Travelling Guide to Middle East

Middle East

From the United Arab Emirates to Israel, Jordan to Qatar, there are some amazing holiday destinations in the Middle East. You’ll find some of the world’s best desert landscapes here, as well as fantastic coastlines and incredible cities. 

In this region, no two places are the same. You’ll find ancient sites of huge historical and cultural importance as well as the world’s most modern and developed cities. In UAE’s Dubai, you can look up at the towering Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, then gaze out to sea at colossal, man-made islands in the shape of a giant palm tree. Yet step onto the metro and within 10 minutes you’ll find yourself in the Old Town, where market traders sell spices and fabrics from souks, as they’ve done for hundreds of years. 

Israel is a must for cultural explorers, with biblical landmarks including Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jafa. And Tel Aviv is a must for those after a vibrant city break and fantastic beaches. 

Jordan offers similar opportunities. Start your trip in the cosmopolitan city of Amman, before embarking on a tour of the desert by camel. Witness the Wadi Rum at sunset, hike the Jordan Trail, or discover wonders of Petra, an archeological gem dating back to 300 BC. 

For family fun, head to Abu Dhabi, Doha and Dubai which boast theme parks, aquariums, gardens, shopping malls and restaurants to rival any city in the world. 

Our destination guides cover all these places and more. So whether you're looking for luxury resorts, budget bedouins, or anything in between, you’ll find that all roads lead East.
