Travel is a deep-rooted tradition in Arab societies. For thousands of years wayfarers have ventured from the Middle East across the world to seek their fortunes, for the sake of knowledge and for the sheer pleasure of seeing the world. At the same time the MENA region has been a magnet for travelers who have come in search of the region’s mysteries, antiquities, spiritual and material wealth, and, more recently, its burgeoning tourism, leisure and luxury offerings. Over the last five years the Middle East and North Africa experienced an unprecedented travel and tourism boom.
Stunning seaside resort destinations have spread along the region’s virgin coastal areas. Iconic hotels, unique entertainment features and spectacular shopping complexes have attracted tourists from around the world. Regional international sports and cultural events have become additional attractions and business and trade events that draw delegates from every market in the world are held on a daily basis. Even with the global economic downturn the Middle East and North Africa has built the tourism infrastructure to remain a destination of choice for world travelers. To serve this rich diversity of offerings for both in-bound and out-bound travelers, we have built a unique Travel, Leisure and Luxury Practice Group led by seasoned professionals with experience in aviation, hotel management, hospitality, event organization and luxury retail inside and outside the MENA region. We can provide solutions for all your needs throughout the MENA region.
