May and June: Middle East


Walk around Doha
On their trip from Syria to Sri Lanka, our travelers took advantage of a long layover in the Persian Gulf to explore Doha, Qatar.

Ghosts of the Golan Heights
Longjaunt explores the remains of the once prosperous town of Quneitra, destroyed by the Israeli military during Israels occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights.

Damascus' Old City
Discover the vibrant buzz of Damascus, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, with our travelers.

Leaving Beirut
Although their visit was only seven days long, our travelers saw Lebanon go through quite a bit of change.

The celebration continues
On the heels of a fresh power-sharing agreement and the election of a new president, the Lebanese continue to celebrate their new found peace.

Celebrating change
In just a few days the fighting in the streets of Lebanon turned into partying after the election of a new president.

A slice of Lebanon
Rising early to squeeze in as many different sides of Lebanon as humanly possible, our travelers start their day with a visit to the ancient Roman ruins at Baalbek.

Meet the people of Beirut
Lebanon is home to at least 19 different ethnicities and its capital city, Beirut, is no different. Explore the neighborhoods with our travelers.

Finally, Beirut
Our travelers get to Beirut -- just days removed from civil war and discover a changing political landscape.

Beirut or bust
Initially hesitant to visit Lebanon, LongJaunt presses on to Beirut after hearing that fighting has ceased.
