Middle East

Do you want to travel to the Middle East? Tucked between Europe and Central Asia, the Middle East is home to fascinating cultures and rich traditions that always manage to bedazzle its visitors.

Obstreperous and charming, Middle Eastern countries evoke a confusion of conflicting clichés, mystery and light, poetry and pragmatism, luxury and frugality.

We love traveling to the Middle East, especially to Iran, which is one of our very favorite destinations.

We have extensively covered Iran travel subjects and more are to come, along with more trips to the beautiful Land of Persia.

Our trips to the Middle East covered also Lebanon, its long history and complicated social fabric, and the UAE, where opulence is widespread.
