You had better take some real good advice before visiting the Middle East. The area has some stable countries but it is not considered safe by normal travel standards. With recent conflicts still happening and Revolutions taking place the area again is a hot zone, Libya though in Africa is the latest unstable country and will be unsafe for a long time. We hope that Iraq can one day say hello to a democratic way of life, and that Afghanistan can be known for something other than exporting terrorism.
There are safer destinations like OMAN and the UAE. Dubai has one of the more built up strip of dessert meets ocean sands in the world. You can compare the best hotels in Dubai with our hotel comparison page here Compare Hotels in Dubai.
