The Moroccan Sahara. A Sunset Camel Ride in Erg Chebbi.

January 14, 2018 by Pete Martin2 Comments

It has been a long day, yet one that has been extremely enjoyable. Two days in a car would not have been a preferred choice after my disastrous week of cycling in the Atlas Mountains but Mousa, my guide, has made the right calls with stops for both the sights on the way and for breaks, as well as sensing when to chat and when to leave me to doze. The further we drive - the further into the desert we go - the better the scenery. We are roughly … [Read more...]

Manhattan’s Korean Way

December 29, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

What I love most about New York, is the diversity of people and cultures that mix and mingle without even thinking twice about it. Walking down the street, you are more likely to hear any one of a large array of foreign languages than you are to hear English. This could include Chinese, Indian, Russian, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Portuguese, Urdu.... You name it and you'll probably hear it. And each group brings with it its own culture and history … [Read more...]

Xi’an Belongs to the World

December 18, 2016 by Abdul Rastagar6 Comments

Chinese culture belongs not only to the Chinese but also to the whole world,” said former Chinese president Hu Jintao. If Chinese culture does indeed belong to the world, then, without a doubt, the place to explore it is Xi’An. If you’ve never heard of it before, you’re probably not alone. Oddly, one of China’s most interesting and unique cities is not particularly well known to the outside world, especially considering its historical … [Read more...]

Quiet Rome: underground houses, secret gardens and amazing artworks

September 15, 2016 by Alexandra Eternity Tours1 Comment

If you know where to look, Rome is one of the most peaceful capital cities in the world. Get away from the traffic and the crowds queuing to get into the Vatican Museums, and you’ll discover quiet piazzas, tranquil parks, and museums where the statues outnumber the visitors. I’ve spent the last three years living in Rome, exploring the city on my own or in the company of a tour guide from my company, Through Eternity. Nothing beats exploring … [Read more...]

Living in the Age of Airplanes: A Film by Brian J. Terwilliger

August 21, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

As Bill Gates said, “The airplane became the first World Wide Web, bringing people, languages, ideas, and values together,” and that’s exactly what this film proves. LIVING IN THE AGE OF AIRPLANES brings to life the vision of the Wright Brothers, encouraging us to appreciate the luxury we have today to be able to walk onto a plane and walk back off halfway across the world. “You have a lot of disgruntled passengers where their focus is on the … [Read more...]

Cooking Class at Petra Kitchen

August 3, 2016 by Jacki Ueng2 Comments

One of the most fascinating aspects for me about traveling Internationally is tasting food from different cultures and regions. What we think of Middle-Eastern food in the United States is a generalization of a wide range of countries based upon a few dishes which have become westernized. In actuality, within even one country - there can be dramatic culinary differences based on spices used and preparation styles. The culinary traditions of … [Read more...]

Harar, Ethiopia

June 27, 2016 by Sam McManusLeave a Comment

Harar is undoubtedly Ethiopia’s brightest flower. If a jewel, she may be slightly chipped around the edges, though her centre continues to shine with undiminished brilliance. Of course, like most places on the continent – which Paul Theroux encapsulates as ‘a Dark Star’ – everything is a bit messed up. Located on the border of the far eastern Somali region, French-imported blue and white vintage Peugeot taxis cruise beneath Italian-built colonial … [Read more...]

The Hardest Place in the World to Visit

May 7, 2016 by Richard Bangs3 Comments

The covering has the disconcerting effect of obnubilating as well as illuminating the woman behind it. Shrouded in black niqab and ankle-length abaya, she floats towards me. Behind, her friends are firing salvos of cell-phone photos, as though we foreigners are exotic beasts in a zoo. She stops, and through her veil, in perfect English, asks, “Where are you from?” “California.” “What city?” “Los Angeles.” “What part?” … [Read more...]

Best Travel Guide for First Time Travellers to Dubai

March 24, 2016 by Chetan Jadhav5 Comments

Bastakiya Quarter

DUBAI proudly stands among the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It’s no less than a splendid tourist destination for travellers around the globe. The city is a pleasure for eyes because of its crazy, humongous and architectural skyscrapers. Unlike in other countries, the whole city is man-made, beautifully crafted to catch the eyes of many tourist lovers. As the world is aware, Dubai has won the bid to host World EXPO 2020 and … [Read more...]

My Time Exploring Tunis, Tunisia

December 8, 2015 by DaveLeave a Comment

I did not think twice of going to Tunisia for holiday. But then I had to wade through the thick flotsam of fear about the warped realities of travel to Tunisia I encountered when I informed people I was going to this country. Ultimately this fear messed with my psyche and did so until I was on my final flight to Tunis when I finally was able to relax. But such was my luck the night I arrived - a suicide bomber killed himself and 12 other … [Read more...]
