Traveling to the Near and Middle East is quite popular among Russian tourists. However, the number of countries invariably in demand does not include all the states located in this vast region. In order to clarify the subject of the description, let us dwell on this point. Which countries are traditionally included in this region?
The Near and Middle East, paradoxical as it sounds, includes states located in Western Asia, North Africa, at the junction of two continents. The Middle East includes Yemen, AEO, Qatar, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, etc. It is also customary to include Israel and Palestine, Iran, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and, of course, Egypt and part of Turkey. The Middle East is represented by such states as Afghanistan and Iran. Such a division is very ambiguous, since the Middle East is often identified with the concept of the Middle East or these two concepts are used in close connection.
If our compatriots traditionally choose Israel, Palestine, Turkey and Egypt as a place to stay, then the more exotic Tunisia and Algeria, Qatar and Libya are more lovedtourists fed up with the "normal" route.
