Oh, my DREAM trip
DesertNomad! Didn't like Beirut so much so I'd skip that and replace it with Damascus. Liked it much more and still good enough to give the Immigration people fits.
and then on to sights yet unseen - Dubai, Yemem, Oman.....I imagine they'd be worth all the secondaries they could through at me.
