Magic Travels was founded nearly 40 years ago in Syria by Ms. Nadwa Issa, who was inspired by her passion to showcase the beauty of her homeland to travelers. Over the decades, the company has evolved, understanding the needs and desires of modern explorers.

This evolution led to the creation of Magic Camps, a collection of luxury tented retreats in the Arabian deserts of Oman, Jordan, and the UAE. The concept of unique, nature-immersed accommodation was first experienced by Sam Jabri in the tented camps of Kenya. Inspired by this, he brought the idea to the Libyan Sahara in 2004, aiming to offer travelers an extraordinary experience amidst stunning landscapes.

Building on the success of Magic Camps, we are excited to introduce the Magic Dahabiya. This new venture brings the same charm and commitment to excellence that defines our brand, offering a luxurious and intimate cruise experience. The Magic Dahabiya continues our tradition of creating unforgettable journeys. As part of the prestigious Magic Collection, this new offering ensures that your adventure is both unique and memorable.

Join us aboard the Magic Dahabiya for an enchanting cruise that promises a truly magical experience, and witness how the success of the Magic Collection continues to elevate Magic Travels across various destinations.
