From the dramatic Atlas Mountains to the majestic Nile and the unique Dead Sea, the landscapes here are like nothing you’ll experience anywhere else in the world. The people are some of the most hospitable on the planet, and the ruins and relics you encounter are their heritage. They come from the land of the Pharaohs; their culture is displayed in the delicate carvings of Petra; they embody the charm of a traditional bazaar and colour of a market square.
