MIDDLE EAST

MIDDLE EAST

The Middle East is that part of Western Asia, extending from the eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey and Syria,

through the desert to Iraq and Arabia, and to the East through Iran to the Caspian, the Caucasus, and the Black

Sea. Into Africa, it includes Egypt, and, by some accounts, Arab North Africa. This area comprises mountains,

deserts, fertile plains irrigated by grand rivers, and seacoasts. Climatically, the Middle East ranges from the

temperate Mediterranean coast, to the extreme heat of the arid desert areas, to snowy mountains. This variety of

terrain produces a wide range of food ingredients.

The ecology of these lands fosters different modes of adaptation. Nomadism was a prevalent form of existence for

much of the history of the region, and remains so on the margins. Equally, the region saw the earliest agricultural

settlements and the first cities in human history. Indeed, the contrast and conflict between nomad and city dweller

is an ever-present theme in the culture, lore, and politics of the region from earliest times. Ethnically, it embraces

Arabs, Persians, Turks, Kurds, Armenians, and, until recently, Greeks, as well as many pockets of ancient ethnicities

and religions. Jewish communities, many of ancient ancestry in the region, partook in this ethnic diversity, most of

them now settled in the state of Israel, which also includes many European and African Jews, creating a melting pot

of diverse cultures and cuisines.

Islam is the majority religion in the Middle East and enters into the constitution of many of its cultural elements,

including food and drink. There are many Christian communities, of diverse denominations, and their religious

prescriptions of feasting and fasting have also left their mark on food culture. Ancient religions and sects persist in

some quarters, notably the Zoroastrians of Iran, as well as many sects, such as Baha'i, professing syncretistic

combinations of old Persian religion with Islam and Christianity.

History and Culture

Successive conquests and rule of different empires have shaped the civilizations and cultures of the region, and led

to the common themes in its culture that we find today. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt were

subject to subsequent conquests and incorporation in wider empires, starting with the Persians and the Greeks,

then the Romans, including Byzantines, which Hellenized much of the region.

The Muslim Arab conquests established a vast political entity, soon fragmented, but retaining common cultural

elements. The Islamization of much of Iran and the Byzantine Empire brought these elements of older cultures to

shape the emergent civilization, notably its culinary elements. The last empire to rule the region (before European

colonial rule) was the Ottoman, which also included much of southeast Europe, creating a wide cultural synthesis

of Turkish statecraft, Arab religion, Persian culture, and many elements from the territories under its control.

Geography Of The Middle East

The majority of the Middle East region is characterized by a warm desert climate. Weather in this climate is very

high during the summer and can reach dangerous levels, with parts of Iraq and Iran having recorded feel-like

temperatures of over 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Average temperatures during the summer

usually rest at around 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius), while the winters are somewhat milder.

This climate also has very little rainfall, resulting in large desert regions. Areas of the Middle East surrounding the

Mediterranean, such as Israel and Lebanon, instead boast a warm Mediterranean climate similar to parts of Greece

and Italy, while Turkey's territory stretches over a variety of arid and continental climate. The northern regions of

the Middle East in Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia are closer to a steppe climate, with colder winters but still

very little precipitation.

Dreams Wishes&Sanyog Gupta Foundation

For us charity begins at home. We would soon launch a charitable organisation name

“Sanyog Gupta Foundation”. The foundation will help out all waifs and stray

children, needy people for living and other health related financial aid.

We made an announcement of this foundation in an interview to the newspaper here in

New Delhi, India. I have been thinking of opening a foundation like this for long and

when I am settled mentally and financially I decided it's the right prospect to announce

our foundation, because for us charity begins at home.

The charitable sector is an imperative and captivating one, economically socially and

culturally. Every one of the world's great religions emphasises the moral imperative of

charitable living. There is no code of ethics, whether religiously based or secular, that

does not mandate the strong to look after the week, shares Sanyog.

We have made a start by planning, organising, directing, staffing and controlling and

soon the project will hit the ground. We would be glad to be given any help from the

corporate world to raise funds for the foundation.

How much does a night on safari cost?This is a common question, but one that is extremely difficult to answer. There are many factors that go into pricing one night on safari such as: the time of year (many lodges have seasonal pricing), the standard of accommodation, and what is included.

What are the best times of year to travel?To simplify an answer to a complex question, we have put together a month by month guide of the best times to visit each of the countries in Middle East that we feature. We have taken into account, weather, temperature, wildlife viewing, and seasonal events in our selections. There are benefits of visiting countries in the off season.

In terms of a safari experience, the wet season might mean more chance of you getting wet, but it might also mean a better chance of getting up close to the wildlife and enjoying the green landscape.

Are children able to go on safari?The minimum age limit required to stay at a safari lodge or camp is determined by the property itself and varies from place to place. Generally speaking, children must be over six years old to participate in game drives. Some lodges do not accept children under 12 years old. There are exceptions to this rule, particularly if you charter your own safari vehicle and private guide.

What travel documents do I need?All visitors are required to carry a passport that is valid for six months beyond the intended length of stay. Nationals of certain countries do not require visas - this depends on the country you are visiting. It is advisable to check with the Consulate of the country you intend visiting for the latest visa and entry requirements. We assist our clients with information regarding the visa requirements for each destination visited.

How do I phone the country?You can dial an international country direct. First dial the your country's international code (+) for dialling out of the country (for example, 00 in England). Then dial the specific international code required for the country you are calling (see below), the area code of the region you need and then the specific number.

Up to 20 seconds may pass before you hear ringing. In certain countries, ringing resembles an engaged tone. In these cases, an engaged tone will be a short signal repeated rapidly.

Is English spoken widely?Yes. English is spoken throughout Middle East, especially by those involved in the tourist trade. Many countries use English as their language of education in schools and universities. Is vegetarian/halal/kosher food available?Yes. Special dietary requirements are catered for throughout Middle East. Please give advanced notice to places where you intend staying if meals are included in your package. Most restaurants offer selections for vegetarians, depending on their forte.

Local specialities can be surprisingly good! With the exception of a few upmarket lodges, halal and kosher food is not available at most camps/lodges.

When are the banks open?Banks in Middle East are generally open on weekdays during office hours or mornings only. Some countries have banks that open until about 11:00am on Saturdays.

Are there any medical precautions?As vaccination requirements change from time to time, we suggest you consult your local doctor or health department for prophylactics and the latest health precautions. Some countries require advance inoculations (and certificates thereof). Most lodges have qualified emergency first-aid staff members.

I am a single traveler is this ok?You don't have to worry about the fact that you are travelling alone. We also have a lot of single travellers. That's the great thing about these Trips is that you are in a group so you won't feel alone at all. There is no single supplement on our rates so everyone pays the same.

Is there an age limit on tours?With regards to age limits, we have had younger and older passengers travel with us without any problem. We just ask that you are fit enough as we have participation trips. Other trips are only open to participants aged 18 and older.

You will be required to put up & down your own tent, help out the cook with cooking & cleaning duties and do security. You will need to be able to climb the ladder steps to get on & off the Overland truck. Passengers over 60 years are required to have a medical certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

47

How do I charge my batteries for my camera/ ipod/ laptop?We recommend you bring along 2 sets of rechargeable batteries + 2 sets of normal batteries, so you can be guaranteed of having working batteries at all times. Some of the campsites will have electricity points (bring along an international converter plug) where you can recharge your batteries.

If you know you take a lot of photos, then rather spend a bit more on buying an extra card with a high storage capacity and bring along extra batteries.

There are many Overland trucks travelling through Middle East, how to choose one?There are a lot of Overland companies out there in Middle East offering similar experiences. Mostly the trucks run a similar route, but depart on different days, so you will probably see trucks on the road or at your campsite, irrelevant of who you choose to travel with.

On choosing an Overland company, remember you need to check up on their experience in the industry, the backup they offer on the road and what the general commentary is out there about the company. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, so always check what's included and what's not and Previous Travellers Feedback.

Are there luggage limits?The check in luggage limits on the regional commercial flights is 20 kg pp (44 lbs per person) plus you are allowed 1 carry on bag. Unless otherwise specified, if your safari itinerary involves any light aircraft transfers in Oman, Dubai or Egtpt, there is a limit of 15 - 20 kg (44 lbs) per person.

What about wild animals whilst on safari?Most private camps in Middle East are unfenced, so listen to your camp staff and guides. Don't push any safety issues – you will not be in any theme parks where the animals are tame. Don't ever go strolling away from the camp or from your guide.

Is self driving safe in Middle East?When self driving in Middle East, please bear in mind that the standards of driving are not as high as that of the average road user in places like Europe, Britain and North America. The roads are generally good and well marked, but one must drive defensively, always anticipating the worst from your fellow road users. It is advisable to carry cash with you as there are toll gates on certain national roads where you will need to pay a fee.

What about crime in Middle East?Crime has been a much reported evil of certain areas in Middle East, particularly the big cities. We have had no problems of this nature happen to any of our Middle East safari clients. The hotels we suggest are in good areas and you are invariably out of the rough city centres.

Are there any specific requirements for passports?It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that their passports are valid for travel to Middle East, for at least 6 months after the date of termination of services, provided by regional Travel Gateway. The passport must also have at least 3 - 4 blank pages in it. This is critical as you will not be allowed into South Africa without meeting these requirements.

What type of electricity can I expect in Middle East?In Middle East current is 220/240 volts at 50 cycles per second. Please note that some game lodges do not have electricity and run on generators. You will not find plug sockets in the rooms/tents at lodges.

In Dubai, appliances all run on 220/240 volts. Outlets are round 3-pin, 15 amp type. Points for electric shavers (electric current 250VAC) are available at major hotels and most state-owned rest camps and resorts. It is advisable to bring battery operated or conventional razors if visiting remote areas during the course of your holiday.

Will I be able to see the great migration?As nature is unpredictable, we are hesitant to give a guarantee, but we have been in the business for a long time and are your best resource for getting as close to the action as possible. We know the best river crossings, hot air balloon safaris, and mobile camps to make the great migration a memory that will last a lifetime. We've got a great blog post that we hope you find useful, but speak to our Travel Advisors for answers to your specific questions.

Which beach destinations can I combine with a safari?Middle East offers wonderful opportunities for a multi-centre holiday that includes an exciting wildlife safari, a relaxing beach stay, and a cultural city visit. We have put together some of our favourite itineraries that highlight the diversity of the Dark Continent, but bear in mind that these are just suggestions. All of our holidays are tailor-made to your specifications, so please contact our travel advisors to create your own adventure.
