About the Middle East
A journey through time
The Middle East is the bridge between Asia, Africa, and Europe. Here, the great monotheistic religions were born and legendary civilizations flourished. You’ll encounter enchanting contrasts: marble mosques and skyscrapers that touch the clouds, spice-scented bazaars and luxury resorts on golden beaches, red canyons and lush oases. It’s a place where history becomes a lived story, and modern comfort makes the journey effortless.
Reasons why it’s worth visiting
Unique heritage
Hundreds of UNESCO sites and ancient landmarks: from the Pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings to the Nabatean city of Petra and biblical fortresses. History is experienced step by step, with guides who bring the ruins to life through storytelling.
Varied landscapes
Golden deserts, cool mountains, emerald-water wadis, coral reefs, and the Dead Sea. In a single trip, you can combine trekking, snorkeling, and nights under a star-filled sky.
Friendly climate
Mild winters and transitional seasons are perfect for sunny getaways. Spring and autumn offer ideal temperatures for cultural visits, while summer is great for the Mediterranean coast and mountain regions.
Authentic hospitality
Locals welcome you with tea, smiles, and a genuine desire to share their traditions. The respect for guests can be felt in markets, Bedouin villages, and big cities alike.
Flavorful cuisine
Aromatic mezze, creamy hummus, crispy falafel, charcoal-grilled shawarma and kebab, and desserts like baklava and kunafa. Culinary tours through the souks reveal spices and recipes passed down through generations.
Experiences for every travel style
Beach resort relaxation, desert adventure, spirituality in sacred places, Nile cruises, or vibrant city breaks—Pro Travel blends these elements into a well-balanced, worry-free itinerary.
Most popular attractions
The Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
The symbol of the ancient world. Visit in the morning for good light and fewer crowds; you can add entry to the Great Pyramid for a more immersive experience.
Petra, Jordan
The rose-red city carved into rock. Walk through the Siq to reach the Treasury and hike up to the Monastery. Petra by Night, lit by hundreds of candles, is a magical experience.
Burj Khalifa, Dubai
The tallest building in the world. Book online for sunset, then stop by the Dubai Fountains for the evening show.
Jerusalem – the Old City
A sacred place for three religions. Dress modestly and check the visiting hours for the Temple Mount/Esplanade of the Mosques.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
A cinematic desert. Take a 4x4 tour with the Bedouins, watch the sunset over the dunes, and spend the night glamping under a sky full of stars.
The Dead Sea, Jordan/Israel
Float effortlessly thanks to the high salt content. Avoid submerging your head, rinse off afterward, and try the mineral-rich mud.
Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, Egypt
The largest open-air museum in the world. The Luxor Pass saves time and money; early morning is ideal for visiting the tombs.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi
White marble and stunning mosaics. Free entry with a reserved time slot; modest dress is required.
Cappadocia, Turkey
Moonlike landscapes and villages carved into volcanic tuff. A sunrise hot-air balloon flight is an unforgettable experience.
