Description
Find your own journey. The Middle East’s historic cities and great cultural monuments can open up many questions and new interests. This regional guide provides a broad geographical and cultural overview, covering both well-known sites and material that helps you understand the connections between them.
Experiences and content. The book covers Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. Lonely Planet combines destination descriptions, maps and itineraries with background on history, food culture and local life. The broad coverage makes the guide a useful starting point for exploring the region’s culture in more depth and for choosing which areas to read more about.
Who is this book suitable for? This is a regional guide from 2024. Use it as a foundation for places and culture; current borders, entry requirements, transport and travel advice must be checked separately before any trip. The book is not an ongoing assessment of current travel conditions.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A trip with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience.
A physical book is also nice to return to during the planning process. Bring it out when discussing the next stage, find an idea you had noted, and let the plan develop as you become more familiar with the possibilities.
