Two sides of the same coin
The Middle East is a place that is fraught with an amazing combination: war has not subsided here for millennia, and at the same time, the tourism industry is booming. Of course, some countries are closed to visitors, and those that can boast of beautiful beaches and clear waters delight visitors with five-star hotels, restaurants and shopping. Asian countries in the western region are characterized by a dry tropical and subtropical climate, vegetation is concentrated only along the coasts. Also note that the region is washed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf, as well as several other straits that share Asia with Europe and Africa. A characteristic feature of almost all the states of the Middle East is also considered the Islam that they profess (with the exception of Christian Cyprus and Jewish Israel). This religion gives a special flavor to the region, makes it unique.
