Overview
The Middle East is a geopolitical region and, not surprisingly, one where there are many views on which countries it encompasses. For an adventurer’s purposes, think Arabia, Asia Minor and the Levant, and all the historic, mythical and magnificent stories that these place names evoke. Our Middle East tours take you on a natural rather than political journey, where you can, for example, walk in Israel’s Judaean Mountains, hike through Cyprus’ Troodos range or trek up to the top of Turkey’s Mount Ararat. Step back in time and follow in the footsteps of ancient communities, stay with local people and hear their stories, and explore the exquisite natural and cultural heritage treats that this region offers.
