What Is Included:

The tour price includes all meals, all non-alcoholic beverages, all hotels—4* hotels throughout—the intimate and unique settings for meals and experiences, transportation within Saudi Arabia on desert-retrofitted Land Cruisers, local experts on Midian and Sinai, permits and licenses, highest Biblical scholars traveling with you and really everything that you will need to travel to the most intriguing locations for Biblical history that are available to us right now!

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:

The trip is not considered “active” unless it is something you want to participate in. Most of the sights in Saudi Arabia are within steps of your Land Cruiser, but if you do want to participate in an activity, there are opportunities on two of the Saudi expedition days. If you are not looking for activity, just know that walking is on fairly normal surfaces, and vehicles will be available to visit a few of the other nearby inscriptions and sites. Those who don’t wish to camp will return to a beautiful Red Sea hotel for those 3 nights.  Transportation utilizes Toyota Land Cruisers or equivalent. All the services meet our high standards, and you will be very comfortable and well pleased.

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
