Philae Temple was dismantled and reassembled (on Agilika Island about 550 meters from its original home on Philae Island) in the wake of the High Dam. The temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, is in a beautiful setting which has been landscaped to match its original site. It's various shrines and s...

I'll start with the disclaimer that many people I was traveling with didn't like Tsavo as much as the Masai Mara Reserve. The reasons were that it was much hotter (the Mara is at a higher elevation), the mosquitos at Tsavo were worse (the elevation again), it was harder to view wildlife (more bus...

Blue Hole is a hole 800 meters straight down within the coral reef. Lots of smaller fish along the reef, but the reef is starting to show the damages done by the tourist. Along the beach there are several "beduin" huts in where we stayed for the day.
It was a great day out, but I'm not sure if ...

Having, as a result of my own stupid behaviour, just become homeless it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take in a bit of sunshine, particularly apt given the utterly feeble excuse for a summer that were June, July and August 2007. Marrakech, just 3 hours from London, seemed the perfect loc...

Lonely Planet told me that a trip to Abu Simbel was easily the highlight of any trip to Egypt. I want put out some information to help you decide whether or not the hike is worth it.
First of all, it is indeed a hike. I took a hotel sponsored van which was part of the first daily convoy to Abu ...

When in Tunisia, there are several things/places you must see:
*Matmata is a must see. Matmata is in the southern section of Tunisia. Not quite at the Sahara yet, but you're getting close! This interesting little town is one of the places where scenes in Star Wars were filmed. The Berbers of Matm...

Touring a brandy distillery is a nice way to break up your wine tour while in Stellenbosch. Van Ryn's brandy was excellent (not that I know much about brandy in general) and they have won many awards including their 12 year old brandy which won "best in the world" for 2005.
You take a short tour ...

If you're going to the monkey sanctuary, make sure you come early to be able to catch the monkeys. We left Ho at 5am to make sure we got there when the monkeys were still out and about.
It seemed like we were walking down a path to the middle of nowhere until our guides Patrick and Sylvester sudd...

Agadir's main French and English bookstore. Very good selection, particularly of French Penguin mysteries, but oriented toward teachers.

The cultural market is a definite tourist trap, and you'll only see tourists wandering the stalls. But nevertheless, it is definitely an experience. You'll find better prices and higher quality products in smaller markets especially outside of Accra, but here's a place where you can flaunt the 'tour...

Although the pyramids in Giza are the most well known in Egypt, there are other pyramids in that very area that are often overlooked. One such location is Saqqarah. On this site still stands the first pyramid ever constructed in Egypt. This pyramid, called the Step Pyramid of Zoser, was designed ...

The Nelson Mandela Square and the Sandton City Mall are excellent to spend an afternoon. The mall has excellent shopping opportunities and is a mall which can actually be found anywhere in the world. The Nelson Mandela Square is attached to the City Mall and has a large statue of Mandela near one of...

Visitng Cape Coast Castle was a great, and quite moving, experience. There is a great museum on the history of the castle and slave trade in Western Africa and a tour of the castle takes you through the rooms were kept, throughout the castle, and through the door of no return.

If you want to purchase papyrus and egyptian show pieces, I think the best place would be at the Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo. Consider visiting there even if you don't want to get something.
We got some really cheap jewelary, papyrus, and some sculptures in the maze like bazaar.
If you want to...

Located about an hour outside of Cape Coast, Kakum National Park is a great place to see some of the country's best rainforest. A 40m high canopy walk through the tops of the trees is an essential experience to see the array of vegetation growing in the area, and if you're lucky and look closely, yo...
