DVD Reviews of Globe Trekker: Middle East
DVD Review: Video tours of Middle Eastern countries
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a set of two DVDs containing four programs (about 50 minutes each) from the "Globe Trekker" TV series:
(1) "Syria, Jordan and Lebanon" with Ian Wright;
(2) "Israel and Sinai" with Justine Shapiro;
(3) "The Arab Gulf States" (includes Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman) with Megan McCormick; and
(4) "Short History of the Middle East," which incorporates numerous clips from other Globe Trekker programs, including the others in this set.
Our youngish British and American guides take us on interesting and informative tours of countries that I for one will probably never visit in person. I enjoyed my armchair travels (and I now have a much better grasp of Middle Eastern geography).
As I'd hoped, the programs include a number of brief segments that I might use in teaching world religions: on the Wailing Wall, Masada, the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, a kibbutz, Mount Sinai, the Dead Sea, the Via Dolorosa, Roman ruins in Ephesus, the first Christian monastery (in Egypt, founded by St. Antony), the Dome of the Rock, the Hagia Sophia, and the Sultan Ahmet Mosque in Istanbul. And the "Short History" program includes a one-minute history of the major empires in the Middle East, with a nifty animated map showing their expansion and decline.

Description of Globe Trekker: Middle East
Double-DVD set contains four shows: The Arab Gulf States, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, Israel & the Sinai Desert, and a Short History Special. Known as the "cradle of civilization", the Middle East is the meeting point between Africa, Europe and Asia, and contains some of the most beautiful and mystical scenery in the world. Unfortunately, due to cultural and political complexities, only a handful of visitors get to experience the genuine hospitality of the people and see the region's stunning ancient cities. Traveler Ian Wright starts his journey in Jordan's Wadi Rum Desert, traveling south past the ruins at Petra and then on to Beirut in Lebanon. He ends his journey in Syria at the ancient town of Palmyra. Further south, traveler Megan McCormick visits battle scarred Kuwait before traveling on to Dubai and finally Oman. Justine Shapiro completes the journey traveling through Israel and the Sinai Desert. Along the way... · Witness a Sufi ritual and the mystical order of the Whirling Dervishes · Revel in the festivities of Liberation Day on the streets of Kuwait City · Play a round of golf with one of the most flamboyant sheiks in Arabia · Spend the night in a stable in Jerusalem · Climb Mount Sinai in Egypt Additional Short History Special Join regular Globe Trekkers Justine Shapiro, Ian Wright and Megan McCormick on a historical whistle stop tour of the Middle East. Follow them discovering the major historic sites that have shaped its empires, religions and conflictsBestsellers in DVD
