Hi all, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria are open to all Arab Nationalities. Also Turkey(no visas required for Jordanians), UAE are also easy and has no complications( you get it with the ticket). Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman are quite complex (yet obtainable).
I suggest we hold it in Egypt next time as it does not require a visa to enter.

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.
