clued-up local Concierges in situ - are all included as standard.

So where to pick for your Middle East family holidays? That's the difficult bit, because you're genuinely spoilt for choice in the Middle East and North Africa. Depending on their ages and inclinations, we would particularly recommend Oman for its glorious beaches and fabulous activities from dolphin spotting cruises to 4x4 wadi-bashing and camel rides and stargazing in the desert.

Meanwhile Egypt has accessible antiquities to provide that all important educational angle, and Red Sea reefs where youngsters can learn to dive. Using the loosest possible parameters of the Middle East, Morocco is also another favourite for a Middle East family holiday thanks to the sheer exoticism of cities such as Marrakech and Fez where children can practice their haggling skills, and adventures galore on offer such as treks/donkey rides in the Atlas Mountains and kite-surfing (for teens) on the coast.

Jordan is a nailed-on classic Middle East family holiday destination, with Wadi Rum an open-air adventure playground for children, and Petra a latter-day marvel. And just wait until they're floating on the surface of the Dead Sea.

We haven't even mentioned Abu Dhabi and Dubai, but sadly we've run out of sp…
