Travel To THE MIDDLE EAST: WHERE TO START?
Most people from the United States, Britain, and Canadian citizens can enter the countries visa-free.
However, you might want to double-check for countries like Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and more. Acquiring a visa for the Middle East isn’t particularly hard. Although, some countries like Saudi Arabia are harder to visit.
All you need is to visit the embassy in your country for each particular country and get a visa by paying a certain fee- It is quite the same as getting a Russian Tourist Visa or any other visa around the world.
The only difference is that you will need to do it for multiple countries. Some airlines and travel agencies will also fill you in on the visa requirements. If you are at a website like Spice Jet Booking, you will probably read about the visa requirements beforehand.
BACKPACKING MIDDLE EAST: YOUR ITINERARY
There are many countries in the Middle East, and a month of backpacking will not cover all of them.
The best thing to do is choose a route and pick the countries you want to visit the most.
Here are some of the most popular routes and countries you may wish to visit.
TURKEY-LEBANON-JORDAN
These countries are very close to each other, and it makes sense to visit them when you decide to go backpacking through the Middle East. They offer a wide selection of opportunities, sights, sounds, experiences, and diversity. Flying between these countries is very cheap.
Turkey alone is a pretty diverse destination to explore. You can visit cities like Oman, and Istanbul, or you can walk through the mountains in Cappadocia, the Mediterranean coast, and many more. Overall, I prefer Istanbul to Oman. But if you’re already in the country then why not visit both.
10 days in Turkey will not be enough to whole experience what the entire country has to offer. Lebanon and Jordan are the same. The adventures of these three countries are very unique, and you should definitely include them in your route. In those countries alone you have places like Wadi Rum.
You might want to add Israel to this trip if you have a couple of extra days and money to spare. If you are a religious buff, Israel is home to the Holy Land or Jerusalem-If you know the New Testament, you probably know the story.
Egypt – Jordan – Israel
Egypt, the land of the Nile, of the Pyramids of Giza, and ruins. There’s so much to see in the country that you can easily spend a month exploring it. But a few of my favorite sites in the middle east are in Jordan, those being Petra, Wadi Rum, and the dead sea. I’ll never forget jumping in a pool after floating in the dead sea for a half hour. You feel so heavy in the water.
There are tours that cover both Egypt and Jordan, some of these tours even include sailing down the Nile. I spent three days on the Nile and loved every second of it.
Both Egypt and Jordan are part of North Africa are easy to travel between. There is also an Israeli border from Jordan making it easy to get between the countries. Besides the history and ruins, my three favorite adventures in the Middle East were sailing down the Nile, Camping with Nomads in Wadi Rum, and
The sprawling desert of Wadi Rum is reason enough to visit. Wadi Rum is pure, sandy beauty. Contact a tour operator book a tour spending the nights with nomads that still wander the pristine desert of Wadi Rum.
These countries are great for solo traveler and are also close together. But if you feel nervous, then there is no harm in booking with a tour operator.
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Another popular country to visit in the United Arab Emirates. This middle eastern country is unlike anywhere else in the region. Wealth has rocked places like Dubai and turned them into cities of the future. Literally, Dubai feels like it doesn’t belong in this time period. Futuristic skyscrapers fill the city, home of the best airline, Emirate, and has the tallest building in the world. On your Middle East Vacation to the United Arab Emirates, you can also stop by the capital of Abu Dhabi. I haven’t spent much time in Abu Dhabi, but have heard it’s worth visiting. If you had to choose between the two I would go with Dubai.
Middle East Travel is hectic but wonderful. And group or a solo traveler should take time to plan. Planning across different countries can be very exciting, but it is best to read up and know what to do before visiting unknown territories to be extra safe!
