Travel is evolving. Travelers seek more than just a getaway—they want deep connections, curated luxury, and unique experiences. Here’s how to explore this year’s top regional trends:

✨ Detour Destinations
Dubai, Muscat, and Amman remain favorites, but more travelers are venturing off the beaten path. The UAE’s Al Wathba Fossil Dunes showcase nature’s artistry, Oman’s Al Hajar Mountains offer luxury lodges and hiking trails, and Jordan’s Wadi Rum delivers epic stargazing and remote desert camps.

🛍️ Goods Getaways
Dubai’s Al Seef and Souk Madinat blend heritage with modern charm, Oman’s Nizwa Souk is a hub for silver jewelry and frankincense, and Amman’s Souk Jara highlights Bedouin crafts.

🌿 JOMO Travel
Slow, mindful escapes are on the rise. The UAE’s Liwa Desert offers remote luxury, Oman’s Alila Jabal Akhdar provides a serene mountain retreat, and Jordan’s Feynan Ecolodge delivers a solar-powered, candlelit experience.

🎬 Set-Jetting
Wadi Rum’s dramatic scenery has starred in Dune, The Martian, and Star Wars. Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah attracts reality TV productions, while Muscat’s grand hotels offer cinematic luxury.

🍽️ Hotel Dining Renaissance
Dining is now part of the stay. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab offers 11 restaurants with global flavors and waterfront views. Atlantis The Palm’s Ossiano serves seafood in an underwater setting, while Nobu Dubai blends Japanese-Peruvian cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere. These are just a few of the hotels that recognize dining as an essential part of the modern traveler’s experience

At Desert Adventures, we understand this shift and continue to lead in offering curated experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Our bespoke journeys are designed to allow travelers to truly engage with the Great Arabia. Whether it’s an exclusive desert adventure, a luxurious retreat, or an immersive cultural tour, we craft each experience with a focus on authenticity, personalization, and the kind of meaningful connections that resonate long after the trip ends.

Jordan’s Desert Castles stand as magnificent symbols of early Islamic art and architecture.

These incredible sites, featuring fine mosaics, frescoes, and intricate stone carvings, tell the stories of life in the 8th century. Inspired by Persian and Graeco-Roman traditions, these castles were more than just majestic structures—they were once bustling caravan stations, agricultural hubs, and resorts for rulers, all serving as important links between distant empires and local Bedouin communities.

Some of the most notable castles all within reach of Amman for a day or two of exploration:

🏰 Al-Mshatta Palace (Winter Palace): Built by the Umayyads in 744 AD, this impressive structure features a 144-meter-long wall with 25 circular towers, showcasing the grandeur of the Umayyad caliphs.

🏰 Qasr Al-Hallabat & Qasr Hammam al-Sar’h: From Roman fortresses to Umayyad bathhouses, these sites offer a unique blend of cultural and architectural heritage.

🏰 Qasr al-Harrana: A square fortress that tells the story of the Umayyad reign, located along the ancient trade routes, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.

🏰 Qasr Burqu’: A Roman-built castle that harnessed steam irrigation channels to supply fresh water, waiting for you to explore its hidden history.

🏰 Quseir Amra: A UNESCO World Heritage site with preserved frescoes and carvings, believed to have been a hunting lodge for the Umayyad caliph Yazid bin Abd al-Malik.
