Omar Haddad

Omar Haddad is Always Packed's Middle East and heritage editor. He covers a region where history is not a museum layer but a living one, from Petra's side canyons to the old cities of Morocco and the frankincense coast of Oman. Omar's guides are precise about the things that decide these trips: seasons, permits, site logistics, dress and conduct, and how long wonder actually takes. His conviction is that heritage travel done respectfully is the most rewarding travel there is. This profile is an Always Packed editorial desk, a named collection of editors and researchers publishing under a shared beat and voice.
