About Middle East

Encapsulating just some of Earth's most mysterious ruins, unique geographical wonders and modern marvels, the Middle East is hypnotically diverse and endlessly captivating.

United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates is a mixture of ancient traditions and gleaming modern architecture in a wonderful climate. Dubai, nicknamed the ‘Vegas of the Middle East, is famed for its opulent hotels, glitzy nightlife and gold souks; Abu Dhabi boasts ancient forts and palaces, while the dramatic desert landscapes offer 4WD trips over the dunes. 

Jordan
Jordan is a kingdom of great antiquity. Amman blends a rich Arabic past with a shimmering future, while outside the city, undulating sand dunes cascade into lush palm-filled oases. Nothing can prepare you for the magic of Petra’s ochre-coloured temples and mysterious hidden valleys, or the Dead Sea’s rejuvenating mineral waters.
 
Oman
The tranquil state of Oman is an untainted Middle Eastern gem. Muscat, its harbour city, has a fascinating maze of souks and Portuguese forts. Flanking the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf, Oman boasts superb snorkelling and diving, dolphin and whale spotting, beautiful desert oases and white sand beaches.

Israel
A land with more than its fair share of trouble and strife, Israel is a country that conjures up strong opinions, emotions and preconceptions. The home of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, the country has a fascinating mix of architecture and artefacts from all three religions as well as numerous Roman remains to satisfy the most dedicated historian.  But there is more to Israel than just religious and historical monuments. Many people visit the country for its fantastic beaches and excellent weather in resorts such as Eilat on the Red Sea or its Mediterranean coast, and for those who like to float without needing to tread water, the Dead Sea is a haven for relaxation and health cures.

Turkey (Istanbul)
With three and a half thousand years of history there's no shortage of attractions and, as the only city on earth that straddles two continents, a visit to Istanbul is truly a unique experience.

Formerly known as Byzantium and later Constantinople, over a period of 1600 years the city was capital to the East Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires - all of which left their indelible mark.  Days spent wandering the narrow passages of the Grand Bazaar and wondering at breathtaking Byzantine cathedrals and sumptuous Ottoman palaces can be rounded off in any one of hundreds of excellent restaurants, cafés, and bars in the city's old European quarter of Beyoglu.
