Celebrations in the Middle East

The Middle East is very inexpensive, as tourists’ traffic is low. Accommodation is easily available and entrance fees to tourist sites are cheaper. The Middle East is touched by the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf, and the Red, Black, and Arabian seas but is arid to semiarid desert with mountain climates. Although annual climate change varies by region, the spring season and fall are the most wonderful times to go when the climate conditions is mild. Summers can be scorching sweltering, especially in the desert, and winters can be freezing, particularly in mountains.
In the northern part of Middles East in the Iran and Iraq region, the middle of April to September, and late September to early November are periods to avoid as the climate conditions is extreme. The summer months are also expensive and winter is a time when one can bargain but it is cold with temperatures like 11 degrees Celsius. Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, is not a time to travel to the Middle East as restaurants are closed during the day.
The Saudi Arabian region of the Middle East is best visited between November and February when the summer month’s heat is spent. The middle of April to October brings sweltering heat and humidity in the coastal regions. The southern part of the Middle East is best between November and the middle of March, with cool mountain air and pleasant daytime temperatures averaging 25 degrees Celsius. The Middle East is a good place at good times but one has to watch the political situation when planning a trip and avoid disturbed areas.
