The world is hoping for both peace and democracy to arise from the Mid-East rallies.
While we wait to see how the fall of Mubarak and over 18 days of protests change the face of the Mid-East, I’m already mentally packing my bags and planning my next vacation. I support democracy, and therefore I encourage us to use one of our greatest influences, economic spending, to help shape the future of these countries. The best way to show our backing is to vacation and enjoy the historic and cultural splendors of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, and other regions of the Mid-East. These countries need our tourism not only to inject money into their economy but also to know that the world supports their goals of democracy.
With that said, UrbanSouq has provided our sophisticated readers with some of the best websites to find amazing deals to amazing places! No only is it fun to stumble upon websites that have great prices, but it is enlightening fun to read about places that you never knew existed.
For starters, sign up to be a member of Jetsetter, a private online community with insider access, expert knowledge, and exclusive deals on the world’s greatest vacations. The site caters to a hip and chic clientele, and has an eye for luxurious oases. Condé Nast Traveler says that, “It’s refreshing to see a travel booking site that not only caters to sophisticated travelers but is also actually appealing to look at.” No argument from us. The photographs are mesmerizing and the special offers for their Middle East resorts and spas come with unbeatable prices. We couldn’t believe the bottom line for the Evason Ma’In Hot Springs, Jordan (about 100Euro per night!). I’d love to jet set off to this resort and indulge in the hot springs, get pampered at the spa, and then adventure out to the city of Amman. Simply put, this could be a real-life paradise in the desert.
