Until recently, bookings for Israel and Jordan have been slow, according to Abercrombie & Kent, but the region is having a real comeback with an increase in demand to the destination and local neighbour Egypt.
Abercrombie & Kent Australian managing director Sujata Raman said booking for Israel and Jordan tours are strong in March and September, with busiest travel months falling in July and October.
“Both destinations offer well-established tourist industries, with exceptionally high standards of accommodation, transport and guiding,” Raman said.
Apart from modern tourist facilities, the region boasts some of the world’s most spectacular archaeological sites and monuments from an astonishing number of different civilisations.
“While we have found that travel to Israel and Jordan is especially popular with 50+ audiences, the region really does lend itself very well to multi-generational travel,” Raman said.
