The Summary

Middle East-The land of neverending conflict, struggle and dispute.Three weeks of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon,Jordan and Sinai, Egypt. This is where epic cities of antiquity rub shoulders and architectural aspiration.Prior to that pre-backpacking to Toscana Italia, summer 2009 will long be remembered. Predominantly an Islamic region,it is one of the most misunderstood region and religion in the world.
