My group was pretty small due to the outbreak of war in the region though the trip was still amazing.  We traveled in a version of a stretched jeep with open sides.  Most nights were spent under the stars and we cooked meals on our own so maybe this trip is not for everybody...however I found it perfect.

This area - Istanbul to Cairo via Syria and Jordan - has so many religious and cultural sites to see it is astounding.  Take your time and be patient.  Yes there is a lot to see but stopping to look at the big picture will give your perspective when you think you cannot bear to see one more ruin.  These are more than crumbled rocks.
