I personally have been to most of my country's fair provinces even Erbil, and been to Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai this year. The regional conflicts have made everything significantly cheaper; 5-star hotels are now priced like 2- or 3-star hotels, and destinations aren't nearly as crowded as they usually are. For instance, when we normally visit Beirut, Tripoli, and Sour (Tyre), all the tourist attractions and restaurants are packed, but last time it was much quieter. In Iran, cities like Mashhad, Tehran, Qom, and Rasht are usually so congested with traffic that public transportation feels like the better option. Yet, last July, traffic was so light you could easily drive at over 100 km/h, if it were legal, of course. As for Dubai, well, that place is still expensive, but it's noticeably cheaper than before. Even Egypt has become much more affordable: $1,000 for four days, including tickets to the Shakira concert (with most of the cost going toward the concert tickets), whereas it would usually cost at least $1,500 without a concert or a lame one like Amr Diab, that guy makes a concert every month and his music ain't that good. We might go, but only if our plans for a second vacation to Saudi Arabia fall through.
Some people think it's unethical and dangerous to travel to regions affected by conflict for a vacation, but our family has been doing it for years. My uncles went on a trip to Karbala, Najaf, Baghdad, and Erbil back in 2004 when the resistance and the US Army were killing each other, so my travels and my family's trips over the past three years certainly aren't as dangerous as driving around during the Iraq War. However, American bombings have delayed several of our flights during our last trip to Iran in July, though at least the Iranian airports are nice to sleep in. Because of Houthi missiles and drones hitting Saudi airports, I think we might be forced to take a road trip for our next Saudi vacation instead of flying. I just hope everything calms down and gets resolved by winter break.
I don't think of it as bravery but as frugality. I mean it was pretty safe except for the US bombing that leads to airspace closure.
