Bob Marley may be the king of reggae, but Ibrahim Mohamed Ali El Bedou is arguably the king of style… We met Ibrahim at The Monastery, which is about an hour climb north of Petra’s centre, on an ancient rock-cut path of about 800 steps. (800 STEPS!!! Yes people, another sporting achievement of the Guillaume-and-Eve team!!!). Such [...]

Vanessa Paradis, eat your heart out… I am not saying that Johnny Depp isn’t sexy. But he’s already had his turn. Time to move over Johnny and to make room for these sexy bedouins.

In true Indiana Jones style, it was pitch-dark as we walked into the ruins of the famous city of Petra, in Jordan. We passed through the twisting Siq all lit up by atmospheric lanterns, often only a claustrophobic metres wide with the sides towering 80 metres. A few crooked turns later, we caught the first glimpse of [...]

One of my regrets in Syria is that I didn’t get the chance to meet many women. While contact was very easy with males – in fact, Syrians are among the most friendly and hospitable people in the world, and we ended up being invited for a cup of tea in Damascene houses more than once [...]

Ever wonder where Madonna bought her bullet corsets or Pamela Anderson picked up her leather ones? Forget La Perla, Victoria Secrets, Trashy Lingerie and the like. We have the scoop.

In order to understand this post, you need to know that Guillaume spent his early days in Syria – from his birth until he was 3. As we were travelling through the Middle East, we had no choice but to stop in Damascus for a couple of days in order to look for the house [...]

Ready for an extreme opposite-of-glamour testosterone explosion? Okay, so let’s do this, I’m totally up for it. Do you remember Marge’s 4WD in The Simpsons? Large, red, said to have space for over thirty passengers as well as the driver? When Marge uses it, she develops road rage. Well, we found it. Yes…The Canyonero, in the [...]

After our spiritual quest in Nepal and the mighty Himalayas, we stopped for a couple of days in Dubai. No holy Hindu sadhus nor Buddhist monks there! Oh no! But instead six-star hotels shaped like giant sails or shoes or starfish… Skyscrapers so tall the moon has to steer its way around them… Immense off-shore man-made archipelagos, [...]
