I will lol, and assume you have no Arab friends, specifically Lebanese.
The Lebanese passport, as my numerous Lebanese friends joke about, is usually ranked in the top ten worst worldwide "top 10" comedy lists. But seriously, it is on par with this metric for Somalia and other failed African states. You try going with the employed ones on business outside of the UAE, and you will see how much fun this metric can be for you.
- rosser 11y agoCan confirm. I was recently traveling back to (well, in her case through) the US from overseas with a Lebanese friend. When we got to the point in the customs/immigration process where they decide whose knickers to rifle through, and who merely gets a "Welcome to America", guess which of us got which. This is her normal. She's missed connecting flights, plural, because of the increased scrutiny. I'm expecting to be subject to all kinds of extra scrutiny myself, after I visit there later this year. I'm sure having a Lebanese entry stamp on my passport will raise plenty of eyebrows going forward.
- bluerobotcat 11y agoI have lived in two developing countries. I would by no means dismiss the usefulness of a passport from a modern country.
