Located in the center of the Middle East, Jordan offers a mesmerizing fusion of rich cultural traditions and breathtaking scenery. Jordan, which is sandwiched between Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Syria, and Iraq, has a long and rich history that reaches back to prehistoric times. In terms of hospitality, over 2 million Palestinian refugees reside in Jordan, most of them naturalized Jordanian citizens.

Tucked away along the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon is a country rich in history and culture. However, since late 2019, Lebanon’s economy has collapsed, impoverishing formerly middle class families and leaving millions struggling just to get by. According to the UN, approximately three-quarters of Lebanon’s population now live below the poverty line.

Palestine 101
Palestine is the historical and cultural center of the Arab world, and it is well situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The area is renowned for its historic cities, such as Bethlehem and Jericho. The history of Palestine is intricate and marked by ancient civilizations, conquests, and conflicts, such as The Six-Day War in 1967, which resulted in Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights.
