There is also a Faro in Yukon Territory, Canada (although it's too small to be a city).

Okay kids, It's story time! There was once a Faro in Egypt even though he came from Portugal. Long story short, he died like 5000 years ago. THE END!

It means lighthouse, no surprise it's a common name

Seriously? No... Faro comes from a name, Harun. It used to be called Santa Maria Ibn Harun, Harun morphed into Faaron. (Harun being the equivalent of the name Aaron) It has nothing to do with with a lighthouse and/or pharos.

And even still, Pharos does not mean lighthouse. If I'm not mistaken the lighthouse of Alexandria is called Pharos after the island it was build on, not the other way around.

Faro, Yukon was actually named after the card game.

My mom was born there... it was a mining town that almost became a ghost town after the mine shut down in the 80s. All the work was gone so fewer than 50 people stayed living there. My grandpa was a miner in Faro and my grandma worked as a nurse at the hospital and they left soon after the mine shut down as they were out of a job

At its peak, the Faro mine was the largest open lead-zinc mine in the world

This was the fate of so many Canadian small towns. All built around a single form of resource extraction, usually logging or mining or sometimes fishing. Unlike Faro which now has a few thousand inhabitants, many of them didn't make it and were boarded up and abandoned. It's cool to tell these stories sometimes

It was interesting being there, especially during Holi. Though my enjoyment was somewhat impeded by the fact that my mother and I were both still suffering the effects of food poisoning and only had a day to spend there.

You don't have to be Muslim to visit Madina. You just can't go into the mosques, specifically the Masjid-un-Nabwi, or holy places. Otherwise, you are allowed to visit the city itself.

Both Mecca and Medina are off limits to non-Muslims. I didn't go to Medina but I went to Mecca. I got stopped and asked for my Muslim ID card several times.

There's a Nassau in Germany. It was important historically: William of Orange was from there. (Which is why they later named a Bahamanian city after it.)
