Middle East tours typically visit Israel, Jordan or Turkey, in a region often referred to as the Holy Land. Escorted Holy Land tours include the services of an expert guide who knows the area well. Guides will ensure a comfortable, educational and enriching Holy Land travel experience. Holy Land tours also provide the convenience and value of well-chosen hotels and discounted airfares.
Holy Land tours feature a number of historically and spiritually significant destinations. Jerusalem, Nazareth and Bethlehem are prevalent stops in Israel. Jerusalem's Israel Museum and its Shrine of the Book, which holds the Dead Sea Scrolls, are among the highlights. Other lures of Holy Land travel include Nazareth's Church of Annunciation and Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.
Holy Land tours also visit Jordan or Turkey. In Jordan, Holy Land tours might stop in Petra, with its 12th-century crusader fortresses, ancient tombs and Roman amphitheater. Holy Land trips to Jordan may include one of the world's most famous buildings, the Petra Treasury, which is carved into a wall of rock and shines with a red-orange radiance. Middle East travel to Turkey will likely include Istanbul, the present-day name for the ancient city of Constantinople. Turkey, with its complex and turbulent history, will complete any Middle East travel itinerary.

The prices shown are U.S. dollars per person, based on double occupancy, and subject to availability.
Prices quoted for land arrangements are subject to increase without notice. Once we have received your
deposit, land prices are guaranteed. Whenever air-inclusive tour prices are displayed, these prices do
not include government taxes and fees, which are additional. Air prices are subject to increase and are
guaranteed only from the time that full payment is received. Air-inclusive prices include air from a major
U.S. gateway; air from other U.S. airports is available at an additional cost. Sorry, we are unable to
offer air from countries other than the U.S. However, for those international customers who are able to
arrange their own transportation to the tour origination city, we are able to offer the land portion of
the package or tour, at the price quoted.
