Driving side
Cars in Syria drive on the right. So do Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and United Arab Emirates, which are also in the Middle East. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Syria
