The Middle East

The Middle East is simply remarkable, one of the world's most mesmerizing and satisfying travel destinations. It was here that some of the most significant civilizations of ancient times rose and fell and where the three great monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam were born. Left behind is an amazing open-air museum of ancient cities and historic buildings, the stones of which still resonate with the sounds of the faithful.
The Middle East is home to some of the world's most significant cities Jerusalem, Cairo, Damascus, Baghdad and İstanbul. The ruins of the once similarly epic cities of history, Petra, Persepolis, Ephesus, Palmyra, Baalbek, Leptis Magna and the bounty of ancient Egypt also mark the passage of centuries in a region where the ancient world lives and breathes.
The landscapes of the region are equally mesmerizing, from the unrivaled seas of sand dunes and palm-fringed lakes in Libya's Sahara desert to the stunning mountains of the north and the underwater world of the Red Sea.
