You have MOST probably seen Ait Ben Haddou, UNESCO World Heritage site, and you don’t even know it! Have you seen the movies Jewel of the Nile, The Last Temptation of Christ, Lawrence of Arabia or Gladiator? What about the series Games of Thrones? They have all used some...

I have always been fond of camels…from afar. They amazed me; going for miles and miles with no food and water in the hot desert, packing goods and such on its back and side. Amazing creature really. And their face. Oh, their sweet face. 🙂 So when we were on our Morocco...

One of the awesome things we do when we go to the Sahara Desert is fossil hunting. I have never really been into fossil hunting personally – well, maybe when I was in school…but as an adult, not so much. But many in our group were really fond of it, so that made this...

The best advertisement is people – their experiences, their reviews and their honest word-of-mouth recommendations. I want to share with you, my blog readers, some of these reviews of my guests, so you can get a flavor of our small group travels. —————————————————- I met...

You can smell it several shops away…this yumminess of scents from fruity, to musks, to florals. Kind of like when you know there is a LUSH store in the mall ahead somewhere – you can smell it in advance! La Botica de la Abuela Aladdin doesn’t have a website, but it really...

One of the things I notice when I travel is that the best way to REALLY get the feel of a place is to visit their local market. It is here that you will see the locals, see the produce they are selling and see how real life is among the place you are in. It was no different...

You have heard it and I truly believe it – the best advertisement is word of mouth. And something more to add to that – when you have repeat guests who want to travel with you again! I had the joy of journeying with Jayantha (and his lovely wife Shyamala) last year on...
