With a predominantly hot and dry climate, the terrain of the Middle East is a mixture of arid deserts, such as those in Saudi Arabia, and lush plains, including the area spanning Israel, Lebanon and Syria which has been dubbed the ‘fertile crescent’. Holidays in the Middle East combine the opportunity to see ancient historical sites and religious landmarks with the chance for some world class diving and water sports.

Israel
In southern Israel, the resort of Coral Beach in Eilat draws to it a different kind of pilgrim in search of exciting water sports and pristine dive spots. Located by the Red Sea in the Gulf of Aqaba, the resort offers scuba diving, amidst turtles, moray eels and beautifully coloured coral reefs. Coral Beach also serves as an ideal springboard for exploring the country, with organised excursions to sites such as Massada, Jerusalem and Petra in neighbouring Jordan.
