Introduction
Africa and the Middle East have either produced or hosted many of the world's greatest civilisations, resulting in a rich legacy of ancient monuments, from the Nabataeun city of Petra to the pyramids, temples and tombs of Egypt.

Africa and Middle east
Africa is the second largest continent of the world and has about 770 million people. It has an incredible diversity in culture and in environment. The continent is recognized as the birthplace of the Homo Sapiens and of historical civilizations.

The African continent has an impressive climate diversity and a strongly contrasting landscape. The northern part of the continent is dominated by the Sahara desert, the largest desert in the world. The central and southern parts has magnificent equatorial forests.

Diversity also happens in the African's cultural life. There is a huge difference between culture and income, when cities, like Cairo or Capetown, are compared with the tribes of Masai Mara, in Kenya.

In addition, the region contains spectacular wildlife and dramatic landscapes, from the Sahara to the Serengeti. You can snorkel and dive among the dazzling coral reefs of the Red Sea; descend into the inner chambers of the Pyramid of Cheops, focus on a pride of lions in the Okavango Delta, go beachcombing for seashells in the Seychelles, or wander through the perfumed Kasbahs of Marrakesh.
