Plan Your Next Holidays to these Wonderful Middle East Destinations

The Middle East is a wonderful destination because of its stunning mountain ranges, natural beauty, warm oceans, and some of the world's oldest history. There is something for everyone in these locations, from tombs to temples, from the Dead Sea to verdant mountaintops to the tallest buildings in the world.

This article will show you why this region is an under-appreciated destination for tourists around the world.

From one side, you can find sustainable destinations that encourage responsible travel in some of the most stunning locations in the Middle East. This is one of the segments of the tourism business that is expanding the quickest globally and the Arabic world is putting great efforts into it.

But also, you’ll meet a region that’s becoming each time more open to forms of entertainment that we’re used to in the occidental world. From sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup to a growing nightlife in many of the cities on this list. 

Jordan

The spectacular ruins in Petra, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, will leave you speechless. Swim in the warm waters of Aqaba, snorkel in the Dead Sea or unwind in the hot springs that are found under waterfalls. Most Jordanians speak English, which will help you feel even more at home in this great nation.

Plus, the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature now protects ten natural reserves, and each of them has a 100% local employment strategy that aids local families. Two of these natural reserves, the Ajloun Forest Reserve and the Dibbeen Forest Reserve, are located not far from Amman, the capital of Jordan.

United Arab Emirates

It shouldn't be a surprise that Dubai made this list given its wealth, technology, and high level of security. Don't miss the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, which stands at 828 meters and has 160 stories if you want to experience contemporary Dubai. If you need to go shopping first, the Dubai Mall is where you can access the Dubai Dancing Fountain, which will astound you with its nightly spectacle.

Masdar City is the outcome of a planned initiative supported primarily by the Abu Dhabi government and is the first eco-city in the world. Masdar City, which was established in 2006, contains a variety of stores, eateries, lodging options, and public open areas. It was created to be a sustainable urban community. The city gets 100% of its energy from renewable sources and reduces its water consumption by using treated wastewater for irrigation and wastewater recycling.

Israel

Jerusalem, one of the most significant locations for Christians, Muslims, and Jews, has successfully fused tradition and culture with a city fit for the twenty-first century. Here, one can spend days exploring the historic center's countless churches, mosques, and synagogues while simultaneously taking in the city's magnificent festival and its contemporary way of life.

We advise traveling to places like Galilee, a mountainous region in the north known for its wine, national parks, and holy sites for both Jews and Christians. Spend some time discovering Nazareth. This city is full of great things to discover, from old spas to neighborhood markets.

Egypt

What can we say that hasn’t been said about one of the most important touristic destinations of the Middle East?

When traveling on your own without a tour guide, we advise visiting places like Luxor and Aswan. But if you’re planning to see the famous Giza Pyramids we recommend you cruising the Nile with a guide.

Luxor, which is located on the banks of the Nile River and is bordered by both mango trees and desert, is home to what is referred to as the world's largest open-air museum. The most well-known pharaohs and kings, notably Tutankhamun, originated from this region, and all of the temples are in excellent condition or have been flawlessly restored.

Luxor is a must-see destination because of its extremely epic and enormous tombs and enormous temples, all of which were constructed between 5,000 and 3,000 years ago.
