Cruises to Middle East

On our cruises to Middle East, experience Egypt with its breathtaking landscapes of arid rock formations and camel-riding Bedouin decked in their traditional blue robes. See oases rise up like a mirage and visit the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids where hieroglyphics speak of life thousands of years ago. Throughout this region you become aware of the presence of great civilizations on a cruise to the Middle East. Time seems to stand still in the silence of the desert as monuments of the ancient past stand well preserved in the drifting sands. But there is life to be found if you look closely. Sharm el-Sheikh has beaches lined with palm trees and nearby, at the foot of Mt. Sinai, lies St. Catherine’s Monastery, the earliest surviving bastion of Christianity. Our cruises to the Middle East bring Bible stories into true perspective. Jordan, the land of Lawrence of Arabia, hosts the significant archaeological sites of Petra and Wadi Rum, while the UAE's Dubai, on the shores of the Persian Gulf, is in complete contrast with its shining skyscrapers revealing a truly modern city. Bahrain, thought to be the site of the Garden of Eden, hosts a large number of museums and Israel, with its cosmopolitan cities, draws Pilgrims from all over the world to worship at sacred sites in Jerusalem.
