Adventure Holidays in War Zones
Those who are looking for an adventure holiday with an edge could find Iraq or Afghanistan to be appealing destinations. There is a specialist travel agency that organizes trips to these crisis-hit country's for adventure lovers. Iraq, for instance, is home to many beautiful archaeological sights and is known to historians as the cradle of Western civilization.
Yet the two Gulf wars and political instability in modern times have basically killed off its tourist trade. For those willing to make the trip, they will find few package tours available. But HinterlandTravel has been an exception to this rule, offering trips to Afghanistan and Iraq that are created by an expert with over 40 years of travel experience in the region. The company's average customer is either an older person who visited Iraq or Afghanistan decades ago, or a traveler who is attracted to the adrenaline rush of touring one of the world's trouble zones.
