I've been dealing with Arab Tours since 2014 and always received a warm, friendly welcome from their staff. They offer high-quality, trusted, and honest service. For anyone planning to go abroad, I highly recommend contacting Arab Tours for quick and affordable flight arrangements. Thanks to the entire team for making my experiences enjoyable.

I've trusted Arab Tours with my flights to Libya since 2001, they are highly respected within the Libyan community. Being a family-run business, they offer personalized service and consistently find the best deals for me and my family. Even outside of office hours, they are accommodating and take my calls. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable travel assistance.

As a business traveler, I have used Arab Tours for several years, and I always deal with Ayman. He is very observant and consistently finds the best solutions for my specific itineraries. Detailed information is always clearly provided, and any changes I need to make are handled smoothly. Thank you for making my business travels hassle-free and efficient. Your exceptional service and attention to detail are greatly appreciated. I hope to continue this excellent partnership. Keep up the excellent work. Arab Tours!

I really enjoyed our trip to Jordan. Me and my husband booked on the Discover Jordan itinerary earlier this year. Petra is amazing (a must see) and Wadi Rum were the highlights for us, like being on another planet. The locals are also welcoming and even our driver Ahmed was very informative. I had a great time, would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. 5*

Had a nice chilled out time in Jordan for 6 nights. A nice little visit to see Petra and then relaxation in Aqaba. Diving for the first time was amazing! Underwater beauty of corals and colorful fish. The hotel was really nice and clean too and the staff so friendly. A nice break to recharge the batteries :)

I never thought of Saudi Arabia having so much beautiful nature and landscapes, but wow! If you love a bit of adventure, check out the Discover North Tour. Sand dunes, 4x4 into Zeeta mountains, breathtaking views of Al Ula and what a nice (but easy) hike. I would definitely love to do this again. Thanks Arab Tours.
