The German National Tourism Office offers travelers from the Arab Gulf countries an opportunity to enjoy an exceptional winter experience in Germany, which is a distinctive tourist destination that meets the aspirations of everyone, whether lovers of mountains, castles and festive markets.

The destination becomes more attractive in the winter season, where visitors can enjoy beautiful natural scenes decorated with snow, and distinctive winter sports experiences in many parks and recreational destinations.

Commenting on this topic, Yamina Sofo, Director of Sales and Marketing Department of the German National Tourist Office, said: "Winter shows in Germany have always been very popular with our visitors from the Arab Gulf countries, thanks to the cold weather and the amazing snow. The ancient country hosts a wide range of activities that suit all aspirations. From winter sports in the Alps to spa recreation with stunning lakeside views, this is the perfect holiday destination for the festive season.”
