Welcome to the December Edition of MEA Explorer! The final month of the year arrives with cool breezes, festive lights, and a sense of adventure that sweeps across the Middle East and Africa. December invites travellers to slow down, celebrate, and explore destinations that shine brighter during this magical season.
Start your travels in Dubai, where the city transforms into a winter wonderland of global events, brilliant New Year’s celebrations, and luxury escapes filled with entertainment and style. Journey to Ras Al Khaimah, where calm beaches, thrilling mountain adventures, and peaceful natural views create the perfect balance of relaxation and excitement.
In Al Ain, the pleasant winter weather enhances the city’s oasis charm—offering serene landscapes, family attractions, and rich cultural sites that feel especially captivating this time of year. Across the region, Oman welcomes visitors with its dramatic coastlines, rugged peaks, and warm Arabian hospitality, making it an idyllic destination for a refreshing end-of-year retreat.
Continue the festive trail in Saudi Arabia, where ancient heritage and modern energy meet. Whether you’re exploring Riyadh’s lively cityscape or discovering AlUla’s extraordinary natural and historical wonders, December offers unforgettable experiences. In Egypt, cooler days bring new life to both its ancient monuments and Red Sea shores, perfect for cultural journeys and seaside celebrations.
Travel north to Lebanon, where winter charm, mountain scenery, vibrant neighbourhoods, and incredible cuisine create an atmosphere that’s both lively and comforting. And in Bahrain, the island’s beautiful waterfronts, cultural districts, and laid-back luxury offer a warm and welcoming seasonal escape.
