The birthplace of three of the world's major religions, the Middle East fascinates the senses like no other. Taste the sea salt from the turquoise waters and sift the bright white sands of Dubai and Oman. Touch the rose-red walls of Petra, hewn from sheer sandstone cliffs. See the outline of the massive Egyptian pyramids, eternal monuments to the ancient pharaohs, back lit by a setting sun. Smell the coppery scent of commerce that wafts through Turkey's bustling bazaars and delicate minarets. Hear the wind whip through the ancient city of Persepolis in the desert of modern Iran. And finally, in Jerusalem, free your sixth sense to delve into the most sacred city in the world. The Middle East is calling you.
