Many people will immediately have the notion that the Middle East is the center of war; hence, is not a good place to travel to. The people who say this will be missing a lot. Your travel can be highly rewarding if you plan carefully and avoid the danger zones.
A region that occupies Northwest Asia and Egypt, the Middle East boasts of diverse cultures, religion and not to mention: a wealth of history. However, do not think that the Middle East offers nothing but the ancient; there are also key cosmopolitan cities that you can visit.
It is important to understand the issuance of visas and entry requirements to certain countries. Dubai is a fast-developing part of the United Arab Emirates; its small size and the vast cultures residing there can be a good entry point if you want to travel in the Middle East. Beirut and Tehran are two alternatives if you want to experience metropolitan living. As for touring history, Jerusalem and Mecca are two cities that are highly revered for being the origin of Christianity and Islam. Damascus is the oldest, still inhabited city in the world.
Another site to visit is the Dead Sea. Palmyra, Persepolis and Petra are also highlights. A region rich in history and extremes, the Middle East is indeed an adventurous place for travelers.
