The Best Private Trips to Book in the Middle East
Content and CRM Executive
Whether you’re looking to book a private trip with family, friends or a social group, these are the best Culture Trip itineraries you can book in the Middle East.
There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, but it also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Ultimate Egypt 2024
There’s a reason that Egypt has topped bucket lists for as long as travel has existed. This place is truly fascinating, and our nine-day tour shows you a hidden side to the country, as well as the sightseeing classics, of course. We’ll get those out of the way on an unforgettable first day that includes the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx and the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum. After that you’ll get a guided tour of Cairo’s bustling bazaars and hidden alleys, before we follow the river Nile south, first by sleeper train and then on a four-night luxury river cruise. Explore the ancient Luxor Temple while illuminated by candlelight, discover famous tombs in the Valley of the Kings and paddle down the Nile as we explore the islands of Aswan by kayak.

Majestic Turkey
Turkey is a nation that straddles continents and cultures, and you can simply hop on a ferry from Europe to Asia in Istanbul, the starting point of our 12-day epic. You’ll have two full days to explore this ancient city, from famous sights like the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia, to the lesser-known foodie delights of Kadikoy. After that we’ll journey deeper into Asia and the Middle East, first stopping off in the capital, Ankara, before exploring the truly ancient Bronze Age sites of Hattusas. We’ll eventually reach the surreal rock formations of Cappadocia, best seen on a hot-air balloon ride, which you’ll have the option of taking. You’ll hike valleys, sample wine, practice pottery and discover an underground city before eventually reaching Antalya, the gateway to the Turkish Riviera. Spend the remainder of your time having some well-deserved chill-time on the beach.

Epic Morocco
Some people might argue with us on this one, as many traditional takes don’t acknowledge Morocco as a Middle Eastern country. Geographically it’s hard to argue, since this nation is further west than France, but the North African nations that make up the Maghreb region are very much an extension of the Middle East, as part of the Arabic world. Much of the cultural touchstones, natural landscapes and city atmospheres here capture a similar feeling, as our remarkably varied 11-day trip proves. You’ll visit Africa’s largest mosque in Casablanca, discover old world charm in Fes and spend a night camping under the stars of the Sahara desert. Awake to a sunrise camel ride before heading up into the Atlas Mountains to visit rural Berber villages, before eventually reaching our final destination, Marrakech. The bustling medina captures the energy of a classic Middle Eastern city, and you’ll be treated to a stunning street food tour, as well as traditional cooking masterclass, before our Moroccan adventure comes to an end.
