History and Culture
The Middle East has an interesting amalgam of traditions, cuisine, languages, and cultures. The region has also birthed several civilisations throughout history, as well as some of the important religions and way of life that we’re practising today. The Middle East is argued to be the cradle of three of the world’s major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These monotheistic religions all consider Jerusalem as a holy place with great religious significance. Engage with the Bedouin people, a semi-nomadic group of desert-dwellers, in Wadi Rum. This protected desert boasts an expansive landscape of enormous sandstone cliffs, magnificent rock formations, and endless red sand valley – combining nature and culture in one enchanting setting.
