Middle East & Africa

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Africa and the Middle East are about the romance of adventure and countless other impressions, for within their seemingly boundless confines you'll experience pretty much everything.

At first try a gentle landing, whether it be Egypt of the pharoahs and the five-star Nile cruisers; exhilarating, post-apartheid South Africa and its sexy, sophisticated showpiece city of Cape Town; or solidly modern Namibia, where traditional cultures and mod cons make a marvelous mix. In the Middle East, there's nowhere quite as spectacular as Dubai, a pleasure palace in the desert.

Suggested Itineraries: Middle East & Africa

You could visit Africa any time of year, but try to avoid Egypt in April, when the khamsin blows desert sand across the country at up to 150mph (241kmph). The Middle East especiallyDubai and the other emirates is best visited between November and April, when the weather is at its 'coolest' which means it's really hot rather than like the inside of an oven.

Winter in southern Africa takes place during the northern hemisphere summer, and while it can get chilly and wet around Cape Town it remains pleasant and dry in western South Africa, Zambiaand Namibia.
