  • Favorite Thing: If you must, learning Arabic would be a good way to know the people, the countries around The Middle East.
    There are institutions, Arabic schools, even private tutors for this purpose...You could learn the language BEFORE coming to The Middle East or even staying in your own chosen country in The Middle East for this purpose !
    Good luck !

  • Favorite Thing: It is so good when we can get invited by the locals to their houses to sip tea, to eat or even to talk about your country or their countries.
    Never miss this opportunity if you have the chance...

  • Favorite Thing: Islam started in The Middle East.
    Do visit at least a mosque & see for yourself the sacred place where the Muslims do their prayers.
    A historical mosque like The Umayyad Mosque is a good example...
