Abstract: Abstract The use of technology has arguably benefited the tourism and hospitality industry of the Middle East. Tourists, on the other side, are also privileged for having easier access to scheduling their trips and finding all of the details they need to schedule the perfect trip with the ubiquitous help from the internet. They can also instantly find the necessary information about any chosen destination by browsing the internet. Theoretically, general technology-enhanced tourism and hospitality are relatively well investigated by researchers, meaning that; investigating the effects of technology-based tourism in the Middle East in the challenging pandemic time can be useful. Thus, this chapter is focused on discussing the advancements of the technology-based tourism and hospitality industry in the Middle East, highlighting the COVID-19 and the post-COVID-19 pandemic period. Current scholarly literature on technology-based tourism in the Middle East is brought into the discussion to generate insightful findings for the tourism policy-makers and relevant stakeholders in the Middle East. Results outline the opportunities and challenges of technology-based tourism in the Middle East with theoretical analysis. Although the chapter has limited discussion on a few Middle Eastern countries, it discovers valuable comprehension for the travelers and tourism policy-makers.
