A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Anthony Ham first landed in Damascus in 1998 and couldn't bear to leave. He stayed three months and returns at every available opportunity. His first job for Lonely Planet was the Iraq chapter of this guide back in 1999, and he has since written or contributed to the guides to Jordan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Libya, and five editions of this Middle East guide. He has also worked in Australla as a refugee lawyer, with clients from the Middle East, and has a Masters degree in Middle Eastern politics. Anthony is now based in Madrid and wntes for magazines and newspapers around the world. Hailng from southwest England, Stuart Butler has travelled widely throughout the Middle East. Visiting Iraq for Lonely Planet, though, was one of the most enjoyable travel experiences he has ever had - rarely has he encountered a country with such a genuinely friendly and welcoming population. Stuart's travels for Lonely Planet and various surf magazines have also taken him beyond Iraq - from the desert beaches of Yemen to the coastal jungles of Colombo. He lives in southwest France with his wife and son. Zora O'Neill lived in Cairo in the 1990s white working on her Masters degree in Arabic literature and has contributed to more than a dozen guidebooks, including two editions of Lonely Planet's Egypt. She writes about food and travel for the New York Times and Conde Nast Traveler, and is currently working on a book about Arabic language and travel in the Middle East. She lives in Astoria, Queens. While working as a veterinarian for an Arabian Prince in the UAE, Olivia Pozzan travelled extensively throughout the Gulf region and the Middle East, developing an affinity for its magnificent deserts and rugged landscapes. She has contributed to a dozen Lonely Planet guidebooks, from Australia to Italy and the Middle East. While researching Lebanon for this edition, she experienced an incredible hike through a night-time snowstorm. When not exploring the world's most exotic places, she lives the Aussie beach lifestyle and is a practising veterinarian.
