Had an amazing time cycling & exploring Jordan. Lots of interesting activities on during the non cycling times. Petra & Wadi Rum were just amazing places.
Met some great people. I can’t fault Explore holidays. This was our 3rd trip & 1st cycling holiday.
We would 100% recommend & will book with Explore again.

This was an amazing trip and a great way to experience a small part of Oman. Marshal our tour leader was fantastic, always polite and professional, he was very happy to share the history and culture of Oman and to show points of interest which we might have otherwise missed. We covered a lot of ground in a week but saw wonderful and very varied scenery, enjoyed good food and had a lot of fun. The drivers we had were fantastic and I particularly enjoyed the drives in the desert and the mountains.

Another wonderful trip with World Expeditions. In addition to the expected highlights of Petra, Wadi Rum, snorkelling in the Red Sea and floating in the Dead Sea, the unexpected delights of visiting a local family at Um Qais (and cooking/dining with them), the expansive Roman ruins at Jerash and our extraordinary driver Firas made this trip wonderful.
The small additional cost of having a representative meet us at the airport and guide us through immigration was well worth it. The process was very quick and smooth.
We would thoroughly recommend this trip.

I’ll admit I thought this trip would be all malls and skyscrapers but I was pleasantly surprised. There’s so much more to the UAE than just glitz. The contrast between Dubai’s cutting-edge architecture and Abu Dhabi’s quieter, more traditional vibe really stood out. One moment we were staring up at the Burj Khalifa and the next we were soaking in the peaceful beauty of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
One of my favorite experiences was the Dhow dinner cruise in Dubai. Watching the city lights reflect on the water while enjoying dinner and live music made for a really memorable evening. The tour itself was very well organized. From airport pickup to hotel check-ins and day tours everything ran smoothly. Our guide Afran was friendly and informative,sharing local insights that made each stop more meaningful. My only regret is not booking an extra day at the end to slow down and take it all in.

Everything was perfect. was an excellent tour guide. I do feel bad that he wasn’t told or us that we would be lacking a ceo tour manager. was able to make up for it. But next time contiki should let the tour group know in case people want to cancel. Some folks were not happy.
