I work and travel in the Middle East, Africa and Indian sub-continent, but mostly it's a long flight, hotel, numerous factory vists in the day, do emails / day job in the evening and repeat.
Don't have time to see anything. I guess you could take an extra day's holiday to do some sightseeing, but when you've been away all week, it's not really fair to do that with a young family.
It's definitely not the glamourous lifestyle Biggles suggests!
