Middle East Tours & Holidays

The Middle East is living, breathing proof of an old maxim: you don’t know, until you go. 

Forget the headlines and the hyperbole; this is the cradle of civilisations, an ancient land emerging as a modern power, with the money, culture and panache to back it up. Ride camels with Bedouin tribespeople across the dunes of the Sahara, haggle for gold in the souqs of downtown Amman, marvel at the Blue Mosque on a Turkey trip, cruise the Nile beneath the white sail of a felucca or float forever in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Wherever you go, three things will follow: the faint scent of cloves and camel, the echoing call to prayer and the smiles of people that call this place home.

Taste of Istanbul

Marlene · Traveled March 2024
Our Taste of Istanbul Tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide Unsol was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and made our time in Istanbul very special. We had two days in Istanbul after finishing another Intrepid tour in Spain, Portugal and Morocco before joining this Istanbul toùr. We then stayed on for two days after the tour and Unsol made some excellent suggestions for additional activities, which we really enjoyed. This tour also gave us an opportunity to have a break before our long trip home to Australia. Highly recommended.

Jordan Discovery

Anmol · Traveled March 2024
Everything in the trip was amazing (e.g. itinerary, our guide Mutaz). Jordan is a beautiful country and I wish more people would be able to explore it. I felt extremely safe during the whole trip, it’s disappointing that they are not seeing the usual number of tourists that they would expect at this time. I hope that this improves. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone, there’s something for everyone (desert, beach, mountains, history, etc.).
