Culture Holidays in the Middle East

Cultural tours in the Middle East

From the ancient rock art of the Sahara and the pyramids and temples of Egypt to the classical remains of Jordan, our culture holidays in the Middle East are brimming with history. Soak in the landscapes of the Nile Valley while floating on a felucca, enjoy some of the world’s most spectacular desert scenery in the Wadi Rum or get lost in the region’s atmospheric souks or walled towns.

There is so much to explore on cultural holidays in the Middle East, you’ll be spoilt for choice. A Nile cruise is an unforgettable way of immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of Egypt. As the longest river in the world, the Nile has been the lifeline of countless civilisations throughout history. Cruising along its tranquil waters, you’ll witness the timeless beauty of ancient temples, such as Luxor and Karnak, that tell stories of pharaohs and the gods they worshipped. The lush landscapes on the banks of the river offer glimpses into the everyday life of local communities, where traditions have been preserved for centuries.

Jordan’s city of Petra is another popular destination for Middle East culture holidays as it stands as an awe-inspiring testament to human ingenuity and architectural brilliance. Carved into the rose-red cliffs by the Nabataeans more than two thousand years ago, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true marvel. As you enter through the narrow and winding Siq, the Treasury, with its intricate façade, comes into view. Exploring the ancient rock-cut tombs, temples and amphitheatres in this vast archaeological complex is like travelling back in time.

The excursions were fun. I enjoyed all the people in our group. Food was good and plentiful. The family that runs the hotel did not seem very friendly. The sister in-law of one of the brothers was very annoying, when she speaks she screams. The family always ate next us in the dining room, she was horrible, our guide even asked her to pipe down. The staff was fantastic. Nice grounds but barely a 3 star.

Our tour guide. Artur, was wonderful! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Albania. He was always checking on us to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made the tour truly special.

Our driver. Diu, was equally excellent: professional, polite, and very attentive throughout the trip. He drove safely, took great photos for us. His knowledge of the roads and local area was impressive.

The Mercedes-Benz van was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. I highly recommend this company and sincerely thank both the tour guide and driver for making my experience so enjoyable and memorable! 😊🙏🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
