Food is always a fundamental issue, because it is at the core of human activity. If the health of both man and the planet is to be safeguarded, food production may be geared toward meeting the dual requirement of food safety and environmental sustainability. The Middle East is a region that connects the East and the West, the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, Russia, and the warm seas. Tourists love to try out all the different foods which originate from the nation they are visiting. Travelling to the Middle East would be no exception. Although there is no substitute for actually visiting the Middle East, food can make you feel that you are there. Some of the cuisines are centuries old and reflect the culture of trading in spices, herbs, and foods. The region has many similarities, but also unique traditions. This paper is an introduction to various delicious dishes in the Middle East.
