Oriental Institute tours are more than vacations. They’re journeys of a lifetime – adventurous, intellectually stimulating and richly memorable. Oriental Institute Travel Programs provide exclusive visits and on-site learning privileges not enjoyed by other institutions and travel groups. Participants learn directly from some of the most eminent archaeologists and scholars in the world, at sites the OI has been excavating and researching for almost a century.
