The Middle East is many things: the cradle of life, misunderstood, deeply complicated, hospitable. From the Pyramids to Damascus this history associated with this diverse area is some of the most interesting in the world.

As with all parts of the world, it's important to put your best tourist foot forward. One way to do this is to 'Leave only footsteps and take only photos'. Another way is to learn a little of the local language. A little effort goes a long way in this part of the world.

Due to the complexity of the script this eBook is not for people who're going to start down the road to fluency. This isn't full immersion, it's more like dipping your toe into the Nile which will enable you to, among other things, be polite and respectful to your hosts, barter for souvenirs and communicate during emergencies.
