Hello Vanh :)

I have travelled by myself in Egypt and Iran. I think you can travel by yourself in those countries if you want.

Another option would be to find a female travel companion. You could put a thread in the following forum if you are interested in that.

Tours can be great but you see sooooo much more going solo. Cory Countryman

Hi
Some people prefer traveling alone and some prefer a tour. A tour is more convenient (everything is taken care of for you) and can be a social experience as well. Obviously traveling solo has its advantages but it is a personal choice. Here are a few tour operators that go to the reigons you are planning to go to. Choosing a tour also depends on the kind of travel you prefer: adventure, luxury, specialty...

Intrepid goes all over the Middle East including even to Iran and Yemen. They offer a more adventure oriented, off the beaten path kind of tour.

Infohub os a portal for specialty tours of all kinds, for example, hiking, birding, food, art...

Isram offers a more main stream kind of tour and is a well known operator.

Abercrombie & Kent offer lusury tours. They also have women only tours including one to Egypt.

Hope this helps

I don't think you have to worry abou them being "closed", as I've been to Corfu, etc. during the winter with no problems. There are however slower times based on weather & European travel habits. Cory Countryman <snip>
