General Info

Our aim at Caravan-Serai Tours is to create tours that reflect the spirit of the travelers from long ago, who looked forward to the hospitality and the opportunity to learn from others that they would find at the next Caravan-Serai. At Caravan-Serai Tours, not only do we really know our destinations, but we understand them. We have lived, worked, and traveled throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and are proud of our heritage. Our multi-cultural office staff in Seattle hail from Jordan, Egypt, Iran, and the US, and have traveled all over the world, looking forward to those opportunities to meet new people and learn about their culture and traditions. This is not just a business for us ; it is a life's work to unveil a part of the world that is a mystery to so many. In order to give our clients a more personal experience, we keep our groups small - no more than 15 or 16 people on each tour. This allows for more interaction with your guides and the people you will meet while traveling in the Middle East, and more opportunity to experience Arab hospitality. The Arab tradition of hospitality is central to the culture of the people of the Middle East and a source of great pride. At Caravan-Serai Tours we operate with that same sense of pride that comes from showing you a region of the world we love.
