Sponsor this region

Almost everything here is cultural: walled cities, caravan towns, temples and tombs, from Petra and the pyramid fields at Giza to the old cities of Damascus and Sana'a. Wadi Rum and the Socotra archipelago are among the few natural places. Several sites are on the List in Danger because of conflict, so check what is currently open before you plan a visit, and expect the heat from late spring to early autumn.
