Asked on September 29th, 2024are there any more available single rooms on this trip?
Explore!Operator•Written September 2024Yes there is one single room available ready to book on this departure. If this goes then we can save a space on a twin share basis and request a single room allocation, however there is one single room left to book if it is needed?

Asked on June 18th, 2024will i be the oldest person? i am in good health but am not an athlete. will we see sand dunes? how many people on the trip?
- Explore!Operator•Written June 2024
For the moment we have 8 people booked on 13 Nov departure and the age is: 46, 2 people in their 50's, 4 people in their 60's and 73. So you won't be the oldest. We will definitely visit deserts.

Traveler•Written June 2024I would like to book a single room. I'm travelling in an Aussie passport. Is there any way to go to the Yemeni island if doctors or is that just too dangerous?
- Explore!Operator•Written June 2024
You may be able to travel to Yemeni Island however this is not somewhere we offer tours so this is something you will need to look into yourself.

Asked on December 21st, 2022Do you have a tour that visits Mecca and Medina?
- E
Elizabeth
Traveler•Written December 2022please remember we would like to see Mecca and Medina, and anything else. It does not have to be this tour if the 2 cities are not included.
- Explore!Operator•Written December 2022
In this tour we visit Medina but not Mecca. Mecca is accessible for Muslim tourists only. The February departure of Explore the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia tour is 7th February and I am afraid it is a planned group trip and we can not make the tour shorter.
