He lived through the civil war, went to school with Osama Bin Laden, and learned to ski and speak French and Arabic. At the age of seven he was sent to an English boarding school, where he would spend term times before returning to his war-torn home. It was a schizophrenic existence. Dom's parents divorced when he was 18, and he moved permanently to the UK, becoming a diplomat, a political journalist and then famous as a man who dressed as a giant squirrel. He has been back to Lebanon only twice since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen he read about an attempt to encourage tourism in this long-suffering country. The Lebanon Mountain Trail. This is a hiking trail that runs from the Syrian border in the north of Lebanon, along the spine of the country's mountain range all the way to the Israeli border in the south. The trail takes 30 days to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDom immediately decided that he must hike the trail in 2018, the year of his 50th birthday, and invited two friends along. Essentially this is a bonding adventure that just so happens to take place right in the middle of the most important geopolitical region of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hezbollah Hiking Club\u003c\/i\u003e is a funny, heartwarming travel audiobook full of insight into the Middle East, religion, friendship and growing old disgracefully....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's three men on a camel...without the camel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jaha Knight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162213499120,"sku":"2940169280357","price":26.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169280357_p0.jpg?v=1763773084","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169280357","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
