Can't study abroad in middle east?

<p>hi</p>

<p>i am a new freshman and i was trying to look for study abroad programs in the middle east and i didn’t really see any programs except for israel, which would be interesting but I am sort of looking to study abroad elsewhere. </p>

<p>i was wondering if anyone has ever done the independent study abroad thing and have had success or would recommend it because i am really interested in taking arabic courses in an arabic speaking country if even possible >.></p>

<p>thanks</p>
