This guide has a broad scope, covering the "Middle East", as of 2019. It is good for an overview for those thinking about visiting the area, perhaps to decide what particular places to visit. It tends to focus on the entry level/basic needs traveller, as opposed to the middle to high end one, and the selection of hotels, restaurants and modes of travel reflects that orientation. It's worth a read either in trip planning or for a quick study of the area. ( )
