The Middle East

The birthplace of 3 major world religions - the Middle East is a bubbling hot, hot stew that will feed your hunger for months! Arabia's Empty Quarter, a huge expanse of desert, awaits. Then there are the gorgeous hidden Nabatean ruins at Petra, in Jordan, or the Krak des Chevaliers castle in Syria. Israel can provide the archaeologic splendors of Jerusalem, or the latest clubs and stores in Tel Aviv; the ruins of Masada, or the tourist haven of Eilat, where you only have to look underwater to see a whole new world...
