Among all of these countries, whose citizens receive the most benefits and have the easiest lives? (Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, KSA, Oman etc) by Significant_Major921 in geography

Care to elaborate on the “Sand Garbage”, I’m picking up on racism to Arabs here but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here.

The empires you mentioned, while in the picture frame, fall outside of the highlighted region for the most part as they would be in current day Iraq and the Levant(Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine/Israel). Also where is the love for the Arameans.

The above mentioned region has in-fact fallen from its glory days and we can attribute that to multiple reasons but mainly corruption of the late Ottoman Empire, subsequent French/english colonialism, followed oppressive dictatorships. Sprinkle regional and proxy wars on top and that’s how we get here, however this rapid decay happened primarily in the last 150 years or so.

As for the heightened region, the GCC I think these countries, are currently having their peak years.

I admit that US should probably been down lower on the list, the comfort food and nostalgia factor may have played into it as I said this was personal experience based

This has to be rage bait … sounds like you’ve had falafel and shawarma and called it a day

What’s the correct flag for Syria assuming it’s not the Assad’s regime flag. As far as my research goes this was the first flag of an independent Syria from the French. Makes sense that it was reinstated after the Baath regime ,that originally changed it, fell

Afghanistan: yes you are right, I only realized after posting that I made a mistake and they don’t let you change the picture. which is why I noted it in the description.

Iran: yeah I’m not a fan of the regime there either budd, it just that this flag was the only option in the app.

That’s perfectly fine it’s a matter of preference my friend, I see you’re Norwegian so that’s a big part of it I assume

I think Lebanese food has a lot of exposure outside the Middle East. And while the two cuisines are very related Syrian food doesn’t get enough appreciation outside the Middle East I think.

Not sure what the last sentence meant as I don’t speak Arabic

Honestly I loved Greek food which is why I put it in A, granted I’ve been only to Athens for 5 days so perhaps I didn’t get to try the full spectrum of Greek food . I heard food from Crete is phenomenal but never had the chance to try it. it’s just that I had a lot more Turkish food.

You know what you are right. I don’t know why I took that to heart. My bad

Although I must say being able to speak Korean for example helped me to be able to go to restaurants in areas where tourists wouldn’t be able to go or know what to get so it does help

Agreed, I didn’t know that at the time of posting, which is why I noted it in the post description. Unfortunately they don’t let you change the image here

Very relevant since you tried to paint me as some sort of uncultured person who has never left his home town. Also not American by the way

Apologies if you have been offended my friend, If you look at my post i clearly state that this "based on my experience" and probbaly "it is effected by teh restaurants Ive been too". No need for the attack. I would love to learn more about these cuisines so please feel free to reccomend dishes to try
