The table below gives an overview of all host cities of the Pan Arab Games.
Typically the games are to take place every four years. Initially Lebanon was set to host the 2015 XIII Arab Games, but the country "withdrew because of the crisis in the Middle East".<ref name="insidethegames1">{{cite web|last=Mackay |first=Duncan |url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1023284/pan-arab-games-2015-in-doubt-after-morocco-pull-out-over-financial-fears |title=Pan Arab Games 2015 in doubt after Morocco pull out over financial fears |publisher=Insidethegames.biz |date=17 October 2014 |access-date=23 April 2017}}</ref> Following Beirut's withdrawal Morocco was then chosen to host the games, but faced financial complications and also withdrew.<ref name="insidethegames1"/>


The same year, Egypt volunteered to host the event. "Sheikh Khalid Al Zubair, chairman of the ] (OOC)" said, "We will be offering our full support to Egypt and we have also taken a decision to suspend the financial regulations and other requirements due to lack of time."<ref>{{cite web|last=Mackay |first=Duncan |url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1025902/egypt-set-to-host-2015-arab-games-after-two-countries-withdraw |title=Egypt set to host 2015 Arab Games after two countries withdraw |publisher=Insidethegames.biz |date=2 March 2015 |access-date=23 April 2017}}</ref> Had the UANOC accepted Egypt's proposition the games would have taken place in December 2015; however, no such event was held.

Games

The Arab Games (Arabic: الألعاب العربية), formerly called the Pan-Arab Games, are a regional multi-sport event held between nations from the Arab world. They are organized by the Union of Arab National Olympic Committees. The first Games took place in 1953 in Alexandria, Egypt. Intended to be held every four years since, political turmoil and financial difficulties have made the event an unstable one. Women first competed in 1985.

Complications

Typically the games are to take place every four years. Initially Lebanon was set to host the 2015 XIII Arab Games, but the country "withdrew because of the crisis in the Middle East". Following Beirut's withdrawal Morocco was then chosen to host the games, but faced financial complications and also withdrew.

The same year, Egypt volunteered to host the event. "Sheikh Khalid Al Zubair, chairman of the Oman Olympic Committee (OOC)" said, "We will be offering our full support to Egypt and we have also taken a decision to suspend the financial regulations and other requirements due to lack of time." Had the UANOC accepted Egypt's proposition the games would have taken place in December 2015; however, no such event was held.
