Private Trips

I'm Doug — you may know me from my travels to Iraq and beyond on YouTube.

I specialize in designing (and sometimes leading) private trips to the Middle East, built around genuine local experiences instead of those standard tourist itineraries. Every trip we create is planned from scratch, for you: your interests, your pace, your style.

We work with only the best trusted local guides who know these places the way outsiders rarely get to see them. You'll get up close and personal with everything: the people, the food, the history, and the stories that make these places special.

If you're interested in experiencing a part of the world that's too often

misunderstood, then we'd love to help you do it right!

"Doug is not just an amazing tour guide; he is, more importantly, an incredible human being. Being half Iraqi, I had a deep-rooted desire to explore the land where my father came from. Doug not only fulfilled that longing, but went above and beyond. His ability to simplify and make everything comfortable made the entire journey memorable. Touring Iraq with him was an unparalleled experience, and I can't imagine doing it with anyone else. If you're contemplating traveling with Doug, rest assured, you won't regret it. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to explore other places with him in the future."
