Middle east countries are also beautiful and many of them undiscovered by tourists. This video makes it possible to look on Middle East more closely To so called Great Middle East belong: Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Iran, Irak, Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE). In Middle East live predominantly Muslims who believe in Islam. In capital cities you will find temples called mosques. But if we are speaking just about Middle East countries, then Turkey and Afghanistan will be not in the previous list. Then it would be just Egypt, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Irak, Iran and United Arab Emirates Middle East countries are in the middle capitals of Middle East countries

Once an essential part of the hippy trail, friendly, beautiful Afghanistan has sadly been destroyed by years of war and neglect. Home to plentiful countryside and the rugged Hindu Kush mountain range, travellers came for the clear mountain air and to see attractions like the giant Buddha statues of Bamiyan. However, the statues and many other monuments were destroyed under the catastrophic reign of the Taleban, a party of Islamic militants. After 9/11, Afghanistan was accused of harbouring Osama Bin Laden and faced a heavy bombardment from the US which destroyed much of the country's infrastructure. With thousands of peace-keeping troops still occupying Kabul and pockets of fighting continuing in the south, it seems it will be some time before Afghanistan is restored to its former glory. Travellers are strongly advised against all travel to Afghanistan, as the threat from terrorist or criminal violence is extremely high. There is also a widespread danger from mines and kidnap throughout the country.
