The Lebanese make Arak, which is basically the same as Ouzo. It is very very strong. I don’t know who made it first.

They’re both anise liquors and have a similar taste, but they are not the same.

I believe classic arak from the North Africa and the Middle East is made from grapes and anise only while ouzo also includes grains and some other spices. Arak apparently dates to the 12th century.
