Our Travel Experts: Middle East: Turkey, Israel, Egypt & Jordan

Israel, Egypt and Jordan is each special and very much worth visiting. For those with interests in history, these destinations are "not to be missed" and include some of the world's great wonders. Egypt's sights are beyond our imaginations -- both in greatness and preservation. How did they do it? How is it that the Valley of the Kings has lasted all this time and yet the paintings in the tombs look as if they were done yesterday? Israel is magical for everyone. Once visited, we are changed forever... the history, the struggles and the people leave lasting impressions and memories. And what visit to this part of the world could be complete without seeing the famous ancient city of Petra, let alone Jordan's other treasures? If you're game to visit, let me help you plan a memorable journey.

If you are a history fan, enjoy exotic culture and adventure, you should visit the Middle East. With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, I have made arrangements for my clients all throughout this fascinating area in our world.

When you look at a map of the Middle East it stretches as far north as Turkey, west to Egypt, east to Iran, and south to Oman. A journey to Egypt and Jordan creates a great itinerary. Start your trip in Egypt visiting the famous museum in Cairo and its pyramids, then sail down the Nile, followed by a stay in Jordan to see the famous city of Petra. Turkey has many regions to discover. Start with a visit to the beautiful city of Istanbul that sits on the banks of the Bosphorus. Its architecture, art, culture, nightlife, cuisine and more will keep you occupied during your stay. Afterwards venture to Cappadocia, a designated World Heritage Site, where the land has been shaped into bizarre forms. A tour to the countries of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman is fascinating. Learn about the Arab culture and visit its modern cities such as Dubai. I was amazed at the cosmopolitan lifestyle in Dubai with its enchanting souks and all the activities it has to offer from water sports to sand boarding. Another remarkable country is Israel. Visit ancient biblical cities and learn about the culture and history. The Middle East area has so much to offer and it would be my pleasure to arrange your trip around your special interests. I look forward to hearing from you.
