For Arab travelers

As you know, if you want to travel far, you need some preparation, means and the will to do so, but it is far from being an impossible quest. Arabs are travelers at heart.
For hundreds of years, our forefathers have been traveling and establishing themselves throughout the world and let’s not forget the nomads, always searching for new lands. Obviously, we cannot talk about travels without mentioning the pilgrimage to Mecca, the ultimate trip for all Muslims. We will be talking about all of that.

You should also note that among Arabs are the greatest world travelers, such as the tireless Ibn Battouta, who traveled around the world for thirty years, went further than Marco Polo and faced perils more dangerous that did Vasco de Gama. We will present Ibn Fadlen, the first to ever write bout Nordic countries, and Ibn Joubeyr, Leon the African and many others.

But they are travelers of the past, what about travelers of today? Many young would like to travel but they think it is too difficult and they don’t know how to proceed. Visa refusals, expensive plane tickets, language barriers, lack of information, the overall cost, time and much more reasons are there to put a damper on the wish to travel. We will demonstrate that all is possible. Hundreds of young people travel nowadays and we will talk about them. There are hundreds of countries which don’t require a visa or for which visas are easy to obtain, such as in South America, Asia, Eastern Europe, etc.

Our world is full of promises and surprises, Argentina is as beautiful as France; you can travel cheap in Thailand, India, China, Cambodia and Brazil and be offered culture, beaches, museums, music, good food and unique sites. Nothing in the world can replace travel memories. Stand on top of the Pyramids, cruise the Nile, admire a full moon in Patagonia, watch a glacier as high as a mountain melt before my eyes, thousands of kilometers of wild nature, spend a frenzied night in Rio during the Carnival, spend a week with Shaolin monks in China, fall under the spell of the Alhambra, the beauty of the nights in Prague, experience the midnight sun in Finland, discover the end of the world village at Tierra del Fuego, take a gondola in Venice, enjoy the beaches of Goa, admire the splendor of the Alps, savor the calmness of the desert, feel the Nordic cold, discover beautiful faces and relish the invaluable experience of tens of trips around the world… and for million other reasons, I would like to invite you to this wonderful world.
