By Graham McKenzie

In Europe, Middle East has a mixed repute. It is known as land of wealth and oil, and at the same time also has many troubles in the continent. The Middle East includes countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Lebanon, Yemen, Jordan, and Syria.

The region identified as the Greater Middle East consists countries like Algeria, and Afghanistan. The region identified as the Horn of Africa consists countries like Sudan, Eritrea, and Somalia. With no uncertainty, there are dramatic lands full of traditions for the travellers from Europe, though it is important to be little careful and conduct your research before going for safety concerns. As long as you move with a trustworthy tour organizer, you must have a secure tour.

Number of flights to your desire destination is depend upon the destination which you have choice. Take an example of Dubai; it is a very well known city of Middle East for Brits so you will find competition between Airlines to provide better services in lower rates. Other places yet, such as Iran maybe have restricted number of flights and it isn?t suggested that you trip to this place without a good tour organizer. Virgin, Qatar Airlines, KLM, Continental, and Emirates are the chief airlines which operates their flights to different locations of the Middle East.

Remember that these countries are Islamic countries, so this means that you will need to observe certain social rules; for example you should keep legs and shoulders covered when outdoors although there are various different rules depending on the country you visit. Dubai for example is comfortable with Western tourist, but somewhere like Iran will be stricter. You will need to check the current security levels before travelling as a British passport may not always be suitable for entry into all of the countries.

The Middle East climate is a very hot and has many deserts. Some parts of the area face droughts, however there are some productive areas, with forests and lush greenery, based on your time of visit. In the summer months, the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius; carrying a sun protection becomes very essential, also you may have to face a grimy type of humidity.

The Middle East area is has much to explore; Jordan is one among the modern cities of Middle East. Tourists will find abundant architecture and food like kebabs, and national dishes, which may be well-known by the European tourist.

In Dubai there are plenty of shops and beaches; there are also pubs and bars for people to enjoy due to the more relaxed drinking laws, although as an Islamic country, there are still prayer times throughout the day. Dubai also has many art galleries with Arabic artefacts, so you can escape from the beaches if you want!

The city of Israel on the other hand, has several churches and the bible lands, to explore; here you will also find popular attractions which include The Tower of David Museum, Baha?I Shrine, Rockefeller Archaeological Museum, Yad Vashem, and the Gardens in Haifa. You may also try out the regional cuisine of Israel, the bagels, pickles, and kebabs. - 24585
