Oasis Caravan overland trip travels from Istanbul to Cairo and vice versa. Currently the itinerary includes flying over Syria (additional cost) and in its place we spend extra time exploring Turkey, Jordan and Egypt. The Oasis Nomad from Damascus to Cairo and v.v. now starts or ends in Jordan’s capital Amman instead of Damascus.

Oasis Overland Director, Chris Wrede recently went to Egypt with his family and says this is a great time to visit the Middle East. “There are big changes going on in the Middle East and Syria is presently out of bounds but if you want to see the positive changes taking place after such significant historical events, witnessed by the world, then we can take you to those parts of Egypt, Jordan and Turkey that are safe, welcoming and hospitable. This is a fantastic time to visit – some of the world’s most famous sites like the Pyramids and Petra are quiet and free from crowds and you can also go to Tahrir Square and other sites that were backdrops to the Revolution. I took my family to Egypt last month and we all, especially the kids, had a brilliant holiday, everyone was so pleased to see us there supporting their new country.”

The next 37 day Oasis Caravan starts in Cairo on 18th August or in Istanbul on 2nd October.

The next 21 day Oasis Nomad Trip starts in Amman on 27th July or in Cairo on 18th August.
