One of the days we went wandering the Sahara Desert, we stopped at Dar Gnaoua. It is located in Ramlia village near Merzouga, an interesting village on the edge of the dunes has the curiosity of its habitants being all descendents from sub-Saharian people that long ago crossed...

Whether its a weekend getaway or a long awaited life-changing adventure, when we travel it makes memories that will forever be as vivid in our minds and hearts as they were the day they happened. Capturing these moments in a photograph makes it easier to share with our loved...

It’s probably one of the most beautiful things I have heard. I first heard it when I was walking in Istanbul. Suddenly the Call to Prayer, or Adhan, came through speakers from all over and it literally stopped me in my steps. I will always remember that. (Click the photo...
