All three countries have rich cultural and historical backgrounds. Lebanon’s diversity and conflict-ridden past, Jordan’s role as a regional player with historical sites, and Oman’s maritime heritage set them apart.

Jordan was home to ancient civilizations such as the Nabateans (with the famous city of Petra) and Romans. 

Lebanon is shaped by a blend of Phoenician, Roman, Ottoman, and French influences. Beirut, once considered the "Paris of the Middle East," has a long history of being a centre of commerce, culture, and education.

Oman has a unique and ancient history as a seafaring nation. It was once a major maritime power, influencing trade routes in the Indian Ocean.
