Inside Middle East is a travel and culture platform focused on the Middle East, sharing authentic destinations, cultural insights, and insider travel stories. IME was founded by Rahma Bekhit, a Dutch-Egyptian Middle East scholar with a deep passion for the region’s culture, stories, and hidden beauty.
Having traveled and organized group trips across the Middle East, from galloping through the Sahara at sunset to experiencing the vibrant nights of the Emirates, she learned and transmitted that this region is far more than what movies or myths like Aladdin or A Thousand and One Nights portray.
Her mission is to bridge cultures and to help others discover the real Middle East; its people, destinations, and authentic experiences. Through Inside Middle East, she aims to share travel inspiration, cultural insights, and insider stories that bring the soul of the region closer to you.
