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 civilizations, 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.

Classic Egypt

Carol · Traveled September 2024

Our 7 full days of Egypt exceeded expecting and put this down to our fantastic guide Ahmed. His knowledge and organization was exceptional. Well versed and comical. Great English. would recomend this trip. Balloon ride over The valley of rhe Kings was awesome but they need to tighten the times standing around waiting to board and disembark, especially if you have a full day ahead of you.

Turkey Highlights

Kathryn · Traveled September 2024

The itinerary provides a great introduction to this amazing country. The tour was well-paced and well-organised. Accommodation is good, and the activities were diverse and interesting. Every day was great but Kapadokya was a highlight! We are deeply appreciative of our tour guide, Mete, whose knowledge of history, culture and places, and sense of fun added value to each experience, and who was personally respectful, generous, and reliable. We thought this trip would be a once-in-a lifetime trip to Türkiye, but we’ll be back!
