Introduction
Africa and the Middle East have either produced or hosted many of the world's greatest
civilisations, resulting in a rich legacy of ancient monuments, from the Nabataeun city
of Petra to the pyramids, temples and tombs of Egypt.
In addition, the region contains spectacular wildlife and dramatic landscapes, from the Sahara to the Serengeti. You can snorkel and dive among the dazzling coral reefs of the Red Sea; descend into the inner chambers of the Pyramid of Cheops, focus on a pride of lions in the Okavango Delta, go beachcombing for seashells in the Seychelles, or wander through the perfumed Kasbahs of Marrakesh.
