Holiday Inn In The Middle East And Africa

From the heart of the Emirate government at Riyadh, to the centre of Ancient Egypt at Cairo, we at Holiday Inn are a favourite choice for both business and recreational visitors. Quite often, we cover both areas – after all, where superior to hold Holiday Inn meetings on factors affecting Dead Sea tourism, than at a top Dead Sea leisure resort like Sweimeh?

Sweimeh is one of several Holiday Inn hotels catering for both business and recreational guests.  It is particularly well suited for hospitality events, and can help hold festivity dinners, beach-side team-training activities and more. Just 40 minutes from Queen Alia Airport, Sweimeh is also within simple reach of Amman, the capital city of Jordan and is another venue where we hold Holiday Inn meetings for clients.

A leading centre of politics, culture and commerce, Amman is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities on the globe. Since the ending of the Iraq war, it has found new prosperity, with numerous new businesses springing up. All of Jordan’s Iraq-bound business traffic goes via Amman in some way, so it’s hardly surprising that spacious conference suites are needed. Our Holiday Inn meetings are held conveniently close to the airfield and business centres, and the main hall can accommodate up to 1000 delegates in comfort.

Our facilities in the Middle East are strongly geared up for conferences – but then with cities like Riyadh, Kuwait and Dubai on our books, we have to be. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital, is also its largest city and a bustling, prosperous centre of finance and commerce. Saudi Arabia favours private enterprise highly, and numerous new conglomerates and private companies have their home here.

The facilities we wage for Holiday Inn meetings have to be flexible to reflect the diversity of trade. Riyadh is the financial centre of the Middle East, housing the headquarters of the National Bank. A centre of political power, it is home to numerous commercial enterprises. Among these are agricultural, educational, financial and cultural firms – all needing meeting areas. Not surprisingly, we at Holiday Inns have a strong foothold here, with no fewer than three hotels hosting meetings for business, recreational and charity purposes.

When people think of the United Arab Emirates, they think of rich oil reserves, and the sparkling magnificence of Dubai. Today, it has expanded to become one of the world’s leading financial hubs as well. Dubai delegates place a high degree of excellence upon everything – not least their conference facilities. At Holiday Inn, our meetings staff wage them with an exemplary service and the very latest business equipment, as they do in all our hotels.

Africa is an upcoming continent, businesswise. We host Holiday Inn meetings in several major African cities, among them Cairo, Johannesburg, Accra and Nairobi.

Located in a favourite suburb near Kenya’s bio-sciences centre, our Nairobi hotel is equally well suited for academics, tourists and delegates from the city’s thriving business centres. Meanwhile, our Johannesburg Holiday Inn meetings take place in the heart of Gauteng, the wealthiest domain in South Africa and a Mecca for corporate, finance and retail companies. Close to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and Deutsche Bank, we at Holiday Inn accommodate bookings of each kind.

Your Safe Visit To The Wilds Of Africa

If you have the financial resources to do it, you must go on an African expedition at least once in your lifetime. The word expedition comes from the Swahili language. It means journey, and journey you will. Return to the continent of your human ancestry and see its magnificent wildlife. You can anticipate to notice elephants, lions, tigers, and hippos in their native habitat. A expedition does not even compare to a visit to the zoo. Seeing these animals as they exist in the wild is an unbeatable experience. You will discover Africa and experience a holiday that you will never forget.

You have several choices when you go on a safari. You can take a travel expedition or on a hosted expedition in a game preserve. A game preserve expedition provides you with guides, transportation, and typically food and tents for camping out. You might be in the wild for several days, and most of your basic needs will be taken care of. Experienced guides will take you directly to the wildlife, making sure that you get to see plenty of animals. You can also select to travel alone in your own vehicle, but do so at your own peril. The animals are far from domesticated and you can get into trouble without a native guide, especially when you are trying to get close enough to take pictures. You do not want to be on the wrong end of a stampeding rhino. Invest in a long lens camera before your trip, so you do not have to get too close to nature to take great shots. Your pic album from your holiday will be unforgettable.

A expedition company is invested in making your trip innocuous as well as exciting. On an extended safari, guests will typically stay in either a lodge or a tent village equipped with most of the comforts of home. A chef is provided for meals, as well as guides for endorsement from predatory animals who might be interested in the lights of your camp. Anticipate to be regaled with Africa folklore by your guides. You can sit around the campfire and exchange stories at night, and then go to bed under mosquito nets while listening to the hum of insects and the calls of wild animals. If you are uncomfortable sleeping in the open or you are not prepared to give up running water and air-conditioning, then sign up for a expedition where you will be housed in a lodge and take shorter day excursions. You will not be healthy to venture as far as if you were camping, but you will not have to exchange the comforts of home.

When you go on expedition in Africa, make sure to pack well. In addition to a great camera, you should invest in a pair of binoculars. You might decide to adopt a new hobby while on the continent – bird-watching. There are so many species to notice in their native habitat. It would be a shame to be restricted by regular vision. After you have your camera and your binoculars, you can begin thinking about clothing. Light, loose clothes are essential for your travels. A hat with a wide rim will protect you from the sun. Polarized sunglasses will protect your eyes without compromising your view. Finally, discover and revel in your African safari.
