MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA
Rwanda
Forget the country’s reputation from the last century. Rwanda is now clean, safe, and high end to the max. Home to mountain gorillas, Rwanda is one of very few countries in the world that allows visitors to be up close with the primates, making this an awesome extension to the safari circuit in East Africa. While it’s a year round destination, we suggest checking them out during the dry season from June to October.
Saudi Arabia
The latest darling of the Middle East luxury travel circuit, AlUla in Saudi Arabia has already welcomed top-notch resorts such as Our Habitas and Banyan Tree, and more are looking to set up camp in the region famous for its UNESCO Heritage Sites. While Riyadh is the hub, look further afield and be the very first group to travel to the Neom on the Red Sea Coast, where pristine diving sites are barely touched by human activity.

This ghost town has been taken back by the desert over the years, providing stunning visuals for photo lovers.
