Early october my three week fall vacation in Canada ended. My initial plan for a road trip in the southwest of USA with a good friend of mine failed so I had to chose a different destination for my vacation: a round trip through central Canada
Almost exactly one year ago I decided to spend my fall vacations in Egypt. Beside a relaxing beach experience at the Red Sea (diving included) I took the opportunity to visit Cairo and the Pyramids in Giza and Saqqara.
Dubai is a fascinating city.
End of spring I decided to make a trip to Dubai in order to enjoy the warm climate and to observe the modern cityscape. Dubai offers some cultural sights, a rich selection of great architecture and even some great beaches.
