Festivals
So much in Asia depends on the calendar. In February in Beijing, more than 20 million people all set off fireworks to celebrate Chinese New Year. In Nagaland in India, tribes from all over the region meet to compete, dance, and celebrate. In Thailand, spectators look on as celebrants perform bizarre rituals at the Nine Emperor Gods Festival.

Souk Okaz Festival
June
Souk Okaz was one of three major open-air fairs that served as commercial, social and cultural hubs in the pre-Islamic era. The Souk Okaz Festival of today is a modern rendition that takes place in Taif during summer. It combines various arts, literature, and serves as an occasion to honor writers and intellectuals from inside and outside Saudi Arabia. The Crown Prince Camel Festival, one of the world’s largest and most important camel races, is a highlight of the festival.

What Others Say
Here is a small selection of the kind words our clients have said about us recently.
A Couple from Los Angeles, CA
It was a whirlwind vacation that will stay etched in our memories for a very long time.
Friends from Washington DC and New York
The guides they selected were very good and, in three cases (Seoul, Hoi An/Hue, and Angkor Wat) simply outstanding.
