Middle East & Africa
Marrakech medinas, the Pyramids of Giza, Cape Town's Table Mountain and the Kruger Big Five. Our country-by-country guide to the trips that change how you think about both regions.
We cluster the Levant, North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa together in this index because the trip-planning calculus is genuinely cross-continental — Morocco and Egypt anchor a North African Mediterranean swing; South Africa is its own multi-week journey; the Gulf and the Levant are increasingly connected to Africa via Cairo and Doha hub flights.
Our coverage leans into the trips repeat visitors take seriously — the Sahara overnight from Marrakech, Egypt's Nile cruise plus the new Grand Egyptian Museum, the Kruger-and-Cape Town pairing that's the South Africa first-trip canon. Each is checked against current security and visa conditions; the regional editors flag what's actually safe and what's marketing.
Use this index to pick the country, then go deep into the hub. Visa requirements (Egypt's e-visa, South Africa's blank-page rule) are checked against current rules. The topical guides cross-linked inside each cover the angles that matter — Morocco riads, Egyptian Nile cruises, Cape Winelands.
