Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
Howdy all. One of the most ‘fabled’ cities on the old Silk Road is without a doubt Uzbekistan’s Samarkand. It has a number of sites worth seeing, and a great place to experience Islamic Architecture. It’s a beautiful city, with wide roads and then miles of little backstreets in the old parts. When I visited I stayed in a little

There are several must-sees (although they all escape me :P) and several must-dos when you are in Egypt. For me, there was no competition – the best was taking a Felucca down the Nile River for three days and two nights. A few months ago I was given a bunch of photos from my time in Egypt, 1999, which had

When travelling from Australia or eastern Asia to Europe, there are number of possible airlines and routes to get you there, and one of the most popular, usually flying Emirates, is to go via Dubai. Emirates connects a large number of European cities to a large number of Asian/Australian towns. And I always hear people wondering if they should take

I’m pretty sure somewhere in this blog I have talked about my experiences in Egypt way back in 1999 – that’s last century you know J – and one specific memory of sitting down beneath two giant statues known as the Colossi of Memnon, on a Valley of the Kings tour near Luxor, to change the film in my camera.

Let’s head to the Middle East for today’s ‘City Rumble’, I am surprised I haven’t included Cairo in a City Rumble before, and I don’t think I’ve really posted about Amman before at all. So anyways, here we are with the capitals of Egypt and Amman facing off against each other. They are, on the face of it, very different

Egypt. It’s been a heck of a long time since I visited there, but one things for sure, I still have good memories of the places I went. It’s the sort of place that is genuinely unforgettable with incredible history, the Nile River, the desert and the people. Its capital Cairo has seen its share of upheaval in the last

This week’s photographic remembrance is taking me back to Dubai where I was 7 – 8 years ago. There are malls galore, with the most incredible attractions – like Ski Dubai, inside the Mall of the Emirates which is a ski resort with lifts and more and snow of course. Then there was another with an aquarium, one with an

Hi all. Today’s video takes me back to 2009 and the time I visited one of the Middle East’s most accessible and certainly rewarding countries – Jordan. I visited Amman, Aquaba, Petra and Wadi Rum in around two weeks there, and I hope this video whets your appetite for a country that is extremely rewarding and welcoming! If this has

You know I concentrate the bulk of my city rumbles on well-known places, but I thought it was time to write a bit more about Central Asia so I hit upon the plan to pit the capital of Kyrgyzstan against the capital of its neighbour, Uzbekistan. Bishkek is the pleasant, leafy capital of Kyrgyzstan, a country that when you type
