THE MIDDLE EAST

(March 3, 2026) As reported in the media, the United States and Israel launched strikes inside Iran over the weekend. In response, Iran initiated retaliatory missile activity targeting Israel and military installations hosting U.S. forces in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates which has caused flight disruptions across the region. Due to a recent advisory from the U.S. State Department and continued air disruptions in the region, we have unfortunately made the difficult decision to cancel the below departures. Impacted guests and travel advisors are being contacted directly on a rolling basis; we sincerely appreciate your patience as we work through these notifications.

• Jordan & Egypt: Petra to the Pyramids - Due to the evolving situation and ongoing disruptions to air service into and out of Amman, Jordan, Tauck has made the difficult decision to cancel all March classic and small group departures of Jordan & Egypt: Petra to the Pyramids.
• Israel & Jordan - Currently not scheduled to operate until the fall. Our ability and intent to operate these journeys will be dependent on future developments in the region.
• Egypt: Jewels of the Nile - Given the recent State Department advisory, Tauck has made the difficult decision to cancel upcoming departures of the Egypt: Jewels of the Nile itinerary through March 15th, 2026. We will evaluate later departures on a rolling basis.

As always, Tauck's Global Response Team continues to actively monitor world events on an on-going basis, consulting with our vast network of outside agencies, supplier partners, and other industry contacts to stay abreast of circumstances in all areas where we operate. The health and wellbeing of our guests, employees, and partners are our highest priorities.
