Absolutely! I have read quite a few of his books and always enjoy them.

He is the ULTIMATE travel writer.

I’ve only been to Dubai and Qatar, but in our travels next year we hope to get to Jordan, Iran and Oman. The culture is so fascinating!

I have somewhat of a fascination with the Middle East, despite only ever having visited one country in the area, so I may need to invest in The Carpet Wars come payday!

Thanks Skyring. Perhaps I should look into that Visa soon then 🙂 I had a quick look ages ago but don’t remember seeing anything too onerous. We will be getting it on the road somewhere, so I hope that doesn’t make it more complicated.

As well as Iran, in the Middle East we have Qatar, UAE, Oman, Jordan and perhaps Israel on the list. Not sure we’ll get to them all, but they are possibles.

Thanks Carol. I enjoyed seeing your photos of India, and am definitely excited to get there next year!

I loved “Holy Cow” and always knew I would travel to India.
Rajasthan is fabulous…. maybe Rishikesh and Dharmasala next time.
Will definitely look into “The Accidental Adventurer” and “The Carpet Wars”.

Very interested to see you’re keen on Iran. Hope you’ve got your planning shoes on – just getting a visa can be a long process. I’m going back for two weeks in April, and I can’t wait to get on the plane!
