The insight and humor make it a "must" for anyone about to visit the Arabic Middle East. I've given it as a gift to several friends and colleagues, and read it again regularly - especially when returning to the region.

A fun, light read. Lots of humor and details about Arab culture. This book covers Egypt, Sudan, Iran, Beirut, Yemen, Dubai, Oman, Libya ... and Iraq. An important read if you intend to visit one of these places!

Even though this was written back in the 1990s, the stories still ring true in 2011. Horwitz is a fearless traveler and wonderful writer, he shares his experiences with real people.
