Middle East Tours & Trips
Jerusalem hits different when you're walking those ancient streets yourself. Float in the Dead Sea (seriously, you can't sink), explore Petra's rock-cut facades, and cruise down the Nile like people have done for centuries. The Middle East has this way of making history feel real instead of just something from a textbook.

Overall it was a great experience. Minor hiccups like terrible hotel like Seanet and we had a blood sucking tour guide during the cruise on the river nile. All he wanted was to try to rush through the itenaries as quickly as possible and wanted us to do other optional tours so he can make more money. Some of the itenaries were missed because he said they were extras and we needed to pay for them. He even asked at the beginning of the cruise whether we were responsible to pay for the entry fees for the sites we were visiting. Not impressed with him. However, from tel aviv to Jordan to Cairo Egypt the guides were great and professional and courteous. Airport transfers and pick-ups were great. Overall it was a wonderful trip. No regret. Thank you!

PROS: Guides in all three countries were extremely knowledgeable and gave interesting incites to history of sites that were visited. All of ancient sites listed were visited on tour. Enough time was given at each place. Hotels were clean and staff helpful. Included breakfasts were large and plentiful buffets. NEUTRAL: People on tour were from multiple tour companies so that as trip progressed new people joined as others left tour. Only a few people were booked on my particular tour. Tour buses were comfortable and stopped often enough for bathroom breaks. CONS: Because of people being on different tours with different companies very few were staying at the same hotel. This meant that starting at 7 am people were picked up at various hotels around the city. It took from one to three hours to pick up all the people so that if yours was the first hotel pickup...you spent hours as others were picked up. The same applied at the end of the day. Crossing a large city, such as Tel Aviv or Cairo took the same one to three hours of drop off time. This additional time meant less sleep and more frustration for tour members. Because of these long days little time was left at the end of the day for nighttime viewing of the cities or shopping for souvenirs. The only times for shopping were those included in the tours by the tour companies at stores with which they had an affiliation. These were places to purchase herbs and teas; olive wood curios; and oils and perfumes. DO NOT buy from the "Egyptian Perfume Giza". The $100 you spend on a bottle of "perfume" (which has been securely shrink wrapped-supposedly to keep it from leaking in your suitcase on the way home) turns out to be a barely scented oil when opened upon your return home.

Rochelle • traveled in April
Overall, it was an amazing trip for our group of 4 to see all the historical landmarks that we'd only read about in books or seen on TV. Once we arrived at our desintations, the tours were informative and well organized. However, the logistics when transferring across borders into another country to get to our next destination need to be greatly improved. We had problems during both of the border transfers. First, between Israel and Jordan, the Jordanian representative named Ramses was not there to meet us. He finally showed up about 30 minutes late. We prepaid Booking Tours for our Visas, so we would not have to worry about getting them ourselves; however, Ramses did not have any information about us and did not have any information about our Visas. This delayed us even longer, because he had to take time to straighten everything out with his company. When he finally got everything straightened out and we got to the tour bus, some of the other customers on the bus awaiting the tour were yelling at us because we were late and were holding up the tour. I spoke with another tour attendee on the bus and she said that they were told that our group was late, and that's why the tour was delayed. In other words, the company blamed us for being late, when we were actually right on time as scheduled. Someone from the tour company dropped the ball when processing our information for the Visas, which Ramses had to straighten out. That's why we were late. I thought it was very unprofessional for them to blame us for the delay when it was really the company's error. This was very stressful at the border crossing, and also while traveling on the bus with people that held hard feelings towards us for something that was not our fault. During the second border crossing between Israel and Egypt, again there was no representative to meet us in Egypt. We tried to explain to the officials there that we were waiting for our tour representative Stenoude who would have our Visas, but still they tried to get us to pay for the Visas AGAIN. When Stenoude finally showed up about 40 minutes late, he said that he was waiting for us outside and taking care of another tour group. It doesn't make sense that he was waiting outside for us, since we couldn't exit without our Visas! This was another very stressful incident. As I mentioned, once we arrived at our destinations, everything moved a lot more smoothly. Tours in Israel were wonderful. The schedules were very punctual and the tour guides were so kind, patient and knowledgeable. If you are lucky enough to get Aviva, Liat, or MIchael, you will not be disappointed! They were outstanding tour guides! In Egypt, our driver Abbas and our tour guide Nassir were the absolute BEST! The streets of Cairo are pure chaos, but Abbas got us everywhere we needed to go and picked us up right on time everytime! Nassir had so much knowledge to share! He was kind, funny, patient and shares so much information. He took pictures for us and even suggested fun shots! He taylored our schedules to spend time doing the things we wanted to do. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Cairo! For anyone that may be thinking of taking this trip, be aware there may be some issues during the border crossings. It may be a little scary, and people will try to pressure you into giving them money, but be firm and let them know that you are waiting for a tour representative (try to have his name) and that he has your Visa. Once you get to your destinations, you will have an amazing time.

Best tour companies for Middle East tours
Looking at customer feedback, CTO Tours stands out for their guides across Israel, Jordan and Egypt - people consistently mention how knowledgeable these guides are about local history, culture and also hidden spots. The downside? You might face some waiting around between domestic flights. On The Go Tours really nails their Egypt program, and their guide Momo gets special mentions for making the experience both informative and personal. Just pack a portable Wi-Fi device and bring extra water bottles since these are common pain points. Booking-tours.com organizes solid Holy Land trips overall but service can be hit or miss. Some travelers loved their experience while others dealt with delayed airport pickups and hotels that didn't quite meet expectations. Click Tours seems to struggle with consistency, especially with their hotel selections. Their choice of the Seanet Hotel in Tel Aviv comes up repeatedly in negative feedback from travelers who felt the accommodations weren't up to standard and the overall organization needed work. For exploring these regions, CTO Tours and On The Go Tours appear to be your most reliable options, with consistently good feedback about their guides, itineraries and also general organization. Just be prepared for some transit delays and bring backup power banks for your devices.

Spring delivers ideal conditions for our most popular Middle Eastern routes. The Turkey-Greece-Egypt journey spans 14 days, timing perfectly with Istanbul's tulip displays as you explore the Hagia Sophia and take a Bosphorus cruise. Cappadocia really comes alive in spring - our travelers tell us how the wildflowers pop up between the distinctive rock formations. Another guest favorite runs 12 days through Israel, Jordan and Egypt; the spring weather works perfectly for that early morning Masada climb and wandering through Petra's narrow canyons. The Nile cruise portion gets consistently good feedback for its well-planned schedule visiting Luxor, Edfu and also Aswan, with just enough time to properly explore each location.

- Summer 2026
Summer tours through the Middle East blend cultural highlights with smart scheduling to handle the warmer temperatures. Our multi-country journeys across Israel, Jordan and Egypt give travelers early access to major sites, letting you explore places like Masada and Petra before the day heats up. The 10-14 day trips are carefully planned - you'll discover Jerusalem's historic quarters during cool morning hours and then float in the Dead Sea when temperatures rise. Nile cruises become an excellent summer choice, as you watch daily life along the banks from air-conditioned comfort. Our guides adapt the daily schedule thoughtfully, timing Wadi Rum desert excursions perfectly and arranging visits to climate-controlled spaces like the Egyptian Museum during afternoon peaks. Many travelers tell us they love how the tours mix cultural elements with cooling experiences, from gathering for traditional Bedouin meals under desert stars to accessing ancient temples privately, before the crowds arrive and heat builds.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
These multi-country Middle Eastern tours spanning 12-14 days have become especially popular in autumn, when mild temperatures create perfect conditions for exploring Israel, Jordan and Egypt together. Our travelers tell us the timing works beautifully - you'll start with Jerusalem's ancient quarters in crisp morning light before heading to float in the Dead Sea when conditions are just right. The autumn schedule proves particularly good for Petra visits, as the seasonal light plays through the narrow Siq canyon, casting fascinating shadows across the Treasury's ancient façade. Most itineraries feature a Nile cruise section visiting Luxor, Edfu and also Aswan, with the moderate weather making those long temple walks much more comfortable. What makes these autumn departures stand out is their smart pacing - you get proper time in each destination while temperatures stay ideal for desert activities like Wadi Rum explorations, market walks and guided tours through historic districts.

What do you get to experience in those amazing desert landscapes beyond the big Middle East cities?
The desert adventures in Wadi Rum Jordan are honestly incredible you've got these amazing 4x4 jeep tours that take you through dramatic rock formations and ancient riverbeds just like Joe from California experienced on his 12-day Israel Jordan and Egypt tour. You can hop on camels trek through the landscape do some guided hiking and the best part is staying overnight in traditional Bedouin camps under this incredible starlit sky. If you're heading to Egypt definitely consider taking a felucca sail down the Nile it's such a peaceful way to see local villages and islands getting a real glimpse of rural life like Maria did during her budget tour through Jordan and Egypt.
Which Middle East countries feel safest for Western visitors?
You'll find Jordan the UAE and Oman are really welcoming to Western travelers with stable politics and great tourism setup. Leigh from Australia who did a 19-day Middle Eastern journey mentioned feeling completely safe the whole time and that's pretty much what we hear from most visitors.
Where can you find that perfect mix of ancient history and modern culture?
Dubai's amazing for this you've got the super modern Burj Khalifa right next to these traditional souks and cultural neighborhoods. Egypt gives you those mind-blowing Pyramids of Giza plus the buzz of Cairo life and those peaceful Nile cruises. Istanbul's really special too sitting between Europe and Asia with the historic Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace plus this really vibrant modern art scene and incredible food culture.
