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…
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…
Combining comfortable design and award-winning service, our lounges will immerse you in a world-class experience.
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,…

We think of you, our beloved readers, as adventuresome, fun, curious, open-minded, free-thinking and, perhaps, owners of creaky joints and bones. Yep. Our sympathies go to…
Like you, we love to travel wherever and whenever we can. And, for the most part, that is both do-able and easy. Some places are - not surprisingly - out of the realm of reality for most of us (the North Pole for example) but out of the 195 countries on the planet,…
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…
