About this blog

I have for a long time been facinated with the Middle East, so much history originates from that area of the world. Ever since my Mom told me of Petra, I've wanted to go there, and the Pyramids - every traveller has to see them at least once I've been told. So in this year 2008, where I did not get a job at the Olympics in Beijing, I'm travelling through a bit of the Middle East; I'll start in Istanbul, travel throug Syria and Jordan and finishing in Cairo, Egypt, hopefully with a long visit to the Egyptian Museum, to see all those unfanthomable treasures.
