Ancient & wondrous Middle East

Fall in love with the Middle East for its untouched beauty, ancient history and surprisingly good beaches. The Middle East is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination for the more curious traveller. Granted, it has bred its fair share of scepticism, but what awaits, is an experience that will truly surprise you with its striking landscapes and ancient mysticism, not to mention a climate that rivals its more popular Mediterranean counterparts.

Jordan offers a tour of historical gems and archaeological sites, from the hidden city of Petra – one of the seven wonders of the world - to Bethany – the baptismal site of Jesus Christ. Israel, also, has more than its fair share of biblical references, alongside Mediterranean beach resorts in Tel Aviv and some amazing off-road experiences in the arid plains of the Negev desert. Cool off with a dip in the Dead Sea, where you can float on this iconic salt-lake.
