IRAN
Iran is an exciting country of enormous contrasts, surrounded by mountains on three sides and almost entirely unspoilt by tourism.

JORDAN
One of the very early centres of civilisation, with permanent settlements dating back over 6500 years, this ancient country reveals its link to the past through some amazing sites.

LEBANON & SYRIA
Thanks to their position at the heart of the Middle East, both these countries share a fascinating and ancient history and rich cultural heritage.

TURKEY
Turkey is a land of exceptional variety, lying between Asia, East and West, which has witnessed the development of some of the world's greatest civilisations.

OMAN
Oman was long closed off to the outside world and as a result is shrouded in myth and mystery.

YEMEN
Yemen is one of the oldest centres of civilisation in the world but remains one of the undiscovered pearls of the Arabian peninsular.
