5.0 out of 5 stars Good Coverage of Seldom Visited Rail Lines, September 6, 2003

I believe the low ratings given above on the basis of "prejudice" are way off the mark. This is a DVD about TRAINS, not a scenic travelog of the prettiest sights in the countries involved. If the trains are located in unsightly areas and patronized mostly by poor people, then the photographers had no choice but to portray them accordingly. It's not as if the producers had a choice between luxury trains and run-down railroads and chose only the latter. There are plenty of videos available showing the attractive and "touristy" sites in the Middle East; this one is intended for a different audience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where Europe Ain't Where You Thought It Was, May 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Travel the World by Train - Near & Middle East (DVD)

The real title of this DVD is Travel The World By Train: Near & Middle East. You'll visit Turkey, India, Iran, Israel and Syria, which aren't in Europe. Long train trips mean that you've got to eat, so you'll be exposed to new culinary experiences as you share your travels with the locals. The scenery is, as usual, fascinating. Invitations to prayer in Iran (on the train or at the station) or at the Wailing Wall might best be declined. No trains stopped for sacred cows in India, but you'll see plenty that you'll find educational.
