From Mosques to Palaces, Seeing the Sights in the Middle East

Among our destinations: a kaleidoscopic mosque in Iran that comes to life with vibrant color when the sun shines through its stained glass windows; in Yemen, a palace that is literally perched atop a rock (and not as old as you might think); and a resilient hotel in Lebanon that has survived war and economic depression since it opened in 1874.
