Take an adventure holiday in the MIDDLE EAST with World Expeditions, one of the world’s leading travel companies.

The Middle East - Adventure Travel and Small Group Holidays

The Middle East is a region comprising the lands around the southern and eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea, a territory that extends from the eastern Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf.  The Middle East is mostly thought of as Islamic and  Arabic, but the area encompasses several cultural and ethnic groups, including the Persian, Arabic, Armenian, Assyrian, and Turkish cultures.

The region has spiritual importance to many people around the world. It is the birth place of three major religions; Islam, Judaism and Christianity. More recently it was discovered to be rich in crude oil and it is this asset that has made the Middle East economically and politically important.

World Expeditions offers adventure holidays in Oman, Jordan, Syria and Iran.
