Middle East

The Middle East is full of history and culture and is an interesting region to visit for a travel enthusiast. Widely reputed as the cradle of civilizations, it is home to such timeless landmarks as Egypt’s Pyramids, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan and the awe-inspiring Burj Khalifa in Dubai. With varied terrain including sand dunes of Arabia and mountains in Lebanon, Middle East offers a wide array of experiences to the visitors. With more than 400 million people, the area has modern cities, with ancient traditional sites, in a fascinating contrast of old and new.

For thrill-seekers, the Middle East has few parallels in terms of opportunities for diving in the Dead Sea in Jordan, enjoying a day on the ski slopes in Lebanon’s mountains or sailing across the Gulf’s lively cities. Deeply rooted in tradition and hospitality, the Middle East is also renowned for its hospitality, turning every visit into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The region is evolving amidst increasing tourism, yet what it has to offer remains ancient in its essence.
