The 7 Best Touring Bikes for Your Next Long-Distance Adventure

These bike-packing-friendly rides are ready for your next multiday tour or cross-country adventure.

In an industry that thrives on specialization, the touring bike is designed to be a versatile machine that can be your everyday commuter as well as the bike that takes you from Portland to Patagonia. Touring bikes differ from “regular” road bikes in a few ways. Here’s what you need to look for.

See our top picks below, then scroll down for more in-depth reviews of these bikes and other great options, as well as helpful buying tips and advice.

Most Versatile Steel

Niner rlt 9 steel, what to consider, classic, adventure, and expedition.

Classic touring bikes are typically steel, have upright geometry, long chainstays, and often have fenders and a rear rack for panniers. They can look vintage even if they’re brand-new. The wheels of classic touring bikes are usually 700c and have a high spoke count (32- or 36-hole). Classic touring bikes used to have rim brakes, but mechanical disc brakes are starting to take over the category. Classic touring bikes can have either a flat or drop bar.

Adventure bikes are built to blur the lines between mountain bikes and road bikes . They love pavement, they love gravel, they love dirt, and that’s good because you might come across all of those surfaces during your tour. They typically have a drop bar, mechanical or hydraulic disc brakes, and a “dealer’s choice” of wheel sizes with clearance for a variety of tire sizes. And many adventure touring bikes are equipped to handle a dropper post.

Expedition touring bikes are exactly what they sound like: burly steeds crafted to handle big miles in remote territory. They’re almost always made of steel, with 26-inch wheels and rim brakes. All of this is designed to make them easy to work on and find spare parts for, even if you’re in a tiny town whose name you can’t pronounce.

Touring Bike Materials

Steel is the classic frame choice because it is strong and stiff and can be fixed by any mechanic with a blowtorch in a pinch. But you’ll find plenty of aluminum touring bikes on the market and an increasing number of carbon frames, although repairing a carbon frame in rural areas isn’t really an option. You can find titanium touring bikes that are expensive but tough and light, and the vibration damping can be a godsend on rough roads and dirt .

Touring Bike Geometry

A handful of subtle differences within touring bike geometries set them apart from road bikes. Touring geometry is more upright, creating a riding position that’s more comfortable during long hours in the saddle. Different bike companies refer to this as their “endurance” or “adventure” geometry. This “endurance” geometry plays out in a handful of different ways.

The wheelbase and chainstay of a classic touring bike is typically longer to make room for rear racks and panniers, and the bottom bracket is typically lower to increase stability. The head tube is typically longer on a touring bike, essentially elevating the handlebar, and there’s more slack, helping to extend the wheelbase. Touring bikes also generally have a shorter top tube, or more importantly, a shorter “reach,” which is the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the head tube. This is designed to keep you more upright, making you reach less for the handlebar.

How We Evaluated

Finding the best touring bikes requires riding hundreds of miles while hauling a heavy load. Our list comprises touring bikes we’ve personally tested, with some picks based on market research and prior brand experience. We dug into each touring bike’s specs and reputation and looked into Bicycling archives to find the best of the best. These touring bikes are tough, weight-bearing, and can confidently take you cross-country.

The Salsa Cutthroat is an ideal match for the performance-focused gravel rider who commonly encounters gnarly terrain on their adventures. It’s nearly a hardtail mountain bike, with a rigid fork and drop bars. Outfitted with a full-carbon frame and fork, a Shimano GRX 1x groupset, and 29x2.2-inch Teravail Sparwood tires, five bottle mounts, and front- and rear-rack mounting points, this bike is ready to embark on your next adventure and deliver a performance-oriented ride for the duration of your journey.

The Cannondale Topstone 4 is one smooth ride, thanks to a stiff aluminum frame. No, it doesn’t have suspension, but it doesn’t need it: Its bump-absorbing carbon fork is excellent for gravel and trails alike. No hydraulic disc brakes, unfortunately, but for its price, the Topstone 4 is a fantastic adventure bike with mounts to match.

Body-inclusive bike influencer Marley Blonsky, who rides a Cannondale Topstone 4 in size XS, loves this bike. “It’s an amazingly sturdy and versatile bike,” she says, “especially for the money. I’ve done everything from Unbound Gravel to bike camping to commuting on it—it has worked beautifully for everything!"

The Diverge E5 is one of the better do-anything, go-anywhere bikes today. A swap from its stock 38mm-wide tires to 30mm- or 32mm-wide tires can make it feel a sporty road bike, while switching to 700 x 47mm or 650b x 2.1-inch tires gives it some off-roading ability. For adventurers, it’s got frame and fender mounts, plus mechanical Tektro Mira flat-mount disc brakes that are, surprisingly (for its price), reliable and firm.

Our test editor Dan Chabanov loves the Diverge E5 and says it can be set up to do almost anything. “It’s not the perfect tool for any one task; it is capable of doing them all.”

Read Full Review

The Bianchi GRX600 is an e-bike outfitted to handle gravel and steep hills as much as pavement. It has rigid suspension, an aluminum frame, and, thankfully, hydraulic disc brakes for great stopping power. Kenda 700c x 35 tires help riders plow through the muck, plus a tire clearance of 38mm lends it some extra rubber when needed. It's also got plenty of mounts for baggage. The downside? You'll need an outlet to charge that bike once its battery runs out of juice.

“Touring with electric road bikes is an increasingly popular option for riders, and e-bike touring is very popular in Europe,” says Bicycling deputy editor Tara Seplavy . "E-bikes are a good option for hotel/B&B touring, or if you are camping and know that your destination has the electricity to recharge when you arrive.”

One of senior test editor Matt Phillips’ favorite bikes of 2022 and a gravel award-winner for the year, the Otso Waheela C is a versatile carbon ride with a lot of range. It has adjustable rear dropouts which adjust chainstay lengths to 420, 430, or 440mm, and has room for up to a whopping 54mm in either 700c or 650b. It’s also one of the only production bikes with suspension-correct geometry, terrific for extreme gravel riding. And yes: It still has plenty of mounts for carrying baggage.

“Perfect it is not—the bike is a little on the heavy side, and the ride is a bit firm with narrower tires,” says Phillips, “but the Waheela has a long front center for stability with the fast and lively feel of a high-performance bike.”

Surly’s Long Haul Trucker has been a favorite of touring cyclists for decades. However, its Disc Trucker, initially introduced in 2012, has been redesigned, giving it the edge over its older cousin. Surly shortened the chainstay length for snappy acceleration and adopted a thru-axle for increased stiffness.

The Disc Trucker also has a decreased stand-over height and increased stack height, which gives the bike a more upright geometry for long days in the saddle. The Truckstop handlebar complements that all-day geometry, and a new fork accommodates pack mounts so you can carry some of your load on the front of your bike. The bike isn’t all new and glitzy; you still get the tried and true 3x9 drivetrain, so you have plenty of gears for the climb.

What if your bike were actually several bikes that transformed based on your shifting moods or terrain? That’s the concept behind Niner’s RLT9, a super customizable long hauler built for gravel, pavement, dirt…whatever floats your boat. The hand-welded Reynolds 853 steel frame anchors the build, but the RTL9 also features a PF30 bottom bracket that makes it easy to go from the stock 11-speed drivetrain to a single-speed setup. The clearance has room for tires up to 700 x 50c but also fits 650b wheels. You can even add a dropper post to get into the steeps.

Niner borrowed some tech from the mountain bike world, most notably the lower bottom bracket height and a slack headtube angle to boost all-day comfort, and the rig comes stock with Shimano GRX800 components, which are built to handle the dirt and grime of gravel. We also like the 26 different mounting points and the custom bags that Niner makes mount directly to the frame without needing straps or Velcro.

How to fix bent bicycle rim.

Learning how to repair a bent bike wheel is an essential ability for all bike riders. As an avid cyclist myself, I’ve encountered numerous instances where colliding with curbs and potholes has resulted in my wheel getting bent. A distorted wheel can bring about diminished control, irregular tire wear, and in severe situations, render your bicycle inoperable.

But fear not, with the right tools and a bit of know-how, fixing a bent rim is a relatively easy task that can be done at home.

The first step in fixing a bent rim is identifying the damage. This can be done by spinning the wheel and looking for any visible wobbles or dips in the rim. Once the damage has been located, the wheel must be removed from the bike to properly straighten the rim.

With the right technique and a bit of patience, straightening a bent rim can be done without causing any damage to the wheel or spokes. In this article, I will guide you through the process of fixing a bent rim step-by-step, so you can get back on the road with a smooth and safe ride.

• Prevention of bicycle rim damage is important to avoid poor handling, uneven tire wear, and unrideable bikes.
• Proper removal and usage of the quick release lever is necessary to avoid damaging the rims or causing accidents while riding.
• Identifying the location of the bend and applying pressure gradually with a spoke wrench can straighten the rim, but severe damage may require replacing the wheel.
• Regular maintenance of the wheel, including checking tire pressure and brake alignment, can prevent future damage and ensure optimal performance and safety.

Identify the Damage

Take a close look at your wheel and feel for any bumps or dips that could indicate a bent bicycle rim. Common causes of this type of damage include hitting a pothole, curb, or other obstacle in the road.

Prevention of bicycle rim damage involves avoiding these obstacles whenever possible and riding at a slower speed on rough terrain. If you suspect that your bicycle rim is bent, it’s important to address the issue promptly. Continuing to ride on a damaged rim can cause further damage to the wheel and potentially lead to a dangerous situation.

Finding a professional repair service can be a good option for those who aren’t comfortable making the repairs themselves. Before removing the wheel, be sure to mark the location of the valve stem to ensure that it’s reinstalled in the correct position.

Remove the Wheel

To remove the wheel from my bicycle frame, I need to first loosen the brake calipers using a 5mm Allen wrench.

Once the calipers are loose, I can release the quick release lever on the wheel hub. This will make it easy to slide the wheel out of the frame.

It’s important to remember to keep the chain in place and not let it fall off the derailleur as I remove the wheel.

Loosen the Brake Calipers

First, loosen the brake calipers by squeezing the brake lever and opening the quick release mechanism on the brake arm. This will allow the rim to move freely while you work on it. It’s important to note that adjusting tension and realigning brake pads may be necessary after loosening the calipers.

Make sure to take note of the current position of the brake pads before loosening and adjust them accordingly once the rim is fixed. Once the brake calipers are loosened, you can move onto the next step of releasing the quick release lever.

This will allow you to remove the wheel from the frame and access the bent rim more easily. However, before doing so, make sure to secure the bike in a stable position to prevent it from falling over while you work on it.

Release the Quick Release Lever

Now you’ll want to release the quick release lever, allowing you to easily remove the wheel from the frame and get to work on it. Just make sure to keep your bike secure so it doesn’t tip over during the process! It’s important to properly use the quick release lever to avoid damaging your rims or even causing an accident while riding. Improper usage of the quick release lever can actually cause bent rims beyond just the initial issue that caused you to take off the wheel in the first place.

To emphasize the importance of proper quick release usage, take a look at the table below:

While quick release issues are a common cause of bent rims, there are other factors to consider as well. For instance, hitting a pothole or curb too hard, or even just normal wear and tear over time can cause damage to your rims. With that in mind, let’s move on to the next step of removing the wheel from the frame.

Remove the Wheel from the Frame

Once the quick release lever is released, the wheel can be easily popped out of the frame like a puzzle piece. It’s important to handle the wheel with care and avoid putting pressure on the spokes or axle. Proper wheel maintenance is crucial to keep it functioning well and to prevent future damage. This includes regular cleaning, lubrication, and proper inflation of the tires.

How To Tell Bicycle Tire Size

Riding a bicycle can be equated to navigating the seas on land. Similar to how a sailor must select an appropriate sail to match the wind conditions, a cyclist must also opt for the proper tire size to suit the road conditions.

Determining the tire size of your bicycle can be a daunting task, but it is a crucial one that affects your ride quality and safety. In this article, I will guide you through the process of determining your bicycle tire size.

I will explain the two measurements that make up tire size, the different tire sizes for different types of bicycles, and how to find the tire size on your bicycle. Additionally, I will provide tips for maintaining your bicycle tires to ensure they last longer and perform better on the road.

So, let’s dive in and demystify the world of bicycle tire sizes!

• Tire size is determined by diameter and width, not just wheel diameter or width.
• Different types of bicycles require different tire sizes, with mountain bike tires being wider with more tread, road bike tires designed for speed and smoothness, hybrid bike tires in between, and cruiser bike tires similar to mountain bike tires.
• Inner tubes should be chosen based on quality and tread pattern, as cheaper inner tubes may be more prone to punctures.
• Proper tire pressure is crucial for a smooth ride and preventing flats, and tires should be inspected regularly for wear and damage, with signs of wear and damage including cracks, bulges, uneven wear, and loss of inflation.

Understand the Two Measurements for Bicycle Tire Sizes

So, you wanna know how to tell the size of your bicycle tires? Well, the first thing you need to understand are the two measurements used to describe tire sizes.

Common misconceptions are that tire size is simply determined by the diameter of the wheel, or that all tires with the same width will fit on the same rim. However, the two measurements that really matter are the diameter of the tire and the width of the tire.

The diameter of the tire is given in inches or millimeters, while the width is given in inches only. If you have a tire that’s measured in millimeters, you’ll need to convert it to inches using a conversion chart.

This is important because different rims and tires are designed to work together, so it’s important to know the correct size of your tires. Now that you know how to measure your tire size, let’s move on to the different tire sizes for different types of bicycles.

Know the Different Tire Sizes for Different Types of Bicycles

You probably already know that all bikes are not created equal, and neither are their tires. Different types of bicycles require different tire sizes, which can be confusing to those who are not familiar with the specific measurements. For example, mountain bike tire sizes are typically wider and have more tread than road bike tire sizes, which are designed for speed and smoothness.

To better understand the differences in tire sizes, take a look at the following table:

As you can see, the tire size and width can vary greatly depending on the type of bike. It’s important to choose the appropriate tire size for your bike to ensure optimal performance and safety. Knowing the correct size will also make it easier to find replacement tires or switch out your tires for different riding conditions.

Moving onto the next section, let’s discuss how to find the tire size on your bicycle.

Find the Tire Size on Your Bicycle

Discovering the measurements of your bike’s wheels can be pivotal in ensuring a safe and efficient ride. To find the tire size on your bicycle, you can follow these measuring techniques:

Look at the sidewall of the tire – The size will be written in a sequence of numbers and letters, such as ‘700x23c’ or ’26×2.0′.

Measure the diameter of the wheel – Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance from the bottom of the tire to the top of the tire across the center. This will give you the diameter in inches or millimeters.

Measure the width of the tire – Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the width of the tire in millimeters or inches.

Avoid common mistakes – Don’t confuse the tire size with the rim size, and don’t assume that all tires of the same size will fit on your bicycle.

Knowing the correct tire size is crucial in ensuring a smooth and safe ride. Once you’ve determined the tire size, you can move on to determining the correct inner tube size for your bicycle.

Determine the Correct Inner Tube Size

Now that you’ve got the measurements down, it’s time to find the perfect inner tube to ensure a smooth ride that’ll have you feeling as light as a feather.

When shopping for inner tubes, it’s important to compare brands to find the best quality for your bike. Cheaper inner tubes may be more affordable, but they’re often made with thinner rubber and are more prone to punctures. Higher-quality inner tubes will be made with thicker rubber and have better puncture resistance.

Another factor to consider when choosing an inner tube is the tread. Different tread patterns are designed for different types of riding. If you’re using your bike for commuting or leisurely rides on paved roads, a smooth tread pattern will be sufficient. However, if you’re planning on doing some off-road riding or mountain biking, a more aggressive tread pattern will provide better traction and control.

By comparing brands and considering the tread, you can find the perfect inner tube to keep your ride smooth and enjoyable.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

• Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
• Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
• How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
• What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
• What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
• What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.

Bucket List: Dance the tango in Argentina Spend a month in Australia and New Zealand

Follow Jan on Instagram   and Twitter

When Jan was a newspaper editor years ago, she got invited on a trip to Turks & Caicos (Via a letter. Remember those?), and that trip launched her travel writing career. Fast forward many passport stamps, plane rides and hotel rooms later and she is now thrilled to be editor-in-chief of The Travel 100.

She has several years of editorial and social media experience at magazines and newspapers and was formerly managing editor at Travelgirl magazine. Her corporate work includes the writing and editing of columns, eNewsletters, magazines, blogs and books for a variety of clients.

Her travel writing also appears in Fodor’s Travel, Orbitz, national magazines, her  Girl on the Go  site and on “Belinda Skelton’s Atlanta Living” website for the nationally syndicated radio show, where Jan makes guest appearances as a travel expert. She is a native of Atlanta, a graduate of Westminster and the University of Virginia. Jan is a member of the Society of American Travel Writers and the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association.

Founder and publisher of The 100 Companies and The Atlanta 100, Chris previously founded PR firm SPR Atlanta in 2002, before selling it in November 2017. Prior to that, he worked at six Southeastern daily newspapers, serving as creative director, promotions director, reporter and editor – winning awards for his reporting and print advertisement design. He established his own chain of Atlanta neighborhood newspapers in 1994, selling them to real estate developer Tom Cousins in 2002.

A fifth-generation Atlantan, Chris is a graduate of Westminster and the University of Virginia and the creator of Moments on SaportaReport.com where he was a founding member. He serves on various community boards and advisory committees when he’s not riding his bike, attending music festivals, traveling the country meeting potential PR firm members or visiting with children, his granddaughter, family and friends.

Chris Butsch is an author, speaker, meditation instructor and “Millennial Happiness Expert.” In 2015, Chris left a career in IT project management to study happiness full time. He has written three books: The Millennial’s Guide to Making Happiness Volumes I & II and ASAP Happiness: 25 Ways to Build a Happier Life (in the Next 5 Minutes). He also writes the Cars columns for The Atlanta 100 and Georgia Followers.

A native of Atlanta, Chris graduated from Westminster in 2009 and Vanderbilt in 2012 with a degree he designed in Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship. In college, he hosted a heavy metal radio show under the now-ironic moniker DJ RAGE.

Lisa’s career has spanned 30 years in the publishing world, both in-house and freelance for publications such as Atlanta Magazine, Better Homes & Gardens, Traditional Home, Country Home, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, plus thousands of by-lined pieces for the Atlanta Journal/Constitution, Garden & Gun, Styleblueprint, Woman’s Day, Metropolitan Home, Luxe magazine, and more.

Because of many years writing and styling for interior design articles, travel destinations with an architectural slant are a natural fit. She also loves the arts and cuisine (fine dining and food trucks equally), but because she’s married to a biology professor who studies wildlife, Lisa has a strong affinity for the outdoors and nature.

Wildest trip : With afore-mentioned scientist husband, spending a month in a tent in remote Kenya as he researched the red colobus monkey for Emory University at a primate reserve. They cooked their own food, got stuck in a jeep in the middle of lion-poacher territory, almost stepped on a boa constrictor, and saw baboons, vervet monkeys, and mangabes daily.

Most recent glam trip : A week in Provence, France, staying at a villa owned by an antiques dealer.

Best “practically free” trip : Taking advantage of Volvo’s Overseas Delivery Program to pick up a Volvo SUV in Gothenberg, Sweden. “For the same cost–actually less–of buying a new Volvo through a dealer, getting it direct from Sweden means you’re flown over (business class), put up at a hotel and given a 5-Star meal or two, then you have use of your new car to take on the road anywhere in Europe,” she says.

Bucket list: Visit Domaine de la Romanee Conti

New to traveling, Shane is on a quest to experience culture across the world through food and beverage. Over the past 10 years, he has studied tea, coffee, wine and spirits through various channels, and currently works with over 300 meat and seafood suppliers across the world. He is also on the leadership team with the Millennials Chamber of Commerce as the VP of Events.

Memorable Travel Moment: Watching the Little Blue Penguins—the world’s smallest penguins—come ashore and scurry up to their burrows at dusk after a day of fishing, at Pilots Beach on the Otago Peninsula, New Zealand.

Bucket List: It’s still a pretty long list, despite my recent travels: Iceland, Denmark, Bermuda, Venice, The Terracotta Army, Puerto Rico, and making it to all 50 states (six to go!).

Lisa moved to Colorado from Chicago when she was just 12 years old. She has been a full-time freelance writer and editor for more than 20 years and recently began concentrating on travel and tourism. She also writes about food and drink, wellness, and health and fitness for dozens of local, regional, national and international publications. As recent empty-nesters, Lisa and her husband, Jack, like to travel as often as possible, often returning to their favorite destination, Hawaii. In her spare time, Lisa loves to cook and was “this close” to competing on an episode of “Chopped.”

Mary Charlebois is a freelance journalist, photographer, videographer and editor. Her home base is on the wild, remote, and fragile Mendocino Coast.

U.S. issues travel warning for Israel with Iran attack believed to be imminent and fear Gaza war could spread

By Debora Patta , Tucker Reals

Updated on: April 13, 2024 / 5:25 PM EDT / CBS News

Update: Iran launched drone attacks against Israel on Saturday. Read CBS News'  latest coverage here .

Tel Aviv  — Israel is bracing for a worst-case scenario that U.S. officials believe could materialize within just hours — the possibility of a direct attack on Israeli soil by Iran in retaliation for a strike almost two weeks ago that killed seven Iranian military officers. Iran has vowed to take revenge for Israel killing its commanders, who were hit by an April 1 strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria's capital.

Two U.S. officials told CBS News that a major Iranian attack against Israel was expected as soon as Friday, possibly to include more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles aimed at military targets inside the country. Sources have told CBS News the retaliation could include attacks carried out both by Iranian forces, and proxy groups around the region that it has been funneling additional arms to for weeks.  

The officials said it would be challenging for the Israelis to defend against an attack of that magnitude, and while they held out the possibility that the Iranians could opt for a smaller-scale attack to avoid a dramatic escalation, their retaliation was believed to be imminent. 

Asked Friday how imminent he believes an attack is, President Biden responded, "I don't want to get into secure information, but my expectation is sooner than later." The president urged Iran not to move forward, saying his message to Tehran was: "Don't."

Tehran has not indicated publicly how or when it will return fire, so it's unclear how far Iran's leaders will go. If they decide to carry out a direct attack on Israel, there's fear it could blow Israel's ongoing war against Iranian ally Hamas up into a much wider regional conflict.

With the Iranian retaliation expected at any time, the U.S. State Department on Thursday warned Americans in Israel not to travel outside major cities, which are better protected from incoming rocket fire by the country's Iron Dome missile defense system. The latest guidance noted that travel by U.S. government employees in Israel could be further restricted with little notice as things develop in the tinderbox region.

"Whoever harms us, we will harm them," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Thursday as he visited troops at an Israel Defense Forces airbase. "We are prepared … both defensively and offensively."

On Saturday, all U.S. embassies in the Middle East were put on high alert and required to hold emergency action committee meetings. Diplomats in Lebanon and Israel were specifically told not to travel to certain areas within those countries.

Sima Shine, a security expert and former official with Israel's national intelligence agency Mossad, told CBS News it was a dangerous moment for the region, and the "most worried" she has been. She said anxiety over an all-out war was likely just as high "on both sides, in Israel and in Iran."

If Iran does choose to strike Israel directly, it could involve a complex missile and drone attack similar to the one Iranian forces launched against a Saudi oil facility in 2019 .

"They will try to do it on the military or some military asset," Shine predicted. "But the question will be the damage. If there would be many injured people, killed or injured … I think it has the potential for a huge escalation."

Shine stressed, however, that she still believes neither side actually wants a regional conflict.

U.S. "really trying to avoid war"

The U.S. sent a senior general to Israel this week to coordinate with the close American ally on any response it might make to an Iranian attack. Speaking Friday on "CBS Mornings," America's top military officer said, "we're really trying to avoid war."

"This is part of the dialogue that I have with my counterparts within the region, to include the Israeli chief of defense, who I talked to yesterday," said Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., adding that the U.S. military was "doing things not only to prevent a war, but at the same time, one of my primary things is to make sure all the forces in the region are protected."

"My role, as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is to plan and prepare," Brown said. "That's one thing we do very well."

Brown's Israeli counterpart, Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, "completed a comprehensive situational assessment on the readiness of the IDF for all scenarios," Israel's military said Friday. 

"The IDF is very strongly prepared, both offensively and defensively, against any threat," Halevi was quoted as saying in the statement. "The IDF continues to monitor closely what is happening in Iran and different arenas, constantly preparing to deal with existing and potential threats in coordination with the United States Armed Forces." 

The IDF said the visiting U.S. general, Central Command chief Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, was taking part in the IDF's situational assessment.

The dilemma for Iran, said Israeli expert Shine, is to figure out how to deliver its promised response to Israel's attack in Syria, but in a way that does not lead to further escalation. Likewise, Shine said Israel could choose to show restraint when it responds to whatever Iran eventually does.

If either side gets the balance wrong, the consequences for the region, and even the world, could be dire.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates tried to wring itself out Thursday after the heaviest recorded rainfall ever to hit the desert nation , with its main airport allowing more flights even as floodwater still covered portions of major highways and communities.

Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel , allowed global carriers on Thursday morning to again fly into Terminal 1 at the airfield. And long-haul carrier Emirates, crucial to East-West travel, began allowing local passengers to arrive at Terminal 3, their base of operations.

However, Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths said in an interview with The Associated Press that the airfield needed at least another 24 hours to resume operations close to its usual schedule. Meanwhile, one desert community in Dubai saw floodwaters continue to rise Thursday to as much as 1 meter (3 feet) as civil defense officials struggled to pump out the water.

“We were looking at the radar thinking, ‘Goodness, if this hits, then it’s going to be cataclysmic,’” Griffiths said of the storm. “And indeed it was.”

The airport ended up needing 22 tankers with vacuum pumps to get water off its grounds. Griffiths acknowledged that taxiways flooded during the rains, though the airport’s runways remained free of water to safely operate. Online videos of a FlyDubai flight landing with its reverse thrust spraying out water caught the world’s attention.

“It looks dramatic, but it actually isn’t that dramatic,” Griffiths said.

Emirates, whose operations had been struggling since the storm Tuesday, had stopped travelers flying out of the UAE from checking into their flights as they tried to move out connecting passengers. Pilots and flight crews also had a hard time reaching the airport given the water on roadways.

But on Thursday, Emirates lifted that order to allow customers into the airport. That saw some 2,000 people come into Terminal 3, again sparking long lines, Griffiths said.

Others who arrived at the airport described hourslong waits to get their baggage, with some just giving up to head home or to whatever hotel would have them.

The UAE, a hereditarily ruled, autocratic nation on the Arabian Peninsula, typically sees little rainfall in its arid desert climate. However, a massive storm forecasters had been warning about for days blew through the country’s seven sheikhdoms.

By the end of Tuesday, more than 142 millimeters (5.59 inches) of rainfall had soaked Dubai over 24 hours. An average year sees 94.7 millimeters (3.73 inches) of rain at Dubai International Airport. Other areas of the country saw even more precipitation.

Meanwhile, intense floods also have struck neighboring Oman in recent days. Authorities on Thursday raised the death toll from those storms to at least 21 killed.

The UAE’s drainage systems quickly became overwhelmed Tuesday, flooding out neighborhoods, business districts and even portions of the 12-lane Sheikh Zayed Road highway running through Dubai.

The state-run WAM news agency called the rain “a historic weather event” that surpassed “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.”

In a message to the nation late Wednesday, Emirati leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, said authorities would “quickly work on studying the condition of infrastructure throughout the UAE and to limit the damage caused.”

On Thursday, people waded through oil-slicked floodwater to reach cars earlier abandoned, checking to see if their engines still ran. Tanker trucks with vacuums began reaching some areas outside of Dubai’s downtown core for the first time as well. Schools remain closed until next week.

Authorities have offered no overall damage or injury information from the floods, which killed at least one person.

However, at least one community saw the effects of the rainfall only get worse Thursday. Mudon, a development by the state-owned Dubai Properties, saw flooding in one neighborhood reach as much as 1 meter. Civil defense workers tried to pump the water out, but it was a struggle as people waded through the floodwater.

Residents of Mudon, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity given the UAE’s strict laws governing speech, described putting together the equivalent of nearly $2,000 to get a tanker to the community Wednesday. They alleged the developers did nothing to help prior to that, even as they called and emailed. They also said a nearby sewage processing facility failed, bringing more water into their homes.

“A lot of people were in denial of how bad it was,” one homeowner said as civil defense officials waded through the water, bringing bottled water on a raft.

Dubai Holding, a state-owned company that has Dubai Properties as an arm, did not respond to questions. It’s part of a wider nexus that U.S. diplomats have called “Dubai Inc.” — all properties overseen by the city-state’s ruling family.

The flooding sparked speculation that the UAE’s aggressive campaign of cloud seeding — flying small planes through clouds dispersing chemicals aimed at getting rain to fall — may have contributed to the deluge. But experts said the storm systems that produced the rain were forecast well in advance and that cloud seeding alone would not have caused such flooding.

Scientists also say climate change is responsible for more intense and more frequent extreme storms, droughts, floods and wildfires around the world. Dubai hosted the United Nations’ COP28 climate talks just last year.

Abu Dhabi’s state-linked newspaper The National in an editorial Thursday described the heavy rains as a warning to countries in the wider Persian Gulf region to “climate-proof their futures.”

“The scale of this task is more daunting than it appears even at first glance, because such changes involve changing the urban environment of a region that for as long as it has been inhabited, has experienced little but heat and sand,” the newspaper said.
