Few regions lend themselves to a multi centre holiday quite like the Middle East, where culture and city sights blend with desert landscapes and stunning coastlines into one seamless trip. Spend a few days exploring the buzz of Dubai or Abu Dhabi, add in the charm of Muscat, or head out to experience the region’s dramatic scenery. The Middle East is also perfectly placed as a stopover on the way to the Indian Ocean, the Far East or even as far as Australia, allowing you to break up your journey with sunshine, sightseeing and luxury. Browse our inspirational itineraries below, or contact us to tailor an itinerary designed just for you.
The Middle East is an exciting region to explore, and while many popular destinations already offer a mix of city and beach, a multi centre holiday allows you to experience so much more. You can combine different cities to create a more varied itinerary, or add in the region’s dramatic landscapes for a completely different perspective. The Middle East also makes the perfect partner to far flung destinations, complementing places such as the idyllic beaches of the Maldives and Seychelles. It is also a great stopover en route to countries such as Australia, giving you the chance to balance city excitement with bucket list adventures in one seamless itinerary.
The Middle East offers a wealth of experiences for every type of traveller. In Abu Dhabi you can visit the spectacular Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, explore cultural hotspots and enjoy fine dining after a day on the beach. Dubai is all about modern marvels, from the towering Burj Khalifa to vast shopping malls and vibrant nightlife. Ras Al Khaimah provides a quieter escape, with desert adventures, zip lines and the rugged Hajar Mountains as a backdrop. The oasis city of Al Ain is rich in history, with UNESCO World Heritage sites and sweeping desert views. In Oman, Muscat combines coastal calm with historic souqs and mosques, while Nizwa offers a glimpse of traditional life. For nature lovers, Jebel Akhdar is ideal for walking trails, terraced farms and mountain villages, giving you a taste of the region’s wilder side.
The Middle East is best visited between October and April, when the weather is warm and sunny but not too hot for sightseeing. Summer months can see very high temperatures, making outdoor exploration less comfortable, though resorts and hotels are well equipped with pools and air conditioning. For a mix of pleasant city touring and beach relaxation, winter and spring are ideal.
Food in the Middle East is full of flavour with lots of spices and fresh ingredients, and you’ll often see stews and grilled meats on the menu. Pita bread and dips such as hummus and baba ghanoush are also popular. While you’ll definitely get a taste of these authentic flavours in souks and local restaurants, hotels tend to offer a mix of traditional Middle Eastern dishes alongside more international options.

He took the time to listen to our ideas and then put together a perfect itinerary that combined all…
Kadie from eshores has become my favourite go to for holidays and trips. Having just returned from a visit to China Hong Kong and Thailand organised by eshore I can say that it was one of the best holidays I had enjoyed for many years
I have dealt with Hannah a couple of times and found her very helpful and knowledgeable, it is really nice to be in contact with someone who one feels is genuinely interested in what you as a customer.
Nick has been extremely patient and helpful, he has now found the right flights and accommodation for us flying from the UK to Cairo, in February.
Laura has been very helpful in assisting us twice and responds quickly to our many queries. Our recent holiday to Lake Garda was a great success and we hope Madeira next year will prove likewise
Excellent service from start to finish. Our hotel package was designed totally to our requirments. Matt was super efficient and was more than happy to go that extra mile to ensure our package was the best..i would definitely recommend eShores and i will be using them again in the future.
Nick was a pleasure to deal with, He was patient and happy to make changes to our trip several times, I'd recommend dealing with him and eshores, Thanks nick
