Middle East Beirut to Jerusalem

Post #1 - August 19th, 2017, 12:32 pmLana and I are taking a monthlong trip to the Middle East in November with stops in Beirut, Cairo, Amman & Petra, ending up in Israel(Jerusalem, Akko, and Tel Aviv). Sadly, I haven't found much information on LTH. Most is pretty old. Does anyone have more recent dining suggestions? I've gotten some help from Zimmern and Bourdain and a few articles and websites but I'd rather hear from all of you."I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day." Frank Sinatra

In Jerusalem you have to visit the Mahane Yehuda market (and visit the Hachapuriya on a side street - make sure you order one with an egg baked on top).

Another strong recommendation for Mahane Yehuda market in Jerusalem. If you make it to Haifa, the German quarter (at bottom of hill where Bahai HQ is) is full if good cafes, etc.
