Around the turn of the 20th century, young “Lawrence of Arabia” visited the Middle East— and quickly became a heroic leader of fighters during World War I. Follow in his footsteps as you immerse yourself in the cultures of three distinct nations — and contrast these discoveries with our pre-extension to Israel. At the center of your journey is an exhilarating seven-night cruise on the storied Red Sea. Aboard the privately chartered, 42-passenger M/Y Harmony G, you’ll visit ports not seen by most Americans — including a rare visit to Saudi Arabia. This one-of-a-kind itinerary even takes in the Gubal Islands, Alexandria, and the Suez Canal, which connects the Nile River and the Red Sea. You’ll also experience local life in the region on exclusive intercultural events, plus stays in Amman and Petra, Jordan.
