Middle East - The Cradle Of Civilization

The Middle East is a world region that bridges two continents, stretching across south western Asia and North Africa. As one of the wellsprings of human civilisation in the ancient and medieval worlds, the birthplace of at least three world religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and the focus of much modern economic and political importance, the Middle East remains a popular destination for travellers.
Bahrain - Bahrain is an archipelago in the Persian Gulf, east of Saudi Arabia.
Egypt- The home of the ancient Egyptian civilization, with its temples, hieroglyphs, mummies, and - visible above all - its pyramids. Egypt stimulates the imagination of western tourists like few other countries and is probably one of the most popular tourist destinations world-wide.
Iran - A country in Asia. Located in the Middle East, between the Gulf of Oman, the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea, it is surrounded by Iraq to the west, Turkey, Azerbaijan's Naxcivan enclave, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the northwest, Turkmenistan to the northeast, Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east.
Iraq - A country in the Middle East. It lies at the north end of the Persian Gulf and has a small (58 km) coastline in the southeast of the country. It is surrounded by Iran to the east, Kuwait to the south, Saudi Arabia to the southwest, Jordan to the west, Syria to the northwest, and Turkey to the north.
Israel - The country has beautiful old cities, good beaches and plenty of culture, history and holy places... and really good food. The best time to visit Israel is March-June or October-November, although climate shouldn't be a major consideration in choosing a time to visit. More...
Jordan - One of the most exciting countries to visit in the Middle East. It is a safe country for travelers, it has incredible sights, the people are friendly and the sun always shines. Do you need more reasons? More...
Kuwait - This Middle East country is located at the head of the Persian Gulf, with Iraq north and west and Saudi Arabia to the southwest. More

Oman - Since the discovery of massive oil deposits, Oman has seen spectacular economic growth and modernization. The country has kept faithful to its Islamic traditions, however. More...
Qatar - A small peninsula in the Persian Gulf. It looks like a big thumb 'way up'. The country is small but offers quite a few interesting things to the visitors. Doha, the capital is a nice town with good beaches nearby and lively markets. More...
Sudan - Sudan is in Africa. Getting a visa for Sudan is an expensive hit-and-miss affair, but if you do manage to get in, and you stick to the safe areas, you will probably have a fantastic experience. History

History of Syria
Turkey - Istanbul is Turkey's prime attraction, however; it has the most beautiful mosques and palaces of the country, it has Byzantine churches and Roman temples. Without fear of exageration one can say that Istanbul's claim to the title of Eternal city is as justified as Rome's. More
The United Arab Emirates - A federation of seven emirates on the eastern side of the Arabian peninsula, at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. It has coastlines on the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, with Saudi Arabia to the west and southwest, and Oman to the southeast and also on the eastern tip of the Musandam Peninsula as well as an Omani enclave within its borders. It is a country rich in history and culture and an easy starting point for travels in the Middle East.
