Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Jordan
Jordan’s small coastline (about 26 km) lies on the Gulf of Aqaba/Red Sea; it has no frontage on the Mediterranean. By contrast, Syria, Lebanon and Israel all possess Mediterranean coastlines. Hence Jordan is the only country in the list that does not open out to the Mediterranean Sea.([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Mediterranean?utm_source=openai))
