Our Middle East tours are run in accordance with YPT’s branding and ethos: a competitive price, expert guides, and most importantly an adventure that will stick with you for life. Every tour is accompanied by an experienced western YPT guide and to encourage friendships and good times we cap our tour groups at a maximum of 24 people. Once we hit 25, we divide our tours into 2 different groups with their own vehicle, local guides and western YPT guides. Group sizes are usually around 10 – 12 people. As we like to say, “we do group tours for people who hate group tours”.
If our scheduled Middle Eastern group tours don’t match your travel dates or interests, we can create your very own private tour. We offer the following country specific pages if you are looking for a Middle-East Group tour to specific country, or for us to organize a bespoke Middle-East tour for you. YPT work with the best local guides, drivers and agents, and where needed can offer visa support.
