Sudan:
Photos of members of the ancient Rashaida tribe originally from Hijaz who crossed the beautiful Red Sea and settled in Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti etc. I don't know if they have mixed with others now but probably some have. Nevertheless most could fit into Hijaz without a problem.

Byblos - thought of as the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. In general the area of what is now Lebanon is one of the oldest Semitic regions in the world. Phoenicians (one of the many great ancient Semitic cultures) arose in what is now Lebanon.

Inshallah when I have the time and resources I definitely plan to visit Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Morocco and Tunisia. Turkey will probably be the first one on the list, very easy to visit Turkey from UK.

And it snows in Morocco. LOL

Dear it snows everywhere in the Arab world outside of Mauritania, Northern Sudan, Qatar and Bahrain. Snow has even been recorded in recent years in the mountains of Oman and UAE. In the remaining Arab countries outside of a few exceptions where it does not happen on a yearly basis (especially in the mountain regions when it occurs mostly) snow is not uncommon during winter as my photos of snowy mountains in various Arab countries clearly shows or even skiing places.:)
