Luxury Holidays to the Middle East
Luxury holidays in the Middle East are typified by gorgeous weather and elegant accommodation. For the past couple of decades, this beautiful region has built itself into one of world travel's most popular tourist destinations, and Kenwood Travel has been there every step of the way. The Kenwood Travel Arabia team are dedicated Middle East experts, and will work to find you a holiday that is hand-crafted to suit your budget and taste, creating the perfect Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Oman holiday. You'll also discover great getaways to Doha and 'Beyond Dubai' too.
Luxury Holidays to Dubai
The UAE reveals a wide variety of scenery in a small area; in a single day, visitors can experience everything from rugged mountains and wistful sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green oases. In striking contrast, the futuristic city of Dubai – the UAE’s most famous emirate – stands as a luxury HQ from which to explore this enchanting nature, while also discovering the superb dining, shopping, culture and theme parks of the city itself. At Kenwood Travel, our expert Arabia team can help you plan a trip hand-crafted to your style, while always attaining the highest standards of luxury. After all, that's what visitors to Dubai expect, and our direct-contract hotels such as Atlantis, The Palm and Jumeirah Zabeel Saray exemplify and exceed Dubai's reputation for high-end accommodation and hospitality.
Luxury Holidays to Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi has always been a special place. However, until recently the emirate remained an undiscovered jewel on the international travel map. Today, more and more overseas visitors are discovering this unique and captivating destination. A luxury Abu Dhabi holiday offers all the attractions of a top-class international resort with a taste of something extra. It combines year-round sunshine and superb facilities for leisure and recreation with the spice and mystique of an Arabian adventure, bursting with ancient heritage and high-octane pursuits such as Ferrari World.
Beyond Dubai
Dubai’s A-list appeal shines even brighter thanks to a supporting cast of equally entertaining destinations. Beyond Dubai there are some fantastic beach resorts, such as Fujairah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah, where unspoilt coastlines offer a taste of authentic Arabia. Short transfer times make each of these destinations a convenient option for a brilliant Middle East holiday alternative, and they’re all served by Dubai International Airport too. Airport transfer times are as follows: Fujairah – 90 mins; Ras Al Khaimah – 50 mins; Ajman – 40 mins.
Luxury Holidays to Oman
Muscat, the capital city of Oman, sparkles with golden minarets and lies in the midst of a maze of pleated mountains reaching down to the Arabian Sea. Described as ‘Arabia's Jewel’, this city is a blend of the old and the new. Discover Oman’ coastline and culture with Kenwood Travel and indulge in one of the best Middle East holidays on offer.
