Activity Level: 2

These are particularly busy tours that feature a lot of moving around, sometimes by train and short journeys on local transport. Walking tours of towns and cities are leisurely but you should be prepared to be on your feet for several hours. Some of our cultural trips that occur at high altitude and/or require greater independence with baggage handling (at hotels, airports, train stations) also fall into this category.

To learn more about the Activity levels, please visit our
tour styles

Tour Style: Cultural

These three- and four-star hotel-based, "soft adventure" trips concentrate on the culture, history, and natural attributes of our destination. Though there are no strenuous activities built into these tours, you need to be prepared for some full days with some early starts, plenty of walking on uneven surfaces through villages, cities and archaeological sites, and not a lot of "down time." Independence, reasonable fitness, and an ability to be steady on one's feet are critical in order for you to get the most out of these programs.

Activity Level: 3

These tours are considerably more strenuous than our Level 1 & 2 "cultural" tours and feature walks/hikes on undulating and uneven pathways for 3-7 hours at a leisurely pace. We don't hike every day, but participants should be fit and active and accustomed to trail walking, possibly in remote locations, and be prepared to engage in a conditioning regimen prior to the trip. Altitude may also be a factor on some tours, though none of our hiking tours currently occur above 3000m/10,000 ft. These are hotel-based tours with no camping, and you are required to only carry what you need for the day.

To learn more about the Activity levels, please visit our
tour styles
page.
Tour Style: Active

This small series of itineraries are more physical than our Cultural Journeys, as all feature hiking/walking excursions that are an integral part of the overall experience. As with our cultural tours, all of these tours feature three- and four-star hotels (no camping), and all hikes are designed such that you need only carry your day pack — your luggage either stays at our hotel base or is transported ahead for us. Our active days are well-spaced with time set aside for either travel or more leisurely cultural activities and sightseeing.

Where to Go
Where To Go on Small Group Middle East Tours
The Middle East has an abundance of treasures in store for travellers. Haggle for exotic spices in the markets of Bahrain, journey by camel through the red-sand deserts of Oman and seek out Petra’s hidden city. You can also explore Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza and hear the Muslim call to prayer beside Jerusalem’s Western Wall.
Bahrain Made up of 33 distinctive islands, Bahrain is an intoxicating blend of old and new. Beyond the soaring skyscrapers, find historic relics, prehistoric burial grounds and shop for bargains in the narrow lanes of Manama Souq. View Tours
Egypt The Great Pyramids are Egypt’s undoubted star attraction. But there’s plenty more to experience, including Nile boat trips, visits to Roman catacombs and desert camel rides in search of remote Christian monasteries. View Tours
Jordan Get ready for an Arabian adventure in Jordan. In this land of archaeological treasures, you can explore the sandstone city of Petra, visit Biblical sites, and share tea with Bedouin tribesmen in otherworldly Wadi Rum. View Tours
Oman Less showy than its oil-rich neighbours, Oman is a jewel of the Middle East. Shop for Frankincense at the market in Salalah, take a cruise aboard a traditional dhow and stargaze on a magical desert camp excursion. View Tours
United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates is perhaps most famous for its ultra-modern cities. But there’s much more to see and do, from the spice souks of Old Dubai to the white sand and date palms of Ajman. View Tours
