The Middle East and Africa stand as a region where heritage and aspiration beautifully converge, creating a landscape shaped by deep traditions, contemporary vision, and a distinctive spirit of hospitality. It is with great pride that we present the inaugural edition of the MEA Lookbook, a curated celebration of the destinations and hotel partners that define our region’s character. This year, we spotlight two Destinations in Focus — Dubai and Saudi Arabia — each representing remarkable growth, innovation, and global appeal. Every property featured in these pages reflects the diversity, craftsmanship, and warmth that make MEA truly unforgettable. And for those inspired to explore even farther, we introduce a special “Beyond MEA” section, showcasing exceptional escapes in Greece, Mexico, and Montenegro, where discovery continues beyond our horizons. We hope you enjoy this collection and find inspiration for your next memorable journey.
