Seattle, WA - July 21, 2009 - For the 7th year in a row, Caravan-Serai Tours owner Rita Zawaideh has been named the Top Travel Specialist by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine for the countries of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Tunisia. 

 

In an annual survey of travel specialists, the magazine lists Top Travel Specialists developed after exhaustive interviews, reference checking, and recommendations from other industry insiders. Caravan-Serai Tours and owner Rita Zawaideh have been recognized for excellence and the depth and recent firsthand knowledge of the Middle East and North Africa, but particularly for the countries of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Tunisia.

 
Also part of the equation is Rita's strong relationship with local contacts, the high level of client commitment, a willingness to work with a range of budgets, and discriminating taste. This year's listing and more details on how the list was prepared can be found in the August edition of the Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, which hits newsstands and stores today. Caravan-Serai provides expert travel services and tour organization to the Middle East and North Africa. The company caters to small and medium sized groups as well as independent travelers. All inclusive, tailor-made tours blend an educational and cultural experience with fun and adventure. Travel is the only way to bring people together and build bridges of understanding. This fall Caravan-Serai has a group tour to Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. Tunisia tours depart weekly, and we are also escorting a group tour of Tunisia this fall.
