Where we work

The places we know well.

We stay close to a small set of countries — close enough to know the right house, the right driver, and the right table on a Tuesday.

When to go

Every month has its right destination

A practical timing guide — calibrated for travellers from the Gulf and the Levant.

Spring Mar · Apr · May

Mediterranean blooms, Asia at its best

Warm and dry with clear skies. The best photography light of the year before crowds arrive.

  • Japan Cherry blossom in Kyoto and Nara — plan 12 months ahead
  • Greece Islands open early, sea warms, prices still low
  • Jordan Wadi Rum nights under perfectly clear skies
  • Provence First markets, vineyards, wildflowers in bloom

↓ Avoid in spring: Iceland (cold, changeable), Patagonia (season ends Feb)

Summer Jun · Jul · Aug

North Europe and high altitude

Eid and school holidays. Avoid the Mediterranean coast in July — head north or high instead.

  • Alps Hiking and mountain air — none of the beach crowd
  • Scandinavia Long days, wild coast, extraordinary light
  • Georgia Tbilisi and the Caucasus at peak green
  • British Isles Best weather window, gardens, Highlands walks

↓ Avoid in summer: Amalfi and Greece in July (peak crowds, 40°C heat)

Autumn Sep · Oct · Nov

The best travel window of the year

Consistently the finest season. Crowds thin, light turns golden, and the best tables open up again.

  • Amalfi September — sea still warm, summer crowd gone
  • Morocco October to November — Fez, Atlas, desert circuit
  • Oman October start of the cool season
  • Tuscany Harvest, truffles, vineyard stays in golden light

↓ Avoid in autumn: Southeast Asia (monsoon through October in parts)

Winter Dec · Jan · Feb

Arabia, Indian Ocean, southern hemisphere

Arabian Peninsula at its absolute best. Long days, cool evenings, no humidity. Patagonia and Cape Town at summer peak.

  • AlUla December to March — winter stars and sandstone
  • Patagonia November to February — glaciers, trekking, light
  • Maldives Calm seas, best visibility for diving
  • Cape Town Southern summer — wine country, whale coast

↓ Avoid in winter: European coast (cold, most restaurants closed)
