Our Oasis Caravan trips take you from Amman to Muscat with various stops in between. Discover why you should choose the Arabian Peninsula as your next travel destination...
1 - The People
The warm-hearted welcome you'll receive from the locals. Whether it's gentle haggling in the souqs, taking tea in a cafe or being hosted to dinner, the generous spirit of this region's communities is part of their charm and will instantly endear them to you - that and their good food!
2 - Legendary Footsteps
You are following in the steps of incredible history legends: Marco Polo, Lawrence of Arabia, Ibn Battuta....and now you!
3 - The Desert.
Some call it harsh and unforgiving, others wild and romantic; whatever your opinion, there is something hypnotic about the shifting sand dunes that frame this landscape.
4 - Saudi Arabia.
It's literally just opened its doors to tourists, and as a country they generate much curiosity. Come and see for yourself whether the futuristic city really does involve holographic teachers, or the beautiful coastal scenery boasted by Jeddah.
5 - UNESCO sites.
This trip is bursting with UNESCO heritage sites! From Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan, to Madain Selah and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, to the beehive tombs at Bat and Bahla Fort in Oman, you'll tick a few off your list!
6 - Coast to Coast
Travel from one coast to another. You'll travel from the Gulf of Aqaba to the Gulf of Oman. With sand - almost exclusively - in-between. Pretty cool, eh?
7 - A shoppers paradise.
Even if you're not looking to stock up on souvenirs, wandering the souqs of Arabia is the perfect way to see what life is like as a local. From the largest souq in Taif in Saudi to the oldest souq in Oman, you'll experience the markets across the region.
8 - A land of contrasts.
From wandering the streets of one of the world's richest cities, Riyadh, to taking dinner with a tribal leader in Oman, this trip really highlights both the subtle and not so subtle nuances of this region. You'll learn about the different countries, different cultures and what life is really like.
9 - Camels.
Did you know that every year in Saudi Arabia there is a camel beauty pageant? Or that Omani dromedaries tend to be smaller but speedy, ready for racing? These one-humped beauties will definitely be part of your trip, whichever part of Arabia you're in!
10 - Getting off the tourist trail.
Holidays to the region tend to be hotel-based, but our trip also includes bedouin camps and local farm stays in Oman (living like a local!) and bush camps in the desert under the stars. Don't worry - we stay in hotels as well, so you'll have showers and air con along the way!
