A story built around the destination

For more than seven decades, Dakkak has developed its expertise in travel to the Middle East. Born in Jordan in 1955, the group has gradually expanded in the region with a strategic presence in Amman, Dubai and Riyadh.

This local footprint today constitutes one of Dakkak DMC’s main strengths: offering tourism professionals a representative who truly understands the destinations, their specificities, their suppliers and their operational realities.

“Our goal is not merely to sell a destination, but to create an experience that truly matches the traveler’s profile and the expectations of the tour operator,” explain the Dakkak team.

This philosophy relies on close relationships with professional partners and on a willingness to build programs tailored to each market, each client and each budget.


Six destinations, one regional expertise

Dakkak currently supports its partners across six major destinations in the Middle East:

United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Egypt.

This coverage notably allows tour operators to build combined itineraries and offer richer trips by weaving together several cultures, landscapes and experiences within a single program.

In Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, Dakkak offers programs ranging from the destination’s must-sees to more intimate experiences: discovering old Dubai, heritage, gastronomy, the desert, private experiences, Abu Dhabi, luxury offerings, stopovers or MICE programs.

In Jordan, the group’s historical expertise enables circuits around Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Aqaba and the country’s various cultural and historical sites.

Saudi Arabia also represents a key development axis, with experiences around Riyadh, AlUla, Jeddah and the Kingdom’s heritage.

Oman and Qatar complete this regional offering with programs blending culture, nature, adventure, relaxation and discovery.

Finally, Egypt strengthens this presence with offerings that notably cover Cairo, the pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor, Aswan, Nile cruises, private dahabiyas and tailor-made programs.


A tailored approach for tour operators

Dakkak DMC works with different market segments: FIT, groups, series, leisure, luxury and MICE.

The approach rests on creating customized programs, based on the budget, traveler profile and the partner’s commercial positioning.

Hotels, transportation, guides, excursions, restaurants, private experiences, cultural visits, desert activities or events: the Dakkak teams coordinate the various elements of the journey to offer a coherent and well-managed service.

The group also places emphasis on operational support. From the initial request to the traveler’s return, local teams remain involved in the handling of files and delivery of services.

This attention to detail is particularly important for European markets, where travelers increasingly seek authentic, personalized experiences that differ from standardized circuits.


Introducing another Middle East

Beyond the major must-sees, Dakkak also aims to highlight another way of traveling in the region.

In Dubai, this can mean discovering Emirati heritage and traditions before moving into the city’s modern neighborhoods; in Jordan, meeting locals and immersing in Bedouin culture. In Saudi Arabia, discovering heritage sites and new experiences in AlUla. In Egypt, sailing aboard a private dahabiyya rather than a classic cruise.

This pursuit of differentiating experiences forms a key pillar of Dakkak’s strategy.


A commitment to strengthening partnerships in France

After strengthening its presence with tourism professionals, Dakkak now aims to continue developing its relationships with French tour operators and travel agencies.

The group plans to focus more on FIT programs, groups, premium journeys, combined circuits, stopovers and MICE.

The objective is to build lasting collaborations with French professionals by offering them both local expertise, flexibility, responsiveness and personalized support.

“We want to be more than just a provider of land services. Our ambition is to become a true partner of tour operators, capable of understanding their markets, their clients and their constraints so that we can build competitive and differentiating products together,” notes Dakkak.



UAE and Egypt: Two Exceptional Destinations with DAKKAK UAE’s Local Expertise


The United Arab Emirates: A Destination That Continues to Reinvent Itself

For several years, the United Arab Emirates have been among the most sought-after destinations for international travelers. Their success rests on a unique combination: ultra-high-level infrastructure, safety, quality of service, a sunny climate for much of the year, and a wealth of experiences on offer.

Far more than a shopping or seaside destination, the UAE now invites visitors to discover a preserved cultural heritage, spectacular desert landscapes, cosmopolitan cuisine and a multitude of activities suited to couples, families, groups and business travelers.

Each emirate has its own identity and enables a different kind of stay.


Dubai, the City of Experiences

A city of records and innovation, Dubai impresses with its futuristic architecture and vibrancy. Dominated by the silhouette of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, it attracts luxury enthusiasts as well as curious travelers eager to explore a destination that is continually evolving.

 
Beyond its famous shopping malls and prestigious hotels, Dubai also reveals a more authentic side. The historic Al Fahidi district, the Dubai Creek crossing aboard traditional abras, and the gold and spice souks bear witness to the emirate’s history before its dramatic ascent.

 
The experiences are plentiful: desert safari, dinner under the stars, a dhow cruise in the marina, a helicopter over Palm Jumeirah, a visit to the Museum of the Future, or a relaxing day on the Gulf beaches. Dubai proves itself as a destination capable of satisfying every desire.


Abu Dhabi: Elegance Between Tradition and Modernity

As the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi offers a calmer atmosphere where the art of living, culture and architecture harmoniously converge.

 
The majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque ranks among the finest monuments in the Arab world and is a must-see stop. Art lovers will also appreciate the Louvre Abu Dhabi, while the Qasr Al Watan presidential palace unveils the country’s history and traditions.

 
Families will find delight on Yas Island, with its international theme parks, while nature lovers can set off to explore the mangroves, pristine beaches, or the vast desert dunes.

 
Abu Dhabi beautifully embodies the balance between cultural heritage and contemporary development.


Beyond Dubai and Abu Dhabi: Emirates Still Lesser Known

The United Arab Emirates are far from limited to their two flagship cities. Ras Al Khaimah lures adventure enthusiasts with its mountains, hiking trails and the world’s longest zip line. Fujairah, bordered by the Indian Ocean, is renowned for its underwater life, beaches and wilder landscapes.

 
Sharjah, recognized as the cultural capital of the Emirates, offers immersion in history, museums and Arab traditions, while Ajman and Umm Al Quwain charm travelers seeking tranquility.

 
This diversity makes it possible to craft varied itineraries, tailored to all types of travelers.


Egypt: A Timeless Destination

Just a few hours by air from the Emirates, Egypt perfectly complements a trip to the Middle East.

 
For millennia, it has captivated the world with its exceptional heritage. The Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum are among the must-see sites for history enthusiasts.

 
Cairo also entices with its energy, historic districts, traditional markets and a booming culinary scene.

But Egypt is not limited to its capital.

 
A Nile cruise: an essential experience

 
Navigating between Luxor and Aswan remains one of the most beautiful ways to discover Egypt.

 
Along the Nile, travelers explore the temples of Karnak, Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae, guided by specialists who bring to life more than five thousand years of history.

 
Cruises combine comfort, cultural discovery and peaceful landscapes, offering an experience particularly appreciated by European travelers.

 
The Red Sea: relaxation and nature

 
To extend their stay, many travelers choose the Red Sea resort towns.

 
Hurghada, Marsa Alam and El Quseir offer an ideal setting for relaxation, water sports and scuba diving. The coral reefs are among the world’s finest and attract both beginners and experienced divers.

 
This blend of cultural heritage and seaside stays is one of the destination’s major strengths.
