October 11, 2023 by Emily EnglishLeave a Comment

Cairo, Egypt’s capital, is one of the largest cities in Africa and has stood for more than 1,000 years in the northeastern part of Egypt on the banks of the Nile.

How International Travel is Revolutionizing Pizza Making for American Restaurants

May 1, 2022 by Jim TorresLeave a Comment

Did you know that the number one comfort food for Americans is pizza? Yep. According to a Harris Poll, 67% of Americans claim pizza is their go-to, yummy indulgence.

To explain, many pizza joints are simply about slapping out pies in a soulless, conveyor-like process. That simply won’t do for hungry citizens of the pizza nation. … [Read more...]

Getting Around Aswan Without Getting Fleeced

January 12, 2020 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

My trip to Aswan, Egypt to see the ancient Temple of Isis at Philae was a good reminder to always look on the positive side, even when you feel like you are being taken advantage of by locals. The temple itself is magnificent and dramatically situated on an island in the middle of a lake. Because the vast majority of visitors to Aswan go as part of an organized and guided tour, there is scant information available for the independent, … [Read more...]

Sea of Galilee and Redemption

June 23, 2019 by Maxim Basilad1 Comment

The sea, the sea! That was my miraculous view for at least four Galilean days staying in a hotel on the outskirts of the ancient city of Tiberias, Israel. That was the Sea of Galilee or Lake Tiberias or Buhayrat Tabriya in Arabic or Yam Kinneret in Hebrew. This is the sea of abounding stories; biblical, archaeological, economic, political and of personal testimonies. One Night I was awakened by a dream. I was swimming in the sea’s deep … [Read more...]
