Jordan should be the top of anyone's list. It was really amazing. And while there's some trouble happening in Lebanon, to me it's not worth putting off a trip if that's what you want to do. During the war in the Balkans, people traveled literally through an active war to get to Medjugorje. As far as I know, no pilgrims ever died in Yugoslavia en route, and that was way more violent than anywhere in the Middle East, except Syria. There was a window in about 2011 when you could go to Syria. Now, I would plan roughly for 2015.
I don't mean to be crass, but next time you hear about violence in one of those countries, count heads. Is it worse than how many got killed last week in Chicago or New York or LA? And yet you wouldn't think twice about going to New York to go Christmas shopping.
