And so hospitable. The great food, super gold shopping prices and fantastic carpets don't hurt either. If you like archeological sites, you might consider Turkey, Lebanon or Egypt. I think there are a few cool things in Syria as well. Like the world's largest crusader castle. We so want to go there. It really is much easier than most folks on this side of the pond realize.

I'm looking forward to reading this, Myscha! I'm sure it's a fascinating peek into the area that guide books can't really convey.
