The Silent North
Seven days along a coastline that has never been asked to be beautiful.
- Maldives, Republic of Maldives — Water so still it forgets it is water.
- Kyoto, Japan — A thousand years of restraint, in wood and paper.
- Santorini, Greece — The whole island leans toward one sunset.
- Iceland, Republic of Iceland — Nights that perform without an audience.
- Marrakech, Morocco — Earth the colour of late afternoon.
- Serengeti, Tanzania — Distance measured in weather, not kilometres.
- Rome, Italy — Every street is a correction to the last empire.
- Banff, Canada — Glacial silt turns the lakes impossible.
The world is waiting.
Every route on this map is one we book, from one desk in Abu Dhabi — tickets, visas, cars, cover and the charter, arranged by the same people from origin to arrival.
Maldives
Twenty years. One standard.
NBB Travels is owned and managed by Mr. Fawaz Ahmed Al Shaikh, who has spent more than two decades inside the Abu Dhabi travel industry — long enough to know which airline desk to call, which embassy officer actually answers, and which resort is worth the price.
We can take the most intricate travel plans and turn them into the most pleasant journey. That is not a slogan — it is the whole service. You describe where you want to be. We handle every remaining detail between here and there.

Stories.
Six journeys we have built, walked and corrected over the years. Each one is a starting point — every detail is yours to move.
The Golden Desert
From the noise of the medina to a silence so complete it has texture.
Beyond the Horizon
Six days in which the only decision is which direction to swim.
The Old World
Rome before it wakes, Florence after the coaches leave, and a stretch of Tuscan road with nothing on it.
Where the Wild Begins
Ten days following the herds rather than a schedule.
Blossom & Silence
Nine days timed to a forecast nobody can guarantee.
Or begin with
a blank page.
Where shall we
take you?
Airline Tickets
Two decades of airline relationships mean fares, routings and changes a booking engine will not show you — economy through to first, across the world's major carriers.
Private Jets
A full range of air charter services affording unparalleled luxury and uncompromising service for VIP and corporate clients, with superb in-flight facilities and stress-free travel.
Visit Visas
Long-standing working relationships with embassies and government entities in Abu Dhabi. Documentation checked, submitted and tracked — so an application is not what delays a departure.
Hotel Reservations
From city business hotels to private villas and island resorts — booked with the upgrades, amenities and late checkouts that come from being a known agency rather than an anonymous booking.
Holiday Packages
A wide range of holiday packages with single or multiple destinations to suit every taste and budget, locally and internationally — a family holiday, a city break, a business trip, or an extension to a journey already underway.
Car Hire
There is no better way to explore your destination than driving it at your own convenience. A wide selection of quality vehicles for leisure or business — economy and compact models through to convertibles, SUVs and minivans.
Int'l Driving Licenses
International driving permits arranged in Abu Dhabi, so a rental desk in another country is a formality rather than a problem.
Travel Insurance
Whether travelling on business or for leisure, the last thing you want is expense from the unforeseen. Affordable, convenient cover for health expenses, lost baggage and more — so you feel protected at all times.
Sightseeing Tours
Half-day, full-day and multi-day touring with licensed local guides, private vehicles and entry arranged in advance — the version of a city its residents would show you.
Sea Cruises
Cabins and suites across the major lines and small-ship operators, with pre- and post-cruise stays, transfers and shore arrangements booked as a single itinerary.
Euro Rail
Passes, point-to-point tickets, sleeper cabins and seat reservations across the European network — issued before you travel, with the connections actually checked.
Medical Packages
Packages at spa resorts, spa hotels and rejuvenation centres in destinations such as the Czech Republic, India, Thailand and Germany — anti-ageing and anti-stress programmes, detoxification and slimming, and dedicated packages for diabetics.
We had a visa refused four days before the wedding. Fawaz had it resolved in one. That is the whole reason we still book through NBB.
Notes from the road.
A Week Above the Clouds
Nine days in the Himalaya with a guide who has walked the same ridge for thirty years, and what he notices that we do not.
The Art of Slow Travel
Against the itinerary. Why the best days of a journey are usually the ones nobody planned.
Inside the World's Most Remote Escapes
Lodges reachable only by boat, seaplane or a long, deliberate drive — and why the journey is doing half the work.
