We don't feature him as much as we should (we'll correct that) but Davud Akhundzada is, to us, the gentleman tour guide if history is your thing, like it is ours, especially if it's far-flung places where you might (wrongly) question your desire to tread. Once a corporate lug like so many of us, from…
Middle East
We're always super-excited when we have a chance to big-up the virtues and benefits of rail travel. In so many advanced countries around the world, it's just an everyday kind of thing. But, if you're awake, you'll know that rail is making huge strides as a form of transport elsewhere, as the world…

Nope, that is not Ireland, but it sure looks like it, doesn't it? The only thing that is missing is cows . . . and people. Welcome to Dubai's World Islands project. Designed by Creative Kingdom Dubai, the development is an area that covers 6 by 9 kilometres (3.7 by 5.6 mi)…
We here at Matouring are not politically driven, but we do care about the world's people. Do you ever shed a tear for some countries and its people who take the brunt of the pain when another country steps on top of it? Can you think of any countries that might do that,…
Reach for the stars and you may get a handful. And that is an idiom (that we just made) up that might well describe the pickle that Dubai is in now with it's gobsmackingly huge Ain Dubai project. Intended to be the largest Ferris wheel in the world, this awesome - literally awesome…
Emirates Bus Line? Even slumming it is luxurious. Where do I sign?

"Good things come to those who wait," said a wise person. "A patient seeker will be satisfied in due time; patience is a virtue." How many times have you heard these proverbial nuggets as you're standing in a queue waiting for your turn to get your new passport? Hours, for sure. Days?…

Jerusalem is a place that has been at the centre of so many events - many religious - that we don't feel like we need to delve into its history. It's on the news almost every day, and the more things change there, the more they remain the same. We've done a number…
Public transit is the way to go! The more we use it, the better it (and the planet) gets. We are constantly banging on and on about why we should leave the car behind, when we can. As if we even need to say this in this day and age, here are…
We love to discover and feature places that may not be "getting the love" when it comes to being on the list of "places to be." Peruse our site and you'll see loads of places, things and activities that will surprise and delight you. One of these is Socotra. So, where is…
It's April of 2023. Thus far, there has been no let-up on the hatred and destruction that has plagued our people for the past few years. Between the tensions of the so-called superpowers, and the ideological uprisings centered around religion, it feels like we have stepped back several decades. Sure, this is…
We're sorry. We couldn't resist playing with that lousy pun of a post title. But this cruise down the Nile does come with a mummy-back guarantee. Ahem... now back to reality, Remember the wide-eyed wonder of learning about ancient Egypt at school? Our affiliate friends, Titan Travel, are offering this comprehensive Egypt…
