Don't write off the Middle East and North Africa as tourist destinations. Jordan, which has so far been spared the conflicts of neighbouring countries, contains the 9,000-year-old Nabataean city of Petra, as well as a spectacular Roman site at Jerash – and current Foreign Office advice is that there are "no specific threats to the safety of British visitors".

Morocco, too, has remained largely calm in recent months, and is at its most captivating in spring sunshine.
