Naghsh-e-Jahan Square by David Lewis Don't let the naysayers diminish your enthusiasm. Experience Persian hospitality for yourself. Persepolis, a short drive from Shiraz, is one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world. Isfahan is a unique city with exquisite mosaic-clad domes, bridges and Persian gardens. Travel in security with our experienced Iranian tour manager. All three tours include, Isfahan (pictured at right), Shiraz -the city of "Roses and Nightingales"; Pasargadae, the capital of Cyrus the Great, ancient Zoroastrian Yazd.

Freedom Tour of Egypt
November 23 - December 3, 2012   
Sphinx and Pyramid How things have changed in just over a year. During the demonstrations in Tahrir Square, we were in contact with our Egyptologist and close friend, Hossam. What excitement and hope he, his teenage son who was also there, and many other Egyptians have for their country. Together we have worked out a very special tour that links you to the changes under way and to the one remaining Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Extend on St. Catherine's Sinai extension.

Classical Jordan

Petra Indiana Jones brought the Nabataean city of Petra to the world's attention. It's now one of the new 7 wonders™ of the world. Explore amazing Jerash, then, like Moses, from above the Jordan River atop Mt. Nebo, gaze at Jerusalem and Jericho. Feel like Lawrence of Arabia as we venture to dine in a Bedouin's tent at Wadi Rum. We end our stay at a Dead Sea resort. Extend with more time at the Dead Sea.
