DESTINATIONS FOODIE HOLIDAYS | MIDDLE EAST 3 learn to cook in jerusalem
The Israeli capital is known for its religious landmarks and ancient archaeological sites, but in between all that history and culture, there’s also an exciting food scene worth discovering. That’s why Cox & Kings has chosen the city for its new foodie short break, which starts with a tour of its bustling shuk (market), Mahane Yehuda, led by a local chef. That’s followed by a cooking workshop and a day exploring the city’s foodie highlights, and an excursion into the rural Jerusalem Hills to visit a goat’s cheese farm, winery and brewery. Book it: Cox & Kings’ four-night foodie trip stays at the five-star American Colony Hotel, with flights, private transfers and activities, from £2,495.

dine out in doha
Dubai isn’t the only spot where international hotel brands, world- class chefs and an appetite for quality dining converge to create some truly outstanding eating. If Only’s Arabia product and commercial manager, Susan Greenhorn, recommends The St Regis Doha for its varied dining, with no fewer than 10 restaurants, including big-name brands such as Gordon Ramsay and Hakkasan, plus the option to have the chef prepare a private in-room meal. She says: “The St Regis Doha Grand Brunch would definitely be my top choice for a Friday brunch, with 16 food stations, nine liquid bars and live entertainment. What’s more, if you have a taste for A-list eateries, the hotel also boasts the prestigious Opal by Gordon Ramsay, home to the largest sommelier’s selection in Doha.” Book it: If Only offers four nights’ half-board at The St Regis Doha from £1,019, including private transfers and taxes, flying with Qatar Airways on May 7.
