New Trips in North Africa & Middle East

Highlights of Israel (DOHI)

A spiritual home to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, Israel occupies a unique place in Middle Eastern history. With sacred sites central to all three of humanity’s major religions—you could spend a lifetime in Israel and never experience all of its wonders. This trip delivers you to the country’s top natural, historical and cultural treasures in style. From the historic seaport of Jaffa to the glittering desert jewel that is Jerusalem, you’ll always begin and end your day in the comfort of a well-appointed hotel. Hey, “adventure” doesn’t always have to mean “roughing it,” right?

Arabian Adventure (DOAA)

Geographically, Dubai and Oman are neighbours, but in terms of character, they couldn’t be further apart. The former, an oil-rich emirate, is known for its glitzy style and over-the-top architecture, while the latter, a paradisaical sultanate, ranks as one of the region’s most relaxed places. What they have in common, though, is centuries of tradition and ample room for adventure: Ancient spice-trading ports, secluded wadis, busy souks and, homestays and camping amid pristine desert sands that stretch to the horizon and beyond. It’s all here, just waiting.

Egypt Family Adventure (DPFA)

Explore the Great Pyramids, sail the Nile on a traditional felucca and enjoy the sites of Luxor from a horse-drawn carriage. This adventure includes nights spent in comfortable hotels and an evening on a sleeper train, allowing you to cover the highlights at a leisurely pace and leaving plenty of time for fun in the hotel pool or splashing in the waters of the Red Sea. Finish back in Cairo, where you'll experience the riches of the Egyptian Museum before searching for elusive treasures of your own in exotic bazaars. Just take care that brass lamp doesn't contain a genie.

Wonders of Jordan (DWWJD)

Never heard of Wadi Rum or the lost city of Petra? You’re missing out. These natural and architectural treasures, tucked away in southern Jordan, are but a few of the memorable experiences you’ll be telling your friends about long after you’ve come home. Aided by an expert local guide, this trip takes you from the incredible Romanesque city of Jerash and a dip in the Dead Sea to the hidden rock city of Petra and the magnificent rock formations of Wadi Rum, the “Valley of the Moon.” This trip in three words? Timeless, transcendent, tremendous.

The Egyptian Journey (DPJE)

Be inspired by the Pharaoh’s temples and then build your own sandcastle monuments on the beaches of the Red Sea. This is an unforgettable journey through Egypt's extensive history with some fun in the sun as well. Begin with the pyramids and shop in buzzing bazaars. Sail down the Nile in the comfort of a cruise boat, explore the Valley of the Kings by donkey, hike Mt Sinai and cool off in the Red Sea. Our CEOs are passionate about revealing the archeological and historical secrets of Egypt's ancient sites.

Archeological Wonders of Egypt & Jordan (DPAWD)

It took archaeologist Howard Carter eight years of sweat and frustration to find the tomb of Tutankhamun. We doubt you’ll have nearly as much trouble. On this unforgettable voyage through the archaeological and natural marvels of the Ancient World, you’ll visit Egyptian temples and pyramids, walk the valleys of Petra, explore the magnificent Wadi Rum via 4x4 while travelling and sleeping in pure comfort. You don’t have to be of royal descent to appreciate the Valley of the Kings, but after 16 days with us, you’ll feel like one.

A Taste of Arabia (TDODON)

To some, Dubai is a gaudy desert boomtown with a thing for outlandish architecture. And Oman? Where's Oman? Savvy visitors know there’s more to these unique places than skyscrapers and sand. Our brief journey to this part of the world brings you deep into a side of these countries rarely explored by visitors. Here, you’ll discover traditional markets unlike anything in the big city, dine and sleep under the stars with Bedouins and explore the laid back port paradise of Muscat. With an appetizer this good, you’ll want the full course, too.

Climb Mt Toubkal (DCCT)

Jebel Toubkal, Morocco’s 4,167m-tall peak, has captivated mountaineers for centuries. Our ascent up the rocky giant of North Africa—the tallest in the region—is no picnic, but is accessible to anyone in good shape and hungry for a thrilling high-altitude adventure. Traditional Berber communities line the route on this trip, and you’ll have plenty of time to learn their customs through village visits and overnight camping with hearty home-cooked meals. The views on the way up are spectacular, but nothing compares to what you’ll see (and feel) at the top.

Israel Explorer (DOIE)

Perched at the crossroads of Middle Eastern history for centuries and spiritual home to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, Israel remains a must-visit destination for anyone eager to understand this dynamic, always-changing region. Explore the historic towns of Bethlehem and Nazareth, tune into the rhythm of daily life in the Golan Heights, visit Bedouin communities in the Negiv desert and experience a soul-stirring visit to a refugee camp. Thousands of incredible moments—one comprehensive trip.
