For six days, eight of us drove south from Cairo, along the Bahariya oasis road, turning off after 200km into the desert. Like, properly into the desert. Like, not another living soul to be seen desert. (Well, for the most part.) Like, dunes and rocky ... Read more >

I had to see to cross the street in a very u party it for my own eyes. The difference of culture within the act of crossing the street or being in the traffic street with  their mother. It is a learned life style to cross the street with holding your ... Read more >

Stand it the front and by the time the door opens, escalator moves, passport queue or the line forms in the airport we will no longer be in front. Pardon, Pardon, Pardon...universal I am hoping as it is my only way of wishing some people well! Hannah ... Read more >

For three all-too-brief days I took a yoga safari with El Salam Camp . There were 10 of us, plus our teacher Dakini, two puppies to be found a home, and four Bedouins to lead the way, tend the camels and make camp. It was a magic time, and couldn't ... Read more >
