    • As I said before:
    Please once you deiced to visit the Middle East, put all what you know and you heard behind your back!
    Media had really deformed a lot of facts about this region!
    I’m only asking everybody to make its own idea and facts from his own experience and from what he saw and tested by him.
    Tourists are always fascinated about how nice and kind and friendly the majority of people in the Middle East are.
    They are totally taken by the hospitality and welcoming and automatic help people shows once they meet a stranger or a tourist.
    Many tourists always if it is safe to go to countries in the Middle East.
    Once again I am here to confirm that: oh yes sir it is safe everywhere but those conflict zones.

     Once we fought wars over differing religions, and plundered Gold and treasure, now fight wars over differing religions and we plunder oil. Nice to see how far civilisation has come on in 800 years. Interesting page Firas.
