Middle East & Mediterranean Contributor
Noa covers the Middle East and Mediterranean for barsforKings from Tel Aviv. She maps a fast-moving region where the bar scene can change in a season, from the natural-wine rooms of Tel Aviv to the rooftops of Beirut and the late bars of Athens.
She has a particular eye for wine bars and for the way a Mediterranean city drinks outdoors. Her standard is that a bar should feel like it belongs to its street, not like it was airlifted in from somewhere with a bigger budget.
Noa edits the Middle East and Mediterranean city desks and reviews the region's wine-bar and rooftop entries.
