Please help!!! | Mell Mel Fla Post Count: 5113 Msg: #2 97 days ago, August 28th 2008 | Hello Vanh :) | I have travelled by myself in Egypt and Iran. I think you can travel by yourself in those countries if you want.

You could put a thread in the following forum if you are interested in that. | Looking for Travel Companions.

Cory Countryman | alonros alon Post Count: 9 Msg: #7 77 days ago, September 16th 2008 | 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.

There are however slower times based on weather & European travel habits. Cory Countryman <snip> | [Edited: 10:49 - Mell - Removed URL] Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 9 | |||||||||||||||||
