Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-08 00:00:00 Stuart Rinehart O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another... The Quran 49:13. This was a courageous travelogue of two artists crisscrossing across the MiddleEast looking for inspiration. They choose to drive across the waste lands from Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq and Israel. They discover a strange brand of Islam which means different to different cultures. The book is a quick page turner. I loved the way author presented his various experiences across the very diverse cultures. The best bit for me was their time spend in Iran which I think they enjoyed the most. Very brave young men.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-14 00:00:00 Steven Ojeda This is a book about two British artists in their late 20's who bought a truck they named Yasmine and who set off to tour the Middle East just before (and during) the war with Baghdad after 9/11. The author, Henry Hemming, has written an informative and enlightening book about these countries and their people. It was a delightful read and I learned a lot about the Middle East. Highly recommended.
