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.
