Middle East group tours for solo travelers
Travel solo as part of a group tour to the Middle East
WHY TRAVEL SOLO TO THE MIDDLE EAST?
Ancient and sacred, enchanting and complex; there’s no greater story than that of the Middle East.
Everywhere you turn in the Middle East, you’ll see traces of empires past: the Rose City of Petra, the pyramids of Giza, the storied valleys of Jordan. The Middle East has plenty to offer for the cultured explorer, and you’ll find cities here that are more than ideal for a short escape.
But there’s enough to intrigue those of you looking for an off-grid adventure, too. We’re talking about a region spanning rippling deserts, rich coastlines, snow-capped mountains and rugged canyons. There’s Wadi Rum desert in Jordan, with its striking red dunes; the turquoise waters of Wadi Shab in Oman; the rocky valleys of Eastern Turkey; the deserts of Egypt, hiding ancient treasures.
Wherever you go, rest assured: the Middle East is a region of unexpected surprises, and one that we think you’ll keep returning to.
