Reading the table

  • Where a programme gives no season, ask the team; this applies to some cultural and fishing programmes.
  • Mountain seasons are short at altitude: treks to glaciers and high passes cluster in June to August.
  • Lowland and desert trips suit the cooler months; the camel safari runs from October to March.
