Sunny vacations
Middle East
In the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates include Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the kingdoms of Oman, Jordan and Qatar, are mainly the attractions for tourists. Few regions can measure themselves with the collection of historical sites, beautiful sun-bathing resorts, nice climate, modern design and architecture with “a thousand and one night” charm.
The Middle East counts as the dividing point between Europe, Asia and Africa. Ancient history and the birthplace of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is the mix and contrast of the old and modern that fascinates. The more you see and hear – the more you want to discover. And if sun and bath are the your goal, there are a lot of seaside resorts with miles long beaches. Luxury hotels are available in lots.
The Middle East – center of historical events
Historical sites such as the carved city of Petra in Jordan, one of seven wonders, is one of the must-visit places in the Middle East. Experience Petra up close by walking through the city. Dubai is considered a bath and resort number one and rightly so – beautiful and long beaches and a climate that for us in the north makes it possible to extend spring and summer with a few months. Eat well, shop at malls and spend the night in the desert. The contrasts are many and unforgettable.
