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.

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.
