Middle East

The "cradle of civilization" embraces the ancient and the modern: Roman ruins and Biblical sites, trendy city nightlife and the world's tallest tower. The moon shimmers over the silent desert where Bedouin ride their camels over rippling sand. Oasis resorts lure SCUBA divers and sun-worshippers, while the blue azure waters of the Mediterranean beckon the boating set.
