what orthodox christian is OP going to run into in morocco or qatar? the only orthodox presence is in lebanon (syria, egypt, and etheopia if you include oriental orthodox), if he wants to understand their cultures islam is way more important. stop being a fag, reading the quran for ethnographic reasons is not a heresy only converting is.

>Is perenial philosophy true or just a load of crap?
Yes, perennial philosophy is the last vestige of counter-tradition before genuine spirituality/religiosity. Just as coming to any religion out of a search for the Truth is climaxed by genuine faith, so to is the knowledge that Truth exists by Christ.
>Is guenon worth my time?
Yes, but there are more important things. If you have faith and spiritual knowledge beforehand, the conclusions that he comes to are really obvious. If you're secular and need esoteric and apocalyptic jargon to spur and interest in cultivating faith (which is what I did) you end up at the same place but took the hard route.
tl;dr - read spiritual texts and theology instead
