Africa &
the middle east
“If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa,” John Hemingway once wrote. True to this sentiment, Africa and the extended Middle East region represent a vast and varied landscape of deserts, deltas, medinas, and savannas. For travelers with curiosity and patience, it offers some of the richest, most grounding travel experiences on earth.
The focus here is on truly untapped travel experiences – not necessarily an entry-point to international travel for most tourists. From the ancient streets of Algiers to the intense heat of the Sahara, and the surprisingly lively nightlife of Manama to the reverent history of the Dead Sea, both Africa and the Middle East are places to travel through deeply—not just layover touchpoints.
Whether you’re wandering the ruins of Carthage in Tunisia, or digging up scorpions in the Okavango Delta, getting the most out of travel throughout Africa and the Middle East will require patience, religious tolerance, and an appreciation of – and interest in – both history and the natural world.
