Desert Bonds - A Father & Son's Middle East Odyssey' is a deeply personal and thought-provoking travelogue offering a timely perspective on the Middle East chronicling a 3,500-kilometre road trip undertaken by the father-son duo through Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Palestine in 2024, just months after the Hamas attack on Israel. Their 22-day journey explored historic sites such as Baalbek, Palmyra, and Petra, and included deeply moving experiences such as the Holy Fire Easter celebration in Jerusalem. They visited the annual Holocaust memorial ceremony at Yad Vashem and met Palestinian police officers in Bethlehem.
What makes the book stand is that it offers a personal reflection on the history, conflict, and cultural resilience of the region, all brought to life with great photography and vivid storytelling.
