Greetings and Ahlan wa Sahlan


Greetings and welcome to a blog devoted to the Middle East. Someone told me once that when they thought of the Middle East, all they knew about it was Baklava and Belly Dancing. Of course, there is so much more to it than that...the Middle East is a beautiful and historic area of the world that is different from one country to the next. This will not be a place for bad news, but rather, a respite for all that is beautiful and special about the Middle East. So, find an embroidered pillow, recline and sip on some hot mint chai. Marhaba and Ahlan wa Sahlan...
