SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL WRITING AWARDS TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023In 2015, as the Syrian War raged and the refugee crisis reached its peak, Rebecca Lowe set off on her bicycle across the Middle East. Driven by a desire to learn more about this troubled region and its relationship with the West, Lowe's 11,000-kilometre journey took her through Europe to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, the Gulf and finally to Iran.

It was an odyssey through landscapes and history that captured her heart, but also a deeply challenging cycle across mountains, deserts and repressive police states that nearly defeated her. Plagued by punctures and battling temperatures ranging from -6 to 48C, Lowe was rescued frequently by farmers and refugees, villagers and urbanites alike, and relied almost entirely on the kindness and hospitality of locals to complete this living portrait of the modern Middle East.

This is her evocative, deeply researched and often very funny account of her travels - and the people, politics and culture she encountered.

'Terrifically compelling... bursting with humour, adventure and insight into the rich landscapes and history of the Middle East. Lowe recounts the beauty, kindnesses and complexities of the lands she travels through with an illuminating insight. A wonderful new travel writer' Sir Ranulph Fiennes

Some of the most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn/walked in! Super light on my feet. Nice casual looking and comfortable shoe for a reasonable price. I already brought 3 pair.

Great dressy sneaker to wear with business casual or jeans
Size: 11, Color: British Tan/Ivry
I got these for my husband to wear with jeans or business casual dress pants. They look sharp and professional and dress up jeans if you're going out. He says they fit comfortably and he can walk on them all day without his feet hurting. They are beautiful genuine leather so they don't get stinky. I got my husband's normal size and they fit to size.

Comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Black/Ivory
Most comfortable and roomy shoes I ever wore. Great for insoles. Looks nice too. The base of the shoe is a bit too thick but it’s fine.

Mens Pirate Coat Steampunk Jacket Tailcoat
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This pirate‑style steampunk tailcoat is a fantastic piece if you’re looking for something dramatic and eye‑catching. The design has that perfect mix of Renaissance flair and steampunk attitude, with sharp lines, bold detailing, and a flattering cut that instantly elevates any costume. It feels well‑constructed for the price, with stitching that holds up and fabric that has enough weight to drape nicely without feeling stiff. The fit is surprisingly good — structured in the shoulders, tapered in the waist, and long enough in the back to give that classic tailcoat silhouette. Whether you’re using it for cosplay, themed parties, festivals, or stage performances, it adds a ton of character and presence. If you want a jacket that looks impressive, photographs beautifully, and brings a whole vibe to your outfit, this one is a great choice.
