Jordan
Also known as the ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, Jordan is a spectacle of a destination. Jordan is packed with grand structures and hints of old civilizations. Petra, a city in Jordan, is said to be over 2000 years old. Apart from the old civilizations, another important aspect is the biblical evolution of the society that is evident in some of its structures. Hospitality is a very important part of the culture and thus, everywhere you go, you will receive a very warm welcome.

Lebanon
Lebanon lies in the Middle East and is a sovereign. It is often called the Lebanese Republic. It shares its borders with countries like Syria, Israel and Cyprus. Lebanon is actually supposed to be the smallest country in the entire continent of Asia. It has a wonderful coastline that you can never get tired of and even boasts of a popular city – fashionable Beirut.
