There are many reasons why it might seem unwise to walk, mostly alone, through the Middle East. That, in part, is exactly why Leon McCarron did it.

From Jerusalem, McCarron followed a series of wild hiking trails that trace ancient trading and pilgrimage routes and traverse some of the most contested landscapes in the world. In the West Bank, he met families struggling to lead normal lives amidst political turmoil and had a surreal encounter with the world's oldest and smallest religious sect. In Jordan, he visited the ruins of Hellenic citadels and trekked through the legendary Wadi Rum. His journey culminated in the vast deserts of the Sinai, home to Bedouin tribes and haunted by the ghosts of Biblical history.

The Land Beyond is a journey through time, from the quagmire of current geopolitics to the original ideals of the faithful, through the layers of history, culture and religion that have shaped the Holy Land. But at its heart, it is the story of people, not politics and of the connections that can bridge seemingly insurmountable barriers.

Really interesting subject....an astonishing journey...however,

Distracted.....

A fascinating insight to the holy land from the ground up, a skilful story that covers the area in a good level of detail from the various peoples that call it home. The sections on the Bedouin are the most insightful. 100% worth a read if you wanted to know more about this section of the Middle East

In depth account of a walk through the holy land

Interesting and balanced interpretation of one mans journey through Palestine /Israel. For me the perfect balance of narrative on the trails of the journey, the story of the people Henry and the political undercurrents. Love this book definitely worth a read/listen
