Whales in Baja California and monarch butterflies in Valle de Bravo

Oman is a destination of contrasts. From the dunes that reach the beach to the fjords that rival Norway.
We have prepared three different routes so you can choose how to uncover the “Secret of Arabia”. Would you prefer an immersive cultural journey, an expedition into uninhabited deserts or an active kayaking trip through Oman’s fjords?
The Algerian Desert is not a logical environment for what we think of as a Christmas holiday; there is no urban life, no street lights and no Three Kings parades. The traveler looking for desert at Christmas is because seeks a change of scene.
Ever since the 1980s, when we spent our first New Year in the Algerian Sahara, we have sought to share this experience with you.
Sultanate of Oman, recently opened to visitors, surprises with its contrasts. Dunes and mountains give way to quiet beaches, rivers and lush oases.
