    Madventure: Arabia Overland 2024-25 Starting in Dubai, this overland trip explored Abu Dhabi, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Jordan over a period of a couple of months. It was well organised with an excellent tour leader and great driver. The hotels visited were of a high standard and usually with an excellent breakfast provided. 40% Of the trip was wild camping and the locations chosen were beautiful, some overlooking the sea (including the Dead Sea). Food provided whilst camping was generous and of good nutritional quality. The trip was very varied encompassing space-age cities, deserts and coasts and included visits to numerous historical sites (entry fees not included). Highlights for me were Jeddah Al Balad and AlUla in Saudi Arabia and Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan but there were many other sites of great interest. Saudi Arabia only recently opened up to tourism so whilst the dress code is now more relaxed many of the sites are closed for renovation pending the delivery of the Crown Prince's vision for 2030 and of course the 2034 World Cup. It was frustrating to say the least to drive through mountains to visit a UNESCO site which subsequently proved to be closed despite contrary information online. Overland trips demand a reasonable level of stamina due to early starts and camping but this trip was less strenuous than most due to the high percentage of good hotels. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of leadership, organisation and accommodation. You do need to be prepared to manage without a beer for almost a month as both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are completely dry. Given the trip runs over Christmas and the New Year this may be significant. Overall the trip provides a good immersion into Arabian cultures, value for money and a generally positive experience.

    Hi Marilyn, Thank you so much for your detailed review. Our Arabia tour really is a tale of 2 halves; the super modern versus the ancient is both stark and wonderful. Rosanna and Martin had such a great time with you and your group - they are fabulous... Show more
