Egypt is easier on visas than many others in the region, plus you have good locations like Alexandria, Luxor, Sharm El Sheikh, Cairo, etc.
Jordan and Lebanon are also quite open with inter-Arab visa needs, and can grant on the spot visas at airports for many nationalities. -Ahmed From: Hani Abuelkhair Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 10:24 PM To: Kais Al-Essa Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [menog] MENOG 8: Thank you Turkey is one of the best locations ---------------------- Hani Abuelkhair Sent from my iPhone Cell: 965 99883327 On May 24, 2011, at 21:27, Kais Al-Essa <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Nasser, Thanks for your suggestion. We try to balance between two main things: - Being in an easy country is good as it will allow more people to attend the meeting from around the globe. - However, we have an obligation to try to visit as many countries as possible. For Saudi Arabia, Visas are possible and when we did MENOG6 in Riyadh, we had an excellent show of visitors who managed to get their Visa on time. Note that you just need to plan earlier. Having said the above, we would like to hear your ideas on alternative locations. Our next meeting is planned for Muscat, Oman.
