Middle East Cultures

Whether you are a seasoned traveler or whether you are preparing for your first trip overseas, the Middle East is a must-tour destination. Travel experts describe it as a trove of history and culture and as a region brimming with natural beauty. From Israel and Egypt to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and more, there are endless sights to see, foods to taste, ancient ruins to explore, and modern attractions to enjoy.

Before you pack your bags and head off on your Middle East vacation, you might want to do some research and reading on the unique cultures that characterize the region. If you are a Western citizen who has never left North America before, you may be in for a bit of a culture shock. In fact, language, dress, how men and women are treated, and basic daily lifestyles vary even between countries in the Middle East. In most Arab countries, travelers are advised to dress modestly and refrain from public displays of affection. If you are female, you may be asked to cover your head with a hat or scarf upon entry to many religions sites. As a rule of thumb, however, if you behave courteously, you can expect cordial treatment in return.

If you are joining an Israel tour you might want to bone up on some common Hebrew phrases and words. To prepare for neighboring Egypt tours, Arabic is the language to practice. However since the region has become a magnet for Western tourists, you can usually get by speaking English as well.

Studying the history of each country will also help you get a better feel for its culture. If you are preparing for an Israel tour, read about the famous 1917 Balfour Declaration, a letter send from Britain's Lord Balfour to England Jewish community leader Sir Walter Rothschild. This age-old document began a process which culminated years later in the founding of the Jewish state. If you are heading off to Egypt, read about the Nile River and do some research on some of the most famous Egyptian tourist attractions. In this way you will be able to better appreciate the cultural richness and diversity of each place when you finally reach your Middle East destination.

Religion is another key reason why so many people from all over the world choose this region as their vacation destination. Every year millions of Jews, Muslims, and Christians flock to the Middle East to learn more about their heritage. From mosques, to churches, to temples and synagogues, there is no lack of religious venues to visit.

What makes the Middle East so special, however, is its unique blend of the old and the new. One one hand there are hundreds of ancient tombs and archeological sites to visit, but on the other hand the region features scores of modern tourist attractions and exciting activities for all ages. Check out the stunning local beachfronts, swim in the Mediterranean ocean, go scuba diving, or go floating in the famous Dead Sea. Sip on a cappuccino or kick back with a cold drink at a sidewalk cafés, enjoy international art exhibits and local craft fairs, or take a jeep ride and explore the countryside and desert.

Middle East travel is exciting, interesting, and enriching. So pack your bags, fasten your seat belt, and get ready for the trip of a lifetime!

St. Helena, Ascension Und Tristan Da Cunha $14.14 Kapitel: Mission Sui Juris St. Helena, Ascension Und Tristan Da Cunha, Flagge St. Helenas, Anglican Church of Southern Africa, St.-Helena-Pfund, Wappen St. Helenas, Iso 3166-2:sh. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: The Anglican Church of Southern Africa, known until 2006 as the Church of the Province of Southern Africa, is the Anglican province in the southern part of Africa, including dioceses in Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Saint Helena, South Africa and Swaziland. In South Africa, there are at least 2.4 million Anglicans out of an estimated population of 45 million. The primate is the Archbishop of Cape Town. The current archbishop is Thabo Makgoba who succeeded Njongonkulu Ndungane. During the years 1986 to 1996 the primate was Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu. The first Anglican clergy to minister regularly at the Cape were military chaplains who accompanied the troops when the British occupied the Cape Colony in 1795 and then again in 1806. The second British occupation resulted in a growing influx of civil servants and settlers who were members of the Church of England, and so civil or colonial chaplains were appointed to minister to their needs. These were under the authority of the governor. The first missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel arrived in 1821. He was the Revd William Wright. He opened a church and school in Wynberg, a fashionable suburb of Cape Town. Allen Gardiner, a missionary of the Church Missionary Society went to Zululand, and arranged for a priest, Francis Owen to be sent to the royal residence of King Dingane. Owen witnessed the massacre of Piet Retief, the Voortrekker leader, and his companions, who had come to negotiate a land treaty with Dingane, and left soon afterwards. The Anglican Church in Southern Africa at this time was under the Bishop of Calcutta, whose diocese effectively included the East Indies and the entire Southern Hemisphere. Bishops
