Building the Region’s Leading Platform
To build the region’s most trusted platform for exploring, traveling, and investing integrating the best available experiences and opportunities through smart technology. From discovery to real-world experiences, we connect people to the GCC with confidence, excitement, and lasting value.
Real Experiences, Real Moments
Every experience begins on the platform but it comes alive on the ground. From desert camps to evening gatherings, travelers book through VisitGCC and create moments that are shared, remembered, and felt long after the journey ends.
Whether you’re planning months in advance or deciding at the last minute, we bring everything together from fixed departure packages and attractions to free events, paid experiences, and what’s happening across the GCC. One place that covers the entire journey, start to finish.
“It felt less like a tour and more like a shared moment. Sitting together in the dunes, enjoying the evening and learning about the desert made it a perfect break from work.”
— Daniel | Evening Desert Safari in Abu Dhabi
Built by People Who Know the Region
VisitGCC was founded by college mates Hashim K and Em Shiyas, whose professional journeys have been rooted in the Gulf region for over 15 years. Having lived, worked, and built businesses across the GCC, they understand the region’s rhythm, opportunities, and untapped potential beyond the surface of tourism.
As the platform evolved, Shinoob Thoppil joined the team, bringing insightful perspective and hands-on contribution to the platform’s development and execution.
Together, the team combines regional experience, operational knowledge, and a shared commitment to building a product that truly serves the GCC. VisitGCC is shaped by a clear vision to help people experience the Gulf not just as a destination to visit, but as the best region to live in, invest in, and explore with confidence.
“ We believe our ecosystem begins with your eyes or your fingertips. That first glance or touch sets the tone for everything that follows. We build for people who love to grow and explore, paying close attention to every detail from the very first interaction.
Every product we offer is created with care, respect, and intention even when there is nothing to sell. For us, satisfaction isn’t a metric; it’s a responsibility. If our platform leaves you inspired, confident, and fulfilled, then we’ve done our job.”
-Em Shiyas
