Default Botanical Gardens in the Middle East

Doing precedent research on existing botanical gardens in the Middle
East. Can anyone point me to a resource or provide names of any
notable examples in this climate? Does anyone know of any with
architectural facilities such as conservatories.

Any and all help will be much appreciated.

There are no botanical gardens in the middle east since the muslims took
over. Muslims don't know jack shit about growing things, and don't care
about anything except beheading innicent people.

You want to invade my country on some trumped up excuse, you can be sure I
will be the first to lump all your people into one category and deal with
them with all the means at my disposal.

Personally, I prefer to pike someone in the skull and let them bleed to
death slowly, but that's just my preference.

oh yeah ... Go crawl back into your hole, punk.

Don't worry, Crash Test Dummy speaks only for those brew guzzling red-necks
that shoot off their mouths and run away at the sight of any real danger
like that idiot Dubya and his profiteering buddies that are currently
running the USA into the ground. I really can't believe that dim wit ferengi
is actually ahead in the polls.

That's because liberals live in their own little world without any idea
what's going on in the real world. Fortunately, most of the rest of the
country has a clue.

Hypothetical situation: Your 4 yr old child is diagnosed with brain cancer.
Surgery will save her. Without the surgery, she'll be dead in a month.
Obviously, you want to meet the surgeon and make sure you're comfortable
with him/her. You meet. For one hour, the surgeon completely mangles the
English language to the point where you and your spouse are tapping each
other's ankles under the table as if to say "How the hell do we get out of
this conversation gracefully?"

Would you hire that surgeon, or find another?

Yeah, sure liberals live in their own little world. We get all our
information from Pat Robberson, Rush Limbo and Ann Cutter. When we see
state sponsored propaganda masquerading as a recruitment video, we
believe it. Join the Airforce and become a glorified gas station
attendent. Yeah, daddy I'm going ship off and be a hero. It's
important. Freedom. Kill people. Hero. Blah blah.

You claim to have some idea of what is going on in the rest of the
world, but I doubt you even know what's really going on in your own
country.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go tell the servant to white wash the
picket fence and I am already late for my tennis doubles with Biff and
Buffy and then off to buy a gift for my broker. I really do need to
find a new chauffeur ... I mean 'driver' ... my faux pas. Oh dear me,
I've done it again. I must have had too much _chardonay_ last night.
Oh, and did my boys ship the Statue of Liberty back yet? Yes, because
this is the little liberal world that I live in.

I have a friend named Google.

Here is a list of Botanic Gardens in Israel.

http://www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/systa...ns/israel.html

Here is a link to a site that can help you search for Herbaria in a
country of your choice. Most Middle Eastern countries appear to have
several Botanic Gardens or Herbaria.

The Hebrew University has one, but I've never been there so I don't know what
they have.
Also there is a Biblical botanical garden in Israel called Neot Kedumim. It is
a very rich resource, but is in severe financial trouble. You can find both of
these places on the Web.
