MIDDLE EAST DESTINATIONS
THE MIDDLE EAST TRAVEL GUIDE
The Middle East is made up of 16 countries, including United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Turkey and Jordan. It’s a transcontinental region, the main continent being Asia. With a difficult past (or even present) many people are wary to travel here.
Although certain countries may not be advisable, there is plenty that are and should absolutely be visited by tourists. The cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi are out of this world and playgrounds for the rich and famous. If you’re looking for luxury travel- look no further. There’s also a huge expat community here.
The modern cities offer stunning buildings with pretty unique architecture. But that’s not all you will find. Ancient civilisations, welcoming locals, pyramids and camel riding in the Sahara Desert, cruises along the river Nile- the Middle East is an exciting destination.
