Middle East Tours & Holidays 2022/23

From the ancient sand temples of Petra to the towering pyramids of Giza, the Middle East is a wonder, awe and incredible sights. Visit the Esfahan in Iran for incredible blue mosaic and intricate architecture, Dubai to discover the epitome of luxury with 5-star resorts, underwater resorts and sand dunes for miles. Visit Oman for a night under the desert sky in the Wahiba Sands, follow the iconic Silk Road to Uzbekistan for ceramic workshops in Gijduvan and a silk paper-making workshop in Samarkand and visit Jerusalem to explore Masada and float in the Dead Sea.

The Middle East is one of the most fascinating, diverse and undiscovered destinations in the world. After several years of unstable political environments, the Middle East is finally reclaiming its reputation as one of the finest holiday destinations on Earth.

No matter which country in the Middle East you visit, we advise you to do your research and follow national customs and etiquette and dress accordingly. The majority of the countries are conservative and predominantly Muslim, so avoid any public affection, inappropriate clothes and, if possible, travel as a part of a group – the recommended option for first-timers to the Middle East.
