About This Book

A travel narrative describes an overland ride from the Mediterranean across the plains of Sharon and Esdraelon to Nazareth, an ascent of Mount Hermon, and onward visits to Damascus, the Anti-Lebanon and the Roman ruins of Baalbec. It combines practical route notes and encounters with Bedouin and Druse communities, vivid landscape and antiquities descriptions, and reflections on ruined villages, ancient fountains, and classical and biblical sites. Chapters alternate between itinerary, local color, archaeological observation, and illustrated topographical sketches.
