  • Book

Following the defeat of ISIS in Syria, Sunil Shinde set out to retrace the 200-year-old route of Scottish artist David Roberts. Over three months, Shinde followed ancient trade routes passing through psychedelic souqs, ancient monasteries, rugged deserts, crusader castles, rock-cut ruins and frontier towns, capturing fantastic sights and everyday moments in his sketchbook. Lingering in the timeless landscapes of the Holy Land, amidst the complex tangle of history, faith and politics, Shinde discovered a region far removed from the newspaper headlines.
