Welcome to the Travii.com, tourism and vacations guide for Middle East. The Middle East lies where Africa, Asia and Europe meet and all the countries that make up this large area are in fact all part of Asia. The Middle East is the spiritual birthplace of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and has therefore been a sensitive area of world affairs during the 20th century.

Among the most common destinations for those traveling to the Middle East include Cyprus, Bahrain, Israel, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates, which encompasses the up-and-coming destination for business development and tourism - Dubai. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the smallest regions of the Middle East but is fast becoming one of the more popular travel destinations because of its months of sun and varied and dramatic landscape. The United Arab Emirates is situated on the Far East coast of the Middle East

Those traveling on a budget can also take advantage of what the UAE has to offer as there are a number of cheaper hotels. The UAE also has the most relaxed entry regulations of all the Gulf countries, as well as some of the best tourist infrastructure in the world. If it is culture and history that you are after then Israel offers an ideal retreat for travelers. The climate in the Middle-East is generally hot and dry, although winters can often be slightly milder with small amounts of rain in some areas. The exception is in the mountainous areas of northern Iraq and Iran and in eastern Turkey where winter conditions can be extremely severe.
