Tourism in the Middle East developed rapidly. Its deeply routed successive civilizations have left their footprint of this region of the world of the major tourist destinations. Middle East remains an economic destination with the incredible diversity of activity.
Travel smart and hassle from all these seven basic steps:
1 Make sure that your Visa and travel documents are in order before the arrival. In particular, make sure that your Passport has been in a period of grace of six months before expiry. It is your safety net.
2 Obtain adequate insurance for the flexibility of flight. As distances in arid zones are significant, you can be blocked or, better still, you can just see Petra in Jordan for a full day! Some of the best destinations require an extra day and you can cost a day to arrive at the airport.
3 Stock of drugs against the diarrhea and vomiting. It is both more common tourist symptom and with this handy will you save a full day costs and distress to communicate outside your personal and cultural borders on embarrassing questions!
4 Adhere to the dress code. You will thus earn respect for local populations who are often happier to help and provide assistance. Triple your chances of getting assistance in accordance with this fundamental rule.
5 Inventory cards updated, especially if you are driving. Maps for driving over long distances must usually be ordered in advance via the internet. Do not let you take the risk of being blocked, regardless of how friendly local people. They tend to travel less than Westerners, even within their own territory.
6. When you choose a place to eat, it is sufficient to consider restaurant facilities where an abundance of the locals eat and drink. It is a proven way to get a meal for a fair price. Look what others are paying and don't hesitate to politely point out a possible price difference.
7. Last but not least, ask permission for photos, including local chapters, vehicles and identifiable landmarks. I strongly advise against the publication of photos of people and especially the border patrol on the internet, unless you have permission. For many, it can be offensive.
Get that "aha" experience in dealing with yourself and many locals. You will be surprised by the speed with which you can create a network of friends to last for decades! Enjoy and let enjoy!
