A Cruise, or cruise and stay holiday the The Middle East can be an exciting, cultural and life changing experience. Especially for winter cruises as the middle east has a great climate, which opposes our winter in the UK. This is a region that roughly incorporates a majority of Western Asia and Egypt. The term 'middle east' is used as a synonym for 'Near East', as opposed to the 'Far East.'

The Middle East has always been a very arid and dry place. The basic climate is hot and dry, although winters can be mild with a little rainfall. To the north of the vast desert are the great steppes. This area has extremes of contrasting temperature and rain in spring and winter. The rest of the area has rainfall between March and November and sporadic flooding from March to May. Summers are notably long and hot and the winters are wet and mild along the coast of the Mediterranean. The coastal areas can be humid but they often have a breeze to compensate.
