A lot of diverse cities, a few of which I may have missed.

Amman seems to be both interesting to visit and has a high quality of life. Second to that is Beirut, a beautiful and interesting city which isn’t that ideal to live in what with the mistakes of the Lebanese government.

Probably Mecca since they're turning it into a tackler version of Las Vegas (great city), but I'll presumably never be able to verify that first hand.

Egypt obviously, it's the greatest city, in the world due to pyramids

Beirut is the one I want to visit the most by far. Easy choice to me. Cairo and Jerusalem would also be cool.

I don’t really have much curiosity about Dubai.

I've aways wanted to go to Beirut ever since reading Don DeLillo in Global Lit.

Beirut, because I refuse to characterize Jerusalem as an "Arab city".

I don't know.  Voted Tunis, which could also have been on the Francophone cities poll.

Only one I've visited is Jerusalem, but it was one of my favorite cities to visit.  Very interesting history.   Old City in particular quite fascinating.  Yes it is Jewish city too but split however anyone who has visited it will realize line separating East and West Jerusalem is not so obvious.

As above it's both Jewish and Arab, the eastern half of the city containing more than 300,000 Arabic speakers on territory internationally recognised as that of an Arab state.
