Other than being drawn to Turkey for it's architectural significance and Lebanon for it's exoticism, I need something stronger, a firmly burning question, to drive purpose into my July expedition.
I am both inspired and intimidated by Bas Princen's photos of Istanbul, Beirut, Amman, Cairo, and Dubai I recently found on bldgblog.
Beirut
Dubai
I would like to enjoy myself there, but also come away with: excellent photos, descriptive sketches, heritage souvenirs, and a richly educational experience.
So I have a lot of cultural reading to do, in addition to logistical planning.
$3500 is not a fortune and airfare is expensive. But fear not... this is NOT me complaining!! Only starting to get excited =)
