Loved it! A fascinating tour written by an erudite and witty guide. 'Nobody but William Dalrymple-and possibly Patrick Leigh Fermor- could have produced so compulsively readable book' says one of the dust cover reviews and i agree. The book finishes off through the West Bank and then finally through to Egypt, to the very 1st monastry, St Antony's: "What you say is true,' said Fr.Dioscuros with a smile. 'You can pray anywhere. After all, God is everywhere, so you can find him everywhere.' He gestured to the darkening sand dunes outside;'But in the desert, in the pure clean atmosphere, in the silence- there you can find yourself. And unless you begin to know yourself, how can you even begin to search for God?"
