Middle East: Did you know?
A total of twenty countries make up the Middle East. These include Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (which itself is a federation of seven states).
Many countries in the Middle East have strong cultural and religious rules so make sure you do your research before visiting them as causing offence, however accidental it may be, can have serious repercussions. Some countries are also in situations that make travel unadvisable unless absolutely necessary. So check with the Foreign Office as well before making travel arrangements.
Sights in the Middle East include the Pyramids of Egypt, the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world) in Dubai, the Souq Waqif in Doha and the Dana Nature Reserve in Jordan.
