I have travelled through much of the Middle East last year, that is, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Egypt and can offer more specific advice on these regions.

Last year, I had an accident in the Sinai Desert and it was through this website that I made contact with the people in Cairo who eventually assisted with my repatriation to England.

Thanks Ceasar for the links. Here's a few more:

US Department of State - Bureau of Consular Affairs. This is the department which issues Travel Advisories and Consular Information. It is worth checking on any country which you are considering travelling to.

We will be expanding the Safety section of the site and adding material and links to it since this topic has become very critical for many folks.
