Antalya

This is a popular beach city in the south of Turkey, directly on the Mediterranean sea. Nestled between large mountains, the coastal strip is rife with hotel resorts and neatly-arranged beaches. It also has some historic mosques and the famous Gates of Hades. I visited in a hot summer period in 2024 and went around […]

Expo 2020

This was one of the nicest events I’ve attended, despite having to wear masks during the Covid pandemic (the event actually took place in winter 2021/22 due to delays). Such large Expos take place every 10 years and attract millions of visitors — the last one was in 2010 in China and I attended that […]

Tangier

Tangier is a charming little city on the north coast of Morocco, facing the Mediterranean and very close to Spain. I visited here in the autumn of 2022, and was lucky to have local hosts (business partners) to give me some personalized tours! I explored the coastal area and historic center (old town) where I […]

As I have lived in the UAE for several years (mainly Dubai), I have visited this capital city on various occasions and saw some of the unique attractions such as the Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace, Corniche/Marina waterfront area, Yas Island & Ferrari World, as well as the modern architecture all around. I was also fortunate […]

Beirut

I’ve visited this beautiful yet troubled city several times between 2001-2016, for both business and pleasure. It has grown and improved a lot over the years, but also gotten more congested. Overall though, dispute it political misfortunes, this is quite a wonderful place. From the incredible natural scenery all around, the great weather, mountains & […]

Casablanca

Casablanca

I visited Morocco’s largest city several times between 2002-2013, though most photos here are from more recent visits. Casablanca offers a variety of things to see such as the nice shoreline, grandiose mosques, and the famous street market/bazaar in the gated old city. I’d put the local food and coast area attractions on the top […]

Khartoum

I visited Khartoum on a short business trip in fall 2012. Was nice to see this party of the world where you don’t find lots of photos or descriptions about. Khartoum has a calm and relaxed lifestyle on the Nile banks, albeit lacking in modern hotels and tourism setup. Although foreign food brands are not […]
