The birthplace of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, the Middle East has more than earned its right to the claim of being the cradle of civilisation, and even now it continues to grow, change, and outpace the rest of the world. Whether you are drawn to the luxury high-rise life of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or intrigued by the pyramids of Giza, entranced by the mysteries of Petra, or stunned by the vast expanse of Wadi Rum, the Middle East has enough treasures to keep even the most demanding of visitors coming back for more.
