I have visited India, Sri Lanka and Nepal many times and I like them all very much. And the same with Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, HongKong, China and Japan. But I have never visited any Arab countries eg. Saudi Arabia, Iran,  Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria etc. because I'm not sure how safe these countries are for western citizens (christians) from Europe and Northern America. I'm sure all remember Saddam Hussein and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the Islamic State.
