Sana'a is my favorite. It's the only one that truly represents the exotic, sensual Middle East that you learn about in stories and legends as a child. The rest are beautiful, modern - normal. Muscat is quite interesting! But Sana'a is just perfection.

She already had them, except Pakistan. She already had Cyprus, which probably does not need to belong as part of the middle east.

Thanks for the pics. I trully hope that this wonderfull city will not be damaged by US state terorism .

If i may, on one of the images depicting the entrence to Tehran it depicts the old flag of Iran. Along with images of the  Iranian Lion. Since in modern terms the flag has become a political symbol among those Iranians that wish for the style of government that was used prior, does the current government try to get rid of such images?

Cyprus is culturally European, but I guess if we can consider Turkey European then Cyprus must be middle eastern...
