operator Scott Dunn delves deeper into why desert destinations like Oman and
Jordan will top 2018’s travel lists.
The central location makes it easy for travellers coming from both Asia
and Europe, and with the increasing range of luxury hotels and one-of-a-kind
experiences, countries like Jordan and Oman will be the ones to watch next
year.
OMAN
************************************
DREAMY DUNES AND DESERTS
Luxury tour operator, Scott Dunn, reveals why Jordan and Oman will be
two of 2018’s most talked-about destinations
Hot off the announcement of
their top destinations for 2018, luxury tour operator Scott Dunn delves deeper
into why desert destinations like Jordan and Oman will top travel lists next
year.
Despite escaping the notice of all but the most adventurous of
travellers for years, the centrally located countries offer easy access to
travellers from Asia, and with an increasing range of luxury hotels and unique
experiences, both destinations will be ones to watch next year.
Oman, located on the Arabian Peninsula, offers a truly diverse
experience from its vibrant culture to the rugged mountain ranges, rolling sand
dunes, bustling souks and golden beaches. Scott
Dunn’s Signature Oman itinerary offers a seamless immersion into the
northern part of the country, exploring the main sights with the comfort of a
private driver and guide.
The specially curated 10-day itinerary allows
travellers to experience the highlights of this dynamic country, from visiting
traditional markets in Muscat to remote wadis, the vast dunes of Wahiba Sands,
and timeless forts and local villages in the Jabal Akhdar mountains.
With such
a vast array of experiences in Oman, travel consultants have hand-picked their
selection of the best with this trip, offering the perfect blend of culture,
scenery, adventure and relaxation.
As with all Scott Dunn itineraries, the trip
can be tailored to suit each individual’s interests, with bespoke experiences
added in to make it more (or less) adventurous, more focused on culture or
history, more suited to families or any other preferences.
Oman is perfect for families or couples, with a varied range of
accommodation options and experiences. The lesser known region of Salalah
in the south is home to the Anantara
Al Baleed Resort, which sits on a pristine white coastline, and is suitable
for families of all ages. There’s a fully-equipped kids club offering cooking
classes and club adventures as well as a dedicated teens club offering engaging
activities and guided trips.
Alternatively, for couples, Scott Dunn continues
to develop itineraries that offer authentic experiences, allowing guests the
opportunity to immerse in local culture.
Canvas
Club offers just that, for those looking for a more glamorous camping
experience under the stars, whilst Hud
Hud’s authentic Bedouin style tents offer the opportunity to
experience the peace and tranquility of the desert while getting a sense of
local life in Oman.
Jordan
is as much of an emerging destination for 2018. The small historic country is a
photographers dream, with some of the most incredible ancient ruins such as the
world-famous Nabatean city of Petra and the Roman ruins of Jerash in the north.
The natural landscape is equally impressive with contrasts between the red
desert of Wadi Rum and the blue waters of the Dead Sea – the lowest point on
earth. People are beginning to explore this relatively undiscovered corner of
the world and Scott Dunn’s Ultimate Jordan
itinerary offers the chance to experience the best of what the country has to
offer.
The 13-day trip combines culture, trekking, relaxation, adventure and
delicious food. While visiting Amman to see the spectacular ruins of Jerash,
guests will have the opportunity to taste some of the best falafel in the
country, as well as the famous kunafa, a Jordanian sweet.
Highlights of the
itinerary include a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Wadi Rum desert and
the option to dive in the Red Sea, one of the world’s most renowned diving
destinations with abundant marine life.
For a full immersion into the best of both these countries, guests can
choose to combine a trip to Jordan with Oman,
to experience the diverse wonders of Arabia. Alternatively combine Oman with
the Maldives
or the Seychelles
for the ultimate twin-centre luxury holiday.
