Sure, perhaps like the Nuclear facility in Deir ez zor ! Syria is a very nice country to visit by the way, and at least there is interaction with the local people :) In the top floor of this place there is a gigantic panorama that is supposed to look like the Syria/Israel border, with soldiers in paper and sounds, very colorfull, very kitch.

It looks like North Koreans contributed to the museum in Cairo as well. If you have pictures of it, I would love to see them. Dear Fhar,

There, it is called the October War Panorama (the Egyptians use the word "October" instead of the Levantine "Tishreen"), and it is rather more extensive. I never wrote a post about it, but I did take some pictures and could post them on flickr if you're interested.
