The Region Rewards A Good Operator
These are destinations where the difference between a great trip and a miserable one is almost entirely the ground operator. We use people we have used before, and we do not put clients with the cheapest bidder.
- Vetted ground operators, not whoever quotes lowest
- Guides who explain rather than shepherd you to shops
- Pacing planned for families, especially in summer heat
- Visa requirements sequenced when combining countries
History is better with someone who can explain it.

Middle East Travel Questions
Can Egypt and Jordan be combined in one trip?
Yes, and it is a common request. Ten days is comfortable for both. We handle the visa sequencing and the internal routing.
Is it suitable for young children?
Yes with the right pacing. Ruins in July with a five-year-old is not travel, it is endurance. We will plan the days realistically.
Do you use guides or leave us to explore?
Both, as you prefer. For Petra and the Egyptian sites we strongly recommend a proper guide, and we book ones we trust.
What about safety?
We book destinations and routes we are comfortable putting clients on, and we will say clearly if we think an itinerary is unwise.
Which Part Of The Region?
