MIDDLE EAST

Old City of Jerusalem Israel

The narrow lanes lined with petty trade and souvenirs. Manned by folks as old as the place. Bustle and buzz of a beehive. Canopied shop fronts forcing dim bulbs to light up a bright day. And I was a character in French Orientalist Charles Theodore Frere’s ‘The Souk’. - Old City of Jerusalem Israel - Travelure ©

World’s Tallest Building Burj Khalifa Dubai

Khalifa means ‘leader’. An apt word to describe a structure that has broken most world records for architecture. Tallest. Highest. Longest. First. Most. These are only some of the superlatives used for this magical creation. The reason why I call it magical is that you can watch the sunset from the base of the building. Then, get into an elevator right to the top, and watch the sunset all over again. - World’s Tallest Building Burj Khalifa Dubai - Travelure ©

Bet Guvrin-Maresha Caves Israel

Bet Guvrin and Maresha caves lie scattered over a large area of 1250 acres in Judean Lowlands. The locals call it the Land of the Caves and Hiding Places (Official Name: Bet Guvrin National Park). There are over 500 caves containing more than 3500 rooms. The distance is about 60 km from Jerusalem. - Bet Guvrin-Maresha Caves Israel - Travelure ©
