Middle East Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see dubai balloon ride dubai balloon ride samer batter The Middle East is the cradle of civilization. The people who lived in the valley of the Tigris and Eufrates and in the Levant were the first to use the alphabet. The most visited countries in the region are probably Turkey with its palaces and mosques in Istanbul and its beaches on the Mediterranean and Agean coast and Israel with its good tourist infrastructure, the city of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are easy to visit as well. They are compact countries with lots of sights on a small surface and a friendly population. The countries of the Persian Gulf are somewhat less visited. Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have all benefited from the oil boom. Their societies are still pretty conservative though except for Bahrain. Yemen is located at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula. The country is extremely beautiful, travel can be a bit tough, however. Iran has started to open up and is rapidly becoming one of the most interesting detsinations in the regions. Isfahan, Tabriz and Shiraz are all very old cities with beautiful old centres. Iraq is hard to get to and due to the political climate you should ask yourself twice if you really want to. It does have many interesting historical sights, however. ___________Language Edit This Most countries in the Middle East have Arabic as their offical language. Only in Turkey and Iran it is not widely used and understood. So a few words are always handy. For a complete guide see our friends at Travlang.

It is linked to neighboring Saudi Arabia by a causeway and separated by a small strait from Qatar. The population, as in neighbouring Iran, is in large majority Shi'a Muslim. After World War II, Bahrain became the center for British administration of treaty obligations in the lower Persian Gulf. In 1968 when the British Government announced its decision (reaffirmed in March 1971) to end the treaty relationships with the Persian Gulf sheikdoms, Bahrain joined the other eight states (Qatar and the seven Trucial Sheikhdoms which are now called the United Arab Emirates) under British protection in an effort to form a union of Arab emirates. By mid-1971, however, the nine sheikhdoms still had not agreed on terms of union. Accordingly, Bahrain sought independence as a separate entity and became fully independent on August 15 1971 as the State of Bahrain. The capital city and by far the most popular tourist destination is Manama. All other sights can be visited from there. With Manama being the largest city, most of the malls are there. These include Seef Mall, Dana Mall and the Bahrain Mall. North Manama is being transformed with the new Financial Harbor, Bahrain World Trade Centre and a few more skyscapers. The airport is in Al Muharraq. You will probably find that all the main roads leading to and in Muharraq are covered with beautiful trees, fountains and greenery. Before the oil boom, Bahrain's pearls were king. But oil has undoubtedly transformed the landscape and trajectory of this tiny state. Now the traditional humble dwellings of Bahrainis mingle with the cosmopolitan skyscrapers of Manama. Bahrain is an interesting blend of Eastern and Western flavors. Arabic is the official language but English is very widely spoken. In Manama, Western clothing is as commonly seen as traditional Arab dress. There are a wide variety of tourist attractions in Bahrain. History lovers should consider a visit to historic forts such as Bahrain Fort, Barbar Temple, Arad Fort and the Salman bin Ahmed Al Fateh Fort or the Al Khamis Mosque, dating as far back as 629 A.D. Qalat Al Bahrain is a magnificent castle recently designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. To gain a sense of pre-oil Bahrain, visit Siyadi House, built by a 19th century pearl merchant. The Museum of Pearl Diving offers a fascinating look back through local heritage and the Bahrain National Museum will give the visitor a comprehensive look back at Bahrain's rich history. For lovers of sport, do not pass through Bahrain without experiencing local horse racing. Bahrain has a love of equestrianism and it shows. No betting is allowed but the experience is worth the trip to the racetrack. The par 72 Riffa Golf Club offers beautiful scenery of the surrounding wadi (dry river bed). The best shopping in Bahrain is in the souks, where one can buy just about anything. Don't miss the cloth and gold souks in particular, where Bahraini handicraft is showcased. Alcohol is permitted in Bahrain, bars and clubs can be found in Manama, particularly in large Western hotels - Crowne Plaza, Sheraton, Ramada, Intercontinental, to name a few. Flights to Bahrain are frequent and regular from most major cities in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. ::::::::::::Iran Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see yedi goz korpi in Ardabil yedi goz korpi in Ardabil Sina Yavarian Iran has a rich culture and, it remains widely misrepresented and little understood by the general public. Iranians are most friendly people. Forget about what you saw on the news, go and use your own eyes. You will not be disappointed. It is a great country to travel, with efficient public transport, old cities packed with sights, ruins from ancient Persian and Caspian Sea beach resorts. Iran is located in the Middle East, bordering the Gulf of Oman, the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea, between Iraq and Pakistan. Slightly larger than Alaska, it covers the territory in 1.648 million sq km and has a population of 65,619,636 people. The capital of Iran is Tehran and its political and cultural center. It is a big city, but not unpretty. From it you can reach Tabriz in the west, the old capital city with lots of sights and a great bazaar. Iran is a country with great ancient sights, rich culture, splendid cuisine and a very hospitable people. Despite the political winds this is a great country to visit. Iran will be any person’s thrill concerning vacation destinations. All the places visited and people will stay in you mind for a long time. This country is very rich in cultural history, and lacks of tourism as it is wonderful to explore and get astonished by its wonderful landscapes and historical sites. Although the country’s changed since the government policies of Ayatollah Khomeini which keep people living in a different way than before and “some harsh rules” are people daily life, Iranians can be extremely gentle and nice to foreigners, full of interest to hear about foreign things and to know how other countries live. Iran is a country which suffered changes held by Arabs, Mongols, Turkish Ottoman, Portuguese, Dutch, etc, but which will never lose the presence of the ancient Persian Empire and Persian Culture, unique in the whole world. The highlight of this Empire can yet be experience visiting its Capital City Persepolis or Fars near Shiraz . The Southern part of the country in the Persian Gulf is in fact very beautiful and interesting. It's strange how to go down a few thousand miles South the country and find European presence. The Portuguese presence still remaining in street names, local settlements and forgotten defence castles like in Qeshme Island are things very interesting to visit.
