That’s the question we’ve posed to Matador readers this week. In What Every American Should Know About the Middle East, Matador Video Editor Joshua Johnson interviews Melissa Rossi, a special correspondent for Newsweek and author of the recently published What Every American Should Know About the Middle East.

Matador Pulse Editor Eva Holland recently introduced us to the Middle Eastern geography quiz designed to test your knowledge of the region.

Dreaming in Arabic, Learning in Yemen by Baxter Jackson spotlights Yemen as a viable location to study Arabic, while Benjamin Orbach takes us on a journey through 6 Under-the-Radar Destinations In The Middle East.
