Description
The Middle East is not only one of the most fascinating regions in the world but also the cradle of urbanization. Whether its cities have been built out of clay or of stone, for the dead or for the living, organic or planned, barely visible or still centers of their modern cultures, they have one thing in common---they are unforgettable, telling our shared history even as they have been and continue to be in the middle of international conflicts. Join us to learn more about the following: Giza, Egypt; Ur, Iraq; Damascus, Syria; Jerusalem, Israel; Mecca, Saudi Arabia; and Istanbul, Turkey.
