Just because the 2022 World Cup is over doesn’t mean Qatar plans to slow down anytime soon. In fact, the country anticipates some exciting new hotels, restaurants and exhibitions, as well as sporting events, in 2023. In February, Qatar ExxonMobil Open, one of two ATP tour events held in the Middle East, takes place. Additionally, Qatar Masters 2023 will take place at Doha Golf Club, followed by the 2023 AFC Asian Cup later in 2023.

This event focuses on greening the desert and helping the environment, with 3 million people expected to attend.
This year, 2023, sees Qatar also become a luxury hotel hot spot for visitors and locals alike.

All archaeology-obsessed eyes turned hopefully toward Egypt earlier this year when the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum outside Cairo finally began welcoming visitors after construction delays, funding roadblocks and political upheaval in the region (among other factors) conspired to keep things delayed for many long years.

May 30, 2025By-the-cabin Yachting Redefines the Cruise Experience
I wish this day could last forever!” my windswept 9-year-old exclaimed, his voice soaring over the Mediterranean. He gripped the helm of a Bali 4.6 sailing catamaran off the coast of Marseille, his sun- bleached hair whipping in the salty breeze. The scent of the sea mingled with the aroma of warm baguettes drifting from the Côte d’Azur shoreline. Our captain, a seasoned sailor, subtly adjusted course, letting my son feel the exhilarating pull of the wind against the sails. As the waves lapped against the hull, I realized this was no ordinary vacation — this was freedom, unfiltered.
