PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

• This is a tour for moderately active travelers. There are daily walking tours throughout

• Travelers must be able to climb in and out of our tender

TERRAIN & TRANSPORTATION

• Most shore excursions, especially those at ancient and medieval sites and in rural areas, require walking on uneven terrain
• Shore excursions utilize air-conditioned shuttles or motorcoaches. During the hotel-based land portion of this trip, a walking tour might leave directly from the hotel, or it might also utilize air-conditioned shuttles or motorcoaches

CLIMATE

• Due to the climate, we advise you to pack sunscreen and moisturizer (in the amounts permitted by TSA regulations), and bring a hat and sunglasses as well. These will be difficult to come by in the Middle East. If you’re traveling in summer, be sure to bring very cool (but modest) cotton or linen clothing
• Summer typically brings the warmest temperatures which can reach an average in the low 90s (32-35°C)
• Since the weather is unpredictable, please use this chart as a general guideline and check weather sites online for 10-day forecasts closer to your departure date to plan your packing accordingly
