EGYPT
Watch in wonder as feluccas sail the Nile in a scene barely changed since the times of Cleopatra. In the Valley of the Kings, explore tombs where mighty Pharaohs lay surrounded by golden treasures and the mighty temples of Karnak and Luxor.
GreeceGREECE & THE ISLANDS
Be transported back to the 5C CC, when Athens erected the Parthenon, Delphi was in its heyday and the games at Olympia was the talk of the Mediterranean.
ISRAEL
Welcome to a land rich in Arab culture, natural wonders, colossal structures, stunning panoramas and historic sites so ancient, that the Crusader forts guarding the old trade routes are comparatively recent additions.
JORDAN
The most exciting highlight of any trip to Jordan is undoubtedly the visit to the lost city of Petra, hidden away in encircling mountains south of the Dead Sea. Equally impressive is the massive Crusader Castle at Kerak and the grand ruined Greco-Roman city of Jerash.
TURKEY
Gifted with natural wonders like the eerie moonscape of Goreme, and the white terraces of Pamukkale, but ancient Ephesus stands out as Turkey 's finest gem.
