Levantine Routes has reached a global audience in a short time period. I wanted to thank all the readers and contributors who enjoy this site. Apart from the United States, fans this past month have come predominately from Iraq, Israel, the United Kingdom, Myanmar, Australia and Lebanon.
Thank you for your continued interest!

In terms of both style/form and content, Levantine Routes is one of the most informative and pleasant publications to read. The content is not just informative but is also characterized by its avoidance of extremes and is devoid of inflammatory appeals.
