God bless our beautiful Arab world from Oman to Andalusia
 
God bless our beautiful Arab world from Oman to Andalusia

Andalusia is not Arab land despite being under Arab rule/control for 1000 years and even it's name being of Arabic origin like about 20-25% of all Spanish words and many names of Spanish cities, regions etc.

Anyway I thought that you hated Arabs and the Arab world as a Persian.

Fitting because the Arab world is a world of contradictions for good and bad!
 
Damascus is the oldest? :crazy:

Most scholars and historians agree with Byblos being the oldest but Damascus just like Aleppo, Sana'a and dozens of other Arab/Semitic cities in the ME are considered among the oldest in the world as well.

List of cities by time of continuous habitation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list does not include cities that are no longer inhabited I believe otherwise we would see more cities from Iraq, the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa etc.
