This is an irreverent look at traveling through Thailand, Nepal, Oman, Lebanon and Egypt. It also has a very different look at living in the UAE, with spoofs on the Dubai malls and behind the scenes discoveries by this American Expat.Author: Forrest Walker Kindle Edition: 317 pages Kindle eBook Company: Soon to be a Major Motion Picture Publishing (2011-01-14) (2011-01-14) List Price: $1.99 Amazon Price: 
Discover Syria and Lebanon. Includes FREE planning and background information. What Beirut is depends entirely on where you are. If you’re gazing at the beautifully reconstructed colonial relics and mosques of central Beirut’s Downtown, the city is a triumph of rejuvenation over disaster. If you’re in the young, vibrant neighbourhoods of Gemmayzeh or Achrafiye, Beirut is about living for the moment: partying, eating and drinking as if there’s no tomorrow. If you’re standing in the shadow of buildings still peppered with bullet holes, or walking the Green Line with an elderly resident, it’s a city of bitter memories and a dark past. If you’re with Beirut’s Armenians, Beirut is about salvation; if you’re with its handful of Jews, it’s about hiding your true identity. Here you’ll find the freest gay scene in the Arab Middle East, yet homosexuality is still illegal. If you’re in one of Beirut’s southern refugee camps, Beirut is about sorrow and displacement; other southern districts are considered a base for paramilitary operations and south Beirut is home to infamous Hezbollah secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah. For some, it’s a city of fear; for others, freedom. Author: Amelia Thomas Kindle Edition: 363 pages Kindle eBook Company: Lonely Planet - A (2008-07-01) (2008-07-01) List Price: $5.99 Amazon Price: 
Discover Syria and Lebanon. Includes FREE planning and background information. Northern Lebanon is considered by many people - locals and visitors alike - to be the country-s greatest, greenest, cleanest natural asset. The gorgeous World Heritage-listed Qadisha Valley, hidden deep beneath the mountains east of Tripoli, provides a tranquil escape for hikers from the fast-paced Lebanese development of the cities and the coastal strip. A dramatically different face of Lebanon-s north lies in tightly-packed Tripoli, with its busy medieval souqs, historic fortress and the workaday port of Al-Mina.

Discover Syria and Lebanon. Includes FREE planning and background information. Mt Lebanon, the traditional stronghold of the Maronites, is the heartland of modern Lebanon, comprising several distinct areas that together stretch out to form a rough oval around Beirut, each home to a host of treasures easily accessible on day trips from the capital. To the south, the lush green Chouf Mountains, where springs and streams irrigate the region’s plentiful crops of olives, apples and grapes, are the traditional home of Lebanon’s Druze population. The mountains hold a cluster of delights, including one real and one not-so-real palace – Beiteddine and Moussa respectively – as well as the expansive Chouf Cedar Reserve and Deir al-Qamar, one of the prettiest small towns in Lebanon.

Discover Syria and Lebanon. Includes FREE planning and background information. Heading south from Damascus towards the Jordanian border is a region of fertile agricultural land, rolling hills and fruit orchards that gives way to harsh, rocky basalt plains (known as the Hauran) straddling the Syria–Jordan border. The black rock gives the villages and towns a peculiar, brooding quality that is best appreciated at Bosra. With its impressive Roman remains and one of the world’s best-preserved Roman theatres, it’s one of Syria’s highlights and a must-do day trip from Damascus. The intriguing Druze towns of Suweida, Shahba and Qanawat can be visited on the same trip. Suweida has a well-regarded museum while the ruins of Shahba and Qanawat are worth a wander.

On turning forty the author leaves Paris and the West for Asia. En route he spends a Summer teaching English in Beirut, a city that was once a byword for civil war, terrorism and the clash between East and West. Twenty years after the war ended, there are still scarred buildings and psyches, and religious and ethnic fault lines, but the country has been reborn. Few countries have had so long and complex a history, and few so tortured a recent past, but Lebanon has emerged from it all with a beauty that belies its history and a face that beguiles all comers. It is exciting, fresh and vibrant, and tired of being branded as a Civil War nightmare.Join the author as he tries to understand the fascinating complexities of post-war Lebanon, and how Christians and Muslims manage to live together, and to live with the factions within their own community, and to live with the Palestinians, and to live with their interfering neighbours, Israel and Syria, and to do all of this and keep a smile of their face. At a more practical level, learn about Lebanese families and their pan-dimensional networks of cousins, the unwritten laws of the shared taxi and why a working knowledge of numerology is useful if you want to buy a SIM Card. You also learn how to get from A to B, using only hand signals, terrible French and a sunny disposition. Travel with the author out of Beirut to visit the Phoenician city state of Byblos, the Roman ruins of Baalbek, the Crusader castles of Tripoli and the mosques and souqs of the Arabs. You can even take the road to Damascus. Author: Phillip Donnelly Kindle Edition: 104 pages Kindle eBook Company: (2012-04-08) (2012-04-08) List Price: Amazon Price: 
After making it out of the Balkans the worlds worst traveller decided it was time to choose a more peaceful and stable place to take his fortnight off work – and where better than the Middle East?As such the man, who any reasonable country wouldn’t even grant a passport, travelled to Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt. On this largely pointless journey he visits some of the amazing sights the region has to offer – such as Petra, the Pyramids and the Old City of Damascus, but also gets to meet exciting locals such as the fat Israeli guy who decided he was a threat to the future of the Jewish state. As well as the fake Egyptian policeman and the Syrian bus station attendant he suspected was a member of the secret police (or he might just have been there to mop the floor, hard to say) Author: Tom Burnett Kindle Edition: 101 pages Kindle eBook Company: (2012-01-23) (2012-01-23) List Price: Amazon Price:

Both Syria and Lebanon still labour under their media stereotypes as places of religious fanaticism, terrorism and intractable conflict. True, the region has had more than its fair share of wars, atrocities and suffering, and the Arab-Israeli conflict continues to cast its tragic shadow. Indeed, this is a conflict which goes right back to the dawn of history, resonating through the Old Testament stories of the origins of the Israelites, and the Exodus, when Moses led his people from exile in Egypt back to the Promised Land. But these same twists of religion, history and geography are also what makes this such a fascinating region to visit. Forget your preconceptions and go see for yourself; the day-to-day reality on the ground is a world away from the media stereotypes. Rather, you will find yourself stepping into a wonderful world of breathtakingly beautiful and well preserved historic monuments, stunning scenery, delicious food and diverse peoples.
