Jordan
A Peaceable Kingdom - Part 1

The last thing my Mum said to me before I left on my trip to Jordan was that I should be careful and that she would pray for my safe return. Like most people, all she knew about this relatively small country was that it was located somewhere in the often-tumultuous Middle East. But on the ride from Amman's Queen Alia International Airport to our downtown hotel, our affable local guide was quick to reassure us that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is an oasis of peace, security and serenity, even if located in a really tough neighbourhood! Over the next ten days of my "Royal Tour" of the Kingdom, I found this to be patently true. As it turned out, my Mum had absolutely nothing to be worried about! (More)

China
A Mainland Odyssey

Published in the Winter 2007-08 Issue of Canadian World Traveller
Text and photos by Michael Morcos

Sometimes words and images cannot quite describe an experience. This is the case with my recent trip to China. I had visited Hong Kong and Taiwan but neither of these Chinese destinations could match the mainland. My ten-day trip would take me to the southern provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi and then north to Beijing. As I would soon find out, China's southern provinces and the country's dynamic capital could not be farther away from each other, either in terms of distance or culture. (More)

South Dakota
From Pioneer Days to Present Times

This mid-western state is a blend of living history and modern-day momentum. From its 'Little House on the Prairie' to its many fascinating natural wonders, South Dakota offers something special for every visitor. The tapestry of American history unfolds while travelling through this rolling and often contrasting state. You cannot help being inspired by the trek made by South Dakota's first pioneers Lewis and Clark and awed by the state's natural beauty. The Lakota, Dakota and other Native Americans living within the state still consider much of it sacred land. (More)

Italy for Two
Living La Dolce Vita

I have never eaten in a museum, but that morning it really felt like I was doing just that! In reality, I was in Rome and the 'museum' was the breakfast room of the Regina Baglioni Hotel! Original works of art graced its walls; the polished marble floor reflected its elegant antique furniture and a multi-layered crystal chandelier hung from its high ceiling. No, this was not a morning visit to the Louvre, I keep reminding myself, but the first of the seven fantastic days we spent in Rome, Florence and Verona in romantic Italy. (More)

Djibouti
Putting it on the Map

Published in the Winter 2007-08 Issue of Canadian World Traveller
Text and photos by Michael Morcos

A seven-star hotel; a delicious local vegetarian meal; a calypso concert under a clear, star-studded African sky; a warm comforting ocean breeze; and a cold French beer all awaited me. This was only on my first day in Djibouti and everything was perfect, as was the rest of my visit in this country that I knew so little about. When my friend Nathalie asked me if I wanted to go to Djibouti, my first thought was, why Djibouti? This country didn't feature on my list of travel destinations, but I was intrigued and didn't need much convincing. Before I knew it, I was landing in Djibouti City, the country's capital. (More)
