The Middle East holds a thousand mysteries – and travellers are slowly but surely uncovering them. Those that go discover the thrill of snorkelling in the Red Sea, the challenge of haggling in souks and bazaars, and the guilty pleasure of eating Lebanon’s almond pasties. Mountains and sand dunes make for excellent sporting opportunities for active travellers to the middle east, while the beaches are ideal sunbathing spots. You might consider the people themselves to be an attraction, too – warm, friendly and proud of their lands, they’ll make your stay all the more enjoyable.
