Middle East

Explore the Middle East: a land of ancient wonders, vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. Discover bustling markets, historic landmarks, pristine beaches, and the timeless beauty of desert adventures.

Enveloped by the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, these mystical lands encompass the astounding Arabian Peninsula, a cradle of civilisations, from its cobbled chaos of old Roman roads to the intricately carved temples of Petra.

Pearl fishing villages and the Bedouin culture have been turned into futuristic cities teeming with mega-malls, mosques and glittering high-rises. The emirate of Dubai is now home to the tallest building in the world as well as winding souks, golden beaches, and family water parks, while neighbouring Abu Dhabi has its own Louvre art museum and the fun-filled Ferrari World. A quieter pace of life can be found in the pretty harbour city of Muscat, while the Jordanian city of Aqaba is the gateway to ancient Petra and the red sandstone valleys of Wadi Rum.
