A backpacking adventure in the Middle East can be revealing, exciting and challenging times. By exploring the sites of immense religious significance, cultural and historical, you complete your training and into other lesser-known cultures and lifestyles. Travelling in the Middle East is never short of an adventure and is likely to experience the amazing hospitality, enjoy a delicious cuisine and meet interesting people on the road.
Fly to Istanbul in Turkey, a city at the crossroads of East and West. The perfect introduction to the Middle East, Istanbul is both Westernized and family, while at the same time it is exotic and charming. After a few good days haggling in the Grand Bazaar and architectural wonder, the head coach comfortable during the night to Cappadocia.
Cappadocia: The natural beauty of Central Turkey is impressive. Goreme is a good base for a few days sampling delicious Turkish cuisine, walking through the spectacular formations of "fairy chimneys" of rock and exploration of churches carved into the rock by early Christians.
Cappadocia, Antioch head for your last night in Turkey before heading to the border by bus to Aleppo in Syria.
Aleppo, Syria probably contains almost everything that comes to mind when thinking about the Middle East: the legendary Arab hospitality, mouthwatering mezze, conservative Islam and its rich history and culture. The people here are some of the friendliest in the world, and really get a feel for the place, spend some time in cafes and markets (souks). In every corner, there seems to be a point of historical interest, but only the observation of culture and talking to local people can be an experience in itself.
DamascusA must on the itinerary of any traveler Middle East. A few days can be spent in coffee shops and souks of Damascus, sipping strong Arabic coffee to the sound of Muslim call to prayer. The Umayyad Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in the world and the architectural beauty is breathtaking.
Palmira: If you are in ruins, not to skip Palmira. These ruins of one of the most important centers of the ancient world of culture is an oasis in the Syrian desert, and can be reached by bus or taxi from Damascus.
From Damascus, south and cross into Jordan. Sharing a taxi is relatively easy in Damascus and is a great opportunity to make friends with the locals. Take a ride in Damascus in the direction of Amman in Jordan.
Amman: After a day or two exploring this fascinating city and hospital of the contrasts between old and new, continue south by bus to the site of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra.
Petra: Jordan's main tourist attraction is the huge rock-carved Nabataean city of Petra. Marvel at the impressive carvings, dazzling red and beautiful rock formations as you explore the valley of Petra, on foot or by horse or camel.
Aqaba: From Wadi Musa (the town for use as a base to visit Petra), one by bus to the Jordanian Red Sea resort of Aqaba. From here, you will have access to some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world and the timeless beauty of natural landscape crimson Wadi Rum. Wadi Rum is virtually untouched by humanity and can be explored in a 4x4 vehicle or camels. You can make arrangements to stay with local people Bedoiun, spend a night in a tent after a traditional campfire meal.
In Israel, allow enough time to cross the border into Israel. It may be useful to have a clear idea of where you go in Israel and what we hope to do there. Be patient and friendly and once the formalities at the border already, I want to go in a taxi and go to the Israeli town of Eilat.
Eilat: After a couple of weeks in the Arab countries of Jordan and Syria, Eilat will be a major culture shock. You can see the Jordanian flag and the city of Aqaba on the beach in the center of Eilat, but it feels like a different world. Eilat is an Israeli resort with western restaurants, bars and nightlife. If the sun, sea, sand and partying is your thing, you'll want to stay for a few days in Eilat.
Jerusalem: The center of the three major world religions, Jerusalem is like nowhere else on Earth. The old city contains sites of great historical and cultural importance of Jews, Christians and Muslims. A visit to Jerusalem is an opportunity to explore the historical sites and religious, while deepening the understanding of the history and issues related to the current conflict.
Dead Sea: Easy access from Jerusalem, Ein Gedi is an oasis on the shores of the Dead Sea the lowest point on Earth. Due to the salt content, the human body will float in the Dead Sea, an experience not to be missed.
Galilee, Israel Travelling is convenient and simple and a trip to northern Galilee offers the opportunity to explore the area where Jesus lived and taught, including the Mount of Beatitudes (where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount) and the Sea of Galilee .
Tel Aviv: Known as the "city that never stops" because of its reputation of feast, Tel Aviv is the heart of secular Israel and the economic and commercial center. The highlight is the sand on the Mediterranean coast and the fantastic beach scene where you can relax for a day or two before boarding a flight home.
Assuming independent travel as a backpacker, this 4-week journey through the Middle East is likely to cost in the region of $ 1500 - $ 2000, if you travel and share his room with a partner and in the region $ 2400 - $ 2700 if you travel on your own.
