Middle East Travel Essentials
Visa & Entry
UAE, Jordan & Morocco are visa-free or on-arrival for most. Egypt & Turkey offer e-visa from $25. Saudi Arabia now offers tourist e-visa online.
Dress Code
Dress modestly outside of resort areas — cover shoulders and knees. Dubai is more relaxed. Women don't need to cover hair except in mosques.
Best Time
Oct–Apr is ideal across the region — mild 20–28°C. Avoid Jun–Sep (40°C+) except at high altitude destinations like Amman or Petra.
Budget Guide
Budget: $50–80/day (Egypt, Jordan, Morocco). Mid-range: $120–200/day. Dubai & Qatar: $200–500/day. Saudi Arabia is rapidly becoming more accessible.
Ramadan Travel
During Ramadan, eating/drinking in public is restricted by day. Restaurants open after sunset (Iftar). Some attractions have special hours — plan accordingly.
Getting There
Dubai (DXB) and Istanbul (IST) are the region's main hubs — both offer connections to 200+ cities. Emirates, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines are world-class.
