Having traveled from the mysterious souks of Damascus and ancient “Dead Cities” of Northern Syria to the hidden cliff city of Jordan’s Petra to the chic nightlife and galleries of Beirut (often called “The Paris of the Middle East”) Diane LeBow and John Montgomery will share tales and images from their recent month-long pilgrimage among these crossroads of some of our earliest civilizations. Diane and John debunk prevalent myths about this region and tell about exploring backroads and byways and enjoying the hospitality, safety and comfort of travel in this region, which is known as The Levant. Diane is the President of the Bay Area Travel Writers, and John is an Advisory Board member of the American Society of Media Photographers. Venue information to come in your email.
