Lloyd H Pretty says:
An awesome holiday with excellent people seeing amazing sights and experiencing different cultures.

Introduction: A fascinating journey that starts in Cairo - Africa's largest city, and finishes in Istanbul, a cultural melting pot of different people, cuisines and architectural styles. This memorable tour takes you from Egypt through Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey. The pace of life and variety of culture experienced on this tour is mesmerising and most visitors don’t want to leave. Highlights include marveling at the never-ending splendour of the giant ancient Egyptian monuments, standing in awe at the entrance to Petra, bargaining in the fabled souks of Aleppo, and exploring the cave villages of Cappadocia and Roman Ephesus. Travel by truck, mini bus, traditional felucca and ferry. Try mint tea, Turkish kebabs, baklava, spicy mezes and a multitude of other Middle Eastern delights as you soak up the atmosphere and wonderful hospitality of this region.
