I don't like malls either, but I do like desert, farms, valleys, mountains, camping, beaches & coastline, ruins, caves, a certain bridge & other road borders, plus numerous points of interest.  |

Travelin in the middle east is great but only if you have an open heart and not coming in with outdated notions of grandeur.
Also, i find it wierd how someone could judge or criticise a country based on its skylines why does that even matter? If anything, skylines are overrated. |

I had low expectations of travelling around the entire Gulf (which I did quite comfortably) and wasn't left too disappointed when I found out I was right. Kuwait and Qatar especially. Even Dubai and Abu Dhabi weren't all that either. Yet none of my friends home ever believe me when I say 'Dubai isn't so great'... |

Traveling in the Gulf is not what I meant about traveling in the Middle east.
That's like comparing traveling in Beverly Hills or New York to a trip around America.
You don't need much heart for visits to Dubai or Doha. It's pretty much a soulless place. However visiting Oman, Iran, Kurdistan, and even into North Africa (especially Morocco, Sudan, Egypt) one can truly appreciate the magic of this great land. |

Last I checked, Oman was located in the Gulf Peninsula... |
