We spotted this deal from Sherman’s Travel on MSNBC, of all places, but it still seems very worth mentioning. Sherman’s Travel is offering week-long packages involving Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates starting at $1,599 per person, including airfare, hotels, and tours on the ground. The deals appear to be ending soon, so don’t hesitate, although even if you do it’s likely a similar deal will be offered right behind this one.

The very thought of travel to the Middle East is frightening to many people, but the reality is that all four of these countries are quite safe, at least from the perspective of visitors in the last few years. If you are looking for something very exotic at a very reasonable price, this might just be in.
