Explore desert dunes and ancient ruins

The Middle East is where human history put down its deepest roots: the birthplace of the world's great religions, the route of the Silk Road, the site of Petra, the rose-red city carved into the cliffs. A region of fascinating contrasts between ancient traditions and dizzying modernity. Wander the Nabataean tombs of Petra, float in the Dead Sea, balloon over Cappadocia at sunrise, explore Istanbul suspended between Europe and Asia, discover Oman's turquoise wadis and Bedouin hospitality. Every country tells a different chapter of the same extraordinary story. Ideal for history lovers, admirers of ancient cultures, spiritual travellers and anyone looking for a different kind of Asia. Let the Levant surprise you.
