Exactly. If you decide to go to Egypt, Id highly recommend going with someone who speaks Arabic or is Egyptian. Completely different experience. Natives have no respect or care for any tourists, tourists in Egypt are seen as easy money.

You need to go to Beirut, Lebanon. They call it the Paris of the Middle East and their nightlife is crazy. Beautiful girls too. They say it looks like Greece but with bullet holes. You still see some of the devastation left from the civil war and the Lebanon-Israel war from a couple of years ago. Supposedly it is very beautiful. Syria is another one to visit. Damacus has a lot to see. I have many Lebanese and Syrian friends and they love it over there.

Oh yea, of course, most Arabs/Middle Eastern people do not think fondly of Israel. Well, in Lebanon, they've had wars so clearly you see some of the devastation. It also has a different political history and dynamic. In their civil war, you had all these different religions pitted against each other. But, if you go to somewhere like Beirut, all they do is party party party. It is also very religiously mixed, you have the Muslim Sunni and Muslim Shiites, Druzes, Christian Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and Maronites,etc. Lebanon is not as strict/orthodox in some areas, but in other it can be. Does not matter if you are Christian or Muslim, the orthodoxy is embedded in their cultural values. It is more liberal in some areas and tourists can fit right in. Next time you go to Greece, you should visit Beirut, Lebanon. It is cheaper that way.Originally Posted by Illuztrious
You had me up until bullet holes
Seriously I've heard those places are beautiful, I hope to see them someday. Not sure if right now is the right time tho'. Being American + in the military is kind of a handicap sometimes. We have intel on all these countries, alot going on. Especially Egypt tho'. They HATE Israel.
