From Cairo to Tel Aviv

“Mamdouh Sakr is a British/ Egyptian architect and Islamic architecture historian, who is addicted to travel. In addition to his academic research, he wrote three travel books published in English, (Did you try Qat? 2012, Spaghetti in Harar, 2014 and From Cairo to Tel Aviv, 2015). Where he gathered his experiences and encounters in a number of countries. Then by the beginning of 2016, he began writing in Arabic, a he wrote a slightly different version of, “From Cairo to Tel Aviv”. This book is a bit special as it tells his journey to Palestine, where he visited Jerusalem, al Khalil, Bethlehem, Acre and Jaffa. His wanderings are woven by long conversations with Palestinians living under different circumstances, some are funny, some are heartbreaking and others are simply intriguing.”
