MEDIA RELEASEOur New and Unique Journey in the Middle EastEgypt + Jordan + Israel + Abu Dhabi + Dubai
March 18, 2021 - Keene, New Hampshire - Responding both to the resumption in booking activity and an increased interest in travel to Egypt and beyond, Alexander + Roberts announces a new 19-day journey, Grand Capitals of the Middle East with an inaugural departure in October, 2021. The 74-year-old company has operated in the region since the 1960's and knows it well. Company president, Scott Avera, points out that since 'growth had occurred in all five destinations featured in this epic journey over the past several years, we decided to craft a program that comfortably combines them all. The new Abraham Accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates clinched the deal when a new non-stop between Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi was inaugurated.' There's now a smooth loop between the capitals of Cairo, Amman, Jerusalem, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The Antiquity + Modernity + Natural Beauty of the Middle EastIncluding 13 World Heritage sites, the tour begins with six nights in Egypt from the pyramids of Giza to Abu Simbel and the Valley of the Kings to Luxor and Karnak Temples. Then it's on to two nights in Petra featuring the illumination of the Treasury by candlelight and a 4X4 excursion into the pristine beauty of Wadi Rum. With VIP services across the Jordan River, a 4-night stay in Jerusalem allows time to explore the city as well as Galilee, Masada, the on-going archeological digs at the Qumran Caves, and the White City of Tel Aviv, the largest collection of Bauhaus architecture in the world. Following the direct flight to Abu Dhabi, a guided visit to both the new Louvre Museum and the astonishing Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque leads to a 2-night stay in the 'Empty Quarter' of the Arabian desert amidst magnificent, towering dunes. A 3-day exploration of the spectacle of Dubai rounds out the itinerary, with an optional extension to the World's Fair from October, 2021 to April, 2022.
