The most surprising places to visit in the Middle East Flight of Fancy

    • Places & Travel

It's one of the most misunderstood regions in the world. Some watch the news and decide that the Middle East is not a place they’d ever want to visit. But those of us who are enchanted by ancient cultures, of the Pharaohs and Pyramids in Egypt, of Petra and the Nabateans in Jordan, the colour and flavours of the souks and the still beauty and silence of the desert, will find the Middle East the most fascinating of places. Guest host Ute Junker talks to Traveller writers Sue Williams and Keith Austin on what it’s like to travel to the Middle East, where to go and the things that shocked and surprised them.
