While skeptical travellers have held back from visiting the region in recent years, 2018 has marked a resurgence of travel; and for good reason! Despite ongoing conflict in some areas which gives the region as a whole a bad rap, many parts are completely safe for travel. If you take some time to do your due diligence and take reasonable precaution (as you would travelling anywhere else), there shouldn\u2019t be anything holding you back from exploring this beautiful, complex, and diverse land. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Middle East is rich in history, culture, and unmatched glorious landscapes from the mighty <a href=\"\/v\/region-sahara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sahara desert<\/a> to the mesmerizing natural splendour of the Dead Sea &#8211; the lowest place on earth.

One of the most notable memories travellers take home is the warmth and kindness of the Jordanian people. The country is attracting avid adventurers who are keen on canyoning, diving, ATVing, caravaning via camel, and hitting the Jordan Trail \u2014 trekking through villages and desert landscapes, with stops at Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and the ancient Nabataean city of Petra. There is plenty to be seen for the history buff, including Crusader castles, Roman amphitheatres, and the walk through Petra\u2019s Siq to the Treasury &#8211; without a doubt the most stunning sight in the region. If you\u2019re looking for some serenity, you\u2019ll find it in Jordan, with only a fraction of the number of tourists here compared to neighbouring Egypt and Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/jordan-vs-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordan vs Egypt: Which One Will You Visit?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15988\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15988\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-15988 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast4-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A series of vehicles driving towards a moutain in Wadi Rum, Jordan\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast4-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast4-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast4-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast4-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are plenty of adventures to be had in Jordan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"Oman\"><strong>Oman<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/d\/oman\" rel=\"noopener\">Oman<\/a> entered the tourism scene later than some of its Middle Eastern counterparts, beginning in the 1980s. Oman\u2019s capital Muscat is much more low key when compared to some of the glitz and glam of the neighbouring UAE. If you\u2019re looking to get off the beaten track and fully immerse yourself in the Arab Kingdom, Oman is the place for you. The country\u2019s infrastructure is well-developed, and you can find high-end hotels if that\u2019s your jam. Take a journey through Oman\u2019s whimsical trading and fishing villages and marvel at the country\u2019s exotic natural wonders, including breathtaking Fjords, rocky, barren mountains, rolling sand dunes, and beautiful coastlines.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15987\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15987\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-15987 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast3-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The city of Muscat in Oman\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast3-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast3-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast3-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast3-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoy views like this in Oman&#8217;s capital city, Muscat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"Qatar\"><strong>Qatar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most up-and-coming Middle Eastern Countries, Qatar is another destination that is moving forward in sophistication and modernity while staying true to its rich culture. Qatar boasts incredible skylines, coastlines, and sand dunes, a bustling culinary and art scene, and old-world hospitality that can\u2019t be beaten. A trip to the world-class capital of Doha is not complete without checking out the Museum of Islamic Art, built on its own island. There\u2019s no better way to experience the lavish sand dunes of Qatar than a dune bashing outing for either a day trip or an overnight adventure under the stars. The Doha Corniche promenade is a great place to take in the city\u2019s skyline, or better yet, hop on a dhow for an unobstructed view of the magical skyline. For soccer fanatics, mark your calendar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will be held at Doha\u2019s Khalifa International Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15985\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15985\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-15985 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast1-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The view of Doha from the Museum of Islamic Art at sunset\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast1-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast1-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast1-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MiddleEast1-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15985\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Museum of Islamic Art in Doha is a must-see in Qatar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"The United Arab Emirates\"><strong>The United Arab Emirates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/d\/united-arab-emirates\" rel=\"noopener\">The UAE<\/a> is a gorgeous, oil-rich region situated on the eastern side of the Sinai Peninsula and bordering the Persian Gulf.

However, many don&#8217;t know that the remaining six lesser-known Emirates also have a lot to offer visitors. The capital Abu Dhabi is a hot spot for leisure and sports and is well known for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Ferrari World theme park. For epic outdoor adventures and watersports in crystal clear waters, make your way to Jumeirah.

Kuwait City is a bustling metropolis with elaborate architecture and skyscrapers, including the Kuwait Towers, luxury hotels, and outstanding museums. Kuwait is also home to a dynamic culinary and restaurant scene. Check out the Souq Marbarakia\u2019s extensive food halls and nibble on plump dates and olives. Don\u2019t forget the awe-inspiring desert plains and the white sand beaches that attract beachgoers in droves.

When in public it is advisable to have shoulders and knees covered, and tight or revealing clothing should be avoided. Full-length robes and headscarves are not necessary for non-Muslims. Muslims fast during Ramadan, and therefore eating and drinking in public should be avoided during that time. It\u2019s best to check the social norms for the particular country you plan to visit as customs vary from region to region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exploring the Middle East is an adventure that too many people pass up: are you ready to discover it for yourself?
