Desert safari tours in Egypt, Jordan & Syria

The deserts of Egypt and Jordan are amongst the most spectacular in the world. From vast sand seas to weird moonscapes, from prehistoric rock art to colourful Bedouin campsites, these unique environments make an ideal destination for the more adventurous traveller. Our desert safari tours may also include some cultural and historic sightseeing, but they concentrate on getting out into the desert and experiencing time in these beautiful but barren environments. Most tours include at least one memorable night camping under the stars, combined with more comfortable accommodation elsewhere.
