The Journal: Middle East Travel News

Every week the Journal brings ten stories from across the region, drawn from the past seven days of Middle East travel news: new hotels and resorts, openings and events, flights, culture and the property markets, each with the places to stay and the guides to read next.

Ten stories every week

Ten stories every week

New stories arrive every Monday, newest first below, and every piece stays on the Journal. Each is written fresh from the week's news and links to the guides on this site, so a story about a new resort leads straight to the best luxury resorts and the country guide, and a story about the property market leads to our Luxury Real Estate guides.

For a slower read, the Journal also carries essays from the road, such as AlUla in winter and a first week in the Gulf. To hear about the best of each season, sign up for the Season Letter.
