Middle East & Africa Travel Tips

Middle East & Africa

Africa and the Middle East are about the romance of adventure and countless other impressions, for within their seemingly boundless confines you'll experience pretty much everything.

At first try a gentle landing, whether it be Egypt of the pharoahs and the five-star Nile cruisers; exhilarating, post-apartheid South Africa and its sexy, sophisticated showpiece city of Cape Town; or solidly modern Namibia, where traditional cultures and mod cons make a marvelous mix. In the Middle East, there's nowhere quite as spectacular as Dubai, a pleasure palace in the desert.
