MENA travelers overwhelmingly prioritize relaxation (), but what distinguishes the region is its strong preference for health and well-being trips, well above the global average.

Meanwhile, cultural travel garners little traction, possibly due to regional familiarity or a younger generation less driven by traditional sightseeing.
