Emirates airlines sells flights - Emirates Holidays sells packages. I took a package trip to Morocco back in 2005 and it was great. In reality the tour element is offered by lots of tour operators and then onsold to airlines. So if you purchased it through Emirates Holidays, Qatar Airways Holidays, or you bought the flights and tour seperately, you will most likely be on the same trip.
Doing it yourself is great if you are going to a single city, or perhaps a few. But when you are going somewhere historic and you will be travelling around a fair bit, the tour is a great idea. You don't have to worry about flights, accomodation, looking for most meals each day, and you get taken straight to the sites of interest (no standing on street corners with guide books and maps!) and you also get guides once inside.
There are a few good tour sites you could look at too - try www.intrepidtravel.com for some inspiration. Even if you don't take their trips you could still benefit from seeing the itineraries they use, and then tailoring them to suit you.
