Important for Acceptance into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:

In the past years travel to the Kingdom was not allowed with Israeli stamps in your passport. That is no longer the case as of today.

Be advised that you will be fingerprinted and undergo a retinal scan upon arrival in the country.

The country is undergoing a remarkable restoration and we cannot predict if a site might be under construction. Be sure to study the artificial intelligence-operated area called NEOM. Our travels will take us into the middle area of it.

Important Travel Details:

Our trip is considered active on two days in Saudi Arabia and one to two days in Jordan. This means that, if you choose to hike (or climb), two days will offer ample time. If you are not a hiker, just know that walking is on fairly normal surfaces. You do not need to climb up Mount Sinai or sit inside the Split Rock of Horeb to enjoy the sites. There are some hikes and climbs, more demanding walks at certain sites, or when walking to sites. This includes a few elevations, a comfortable but busy schedule, some long rides, and extensive drives. Our primary hotel on the Red Sea is a brand new, lovely privately owned hotel with spectacular views. Should we need to stay in Tabuk to accommodate your air, it will be a 4-star Western-style hotel with all amenities. The resort near Aqaba (if you choose the dive or Petra extension) is a simple Red Sea front resort with easy access and it is small and intimate enough to meet our needs for fellowship without getting lost in a huge complex. Note the Saudis reserve the right to always change our hotels, so we cannot be responsible should they decide to place us in another property. You also have the option of spending one-night camping at the base of Jabal al-Lawz. 60% of all transportation is in Toyota Land Cruisers or equivalent. All the services meet our high standards, and you will be very comfortable and pleased. We obtain a visa on your behalf approximately 32 days before departure. You may also obtain your visas on your own. Your trip in Saudi Arabia includes hotels, ALL meals, and water on the entire trip. It includes the 4WD transportation and all transportation throughout the trip, all entrance fees, guiding, highly specialized permits, teaching, pre-trip materials, and visa assistance. Please note that in addition to the cost of the tour, there is a visa fee and optional trip cancellation insurance. We strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance which includes medical insurance while outside of the USA and trip delay protection included, etc. We also can offer an upgraded program that allows you to “Cancel for Any Reason”.

Traveling Single:

We match roommates! If you are a single person or traveling alone, we do have others who would like to travel with us without paying the single supplement. We assign roommates approximately 2 weeks prior to departure. We cannot guarantee it, but it has worked well for many. Learn more here.

Please note:

• There is a credit card price and a discounted price when paying cash/check for the cruise. You may, if you wish, make your deposit and insurance premium payment by credit card and pay the balance by check. If you choose to do this, we will apply the cash discount to your full cost.
• Transfers are not included unless you are taking our optional air program. If you make your own flight arrangements or book outside of the optional group air, you will be responsible for obtaining your transfer to and from our starting and ending destinations
