Middle East
Situated at the confluence of the Old World's three continents, the Middle East is a unique repository of cultural, religious, and historic treasures. It was here that the three great monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - were born, and you can still find ancient temples carrying a fascinating spiritual heritage.
You can taste the multicultural flavor of Turkey, with its spectacular coastline and the urban metropolis of Istanbul, trek along the deserts of Iran or hike and ski in the mountains of Uzbekistan, all while enjoying one of the spiciest and most intriguing cuisines around the globe.
