An introduction to Middle East
The expression "Middle East" was created by the US in the 1920s and its definition and its boundaries are still contested. Thus it's not simply a geographic term, but also a political one. Not every country in this arid region is Arabic, and most of the world's Islamic population is situated outside the region.
As the birthplace of the world's three great monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and the focus of much economic and political importance the Middle East is a popular destination for travellers.
With many countries enjoying great wealth from their oil reserves, the Middle East offers the traveller places of unrivalled splendour and luxury with the most spectacular hotels and cities anywhere on the globe. A more traditional experience could include trekking with the Bedouin, climbing holy mountains, snorkelling coral gardens or wandering in the footsteps of the Pharoahs.
