Dubai was an awesome last stop on this epic adventure 💎

We found some great views of the incredible Burj Al Arab, explored the Palm Jumeirah (a giant manmade island that looks like a palm leaf from above), found some of the best sweets we had the entire trip, and met for dinner with more of Tarek’s good friends!

We went to the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa!

The Dubai Fountain complex outside was massive too, and performed a show synced with music.

We also spent the evening the Global Village, a super cool “theme park” that represents most of the world’s countries through amazing facades, markets, music, and food stalls! 🇹🇭🇺🇸🇪🇬🇦🇷 it was especially beautiful at night: all the lights came alive and there were shows, dancing, and drum parades too 😍

We’re here in Dubai, and it is flash✨😎

The city has just about everything you can imagine… In the malls, you can see sharks, snow ski, and ice skate.

It has the world’s tallest building, largest OLED screen, fastest elevator, biggest ferris wheel, fastest roller coaster, and so much more!

And there are so many stellar structures, luxurious buildings, shops, supercars, and beaches, mixed in with markets (like Souk Madinet Jumeirah) and traditional food…it’s really something else!

Our first day, we walked the restaurants and shops at Jumeirah Beach Residences and JBR Beach, then met up with friends for dinner at a cool place in an area called Blue Waters (under the ferris wheel) for dinner and drinks 🎡

We spent more time around Beirut, checking out the famous Pigeon Rocks, Mohammad Al Amin Mosque, more incredibly delicious food, and the night life in Mar Mikhael 😍🔊

Tourism hasn’t fully returned to Beirut after the explosion that happened near the city in 2021. This plus COVID affected heaps of shops and restaurants, causing them to close down, and many haven’t rebuilt.

Exploring Byblos: the Old Souk and Mediterranean Sea 🌆

Plus, some of the BEST food:

- Halloumi with figs

- Manakish (dough topped with thyme and lebnah)

- Ras asfour (beef with nuts and herbs with a pomegranate sauce)

- Knafeh with cheese (Brian’s favourite food of the entire trip)

- Lebanese bread with carob molasses, caramelised almonds, tahini, halawa, strawberry, and pistachios

Wow, wow, wow.

We’ve made it to Lebanon! 🇱🇧

Lebanon is known for its delicious food, ancient ruins and castles, beaches, churches, mosques, and even ski mountains in the winter.

We are staying in Beirut, and got to see so much on our first day.

We walked through Byblos…one of the world’s oldest continually-inhabited cities since 5000 BC 🤯 The area we visited had a castle and protective walls built around the city about 1500 years ago.

We also took a walk and a boat ride through the Jaitta Grotto, a two-level cave network filled with giant stalactites and stalagmites, mini waterfalls, and a serene river that flows through the bottom (no photos allowed).

Then we took the mountain cable car (called the Téléferique) 🚠 up to the top of the mountain overlooking the city to visit Harissa, home of the Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon, featuring a statue honouring the Virgin Mary.

Views from around Amman, Jordan 🇯🇴😍

Dead Sea + mud bath!

The last stop of our tour through Jordan was the Dead Sea 🌊

It was awesome - the salt content is so high that there’s no need for treading water or swimming to stay afloat. You just float!

And the effect was WAY stronger than we expected, we could even “stand” straight up and down and be bobbing out of the water!

The mineral composition of the water and surrounding mud has a bunch of benefits for your skin and circulation too. Everyone covered themselves in mud and washed it off after 15 minutes for nice and soft skin.

The next day, we woke up for breakfast and coffee with our group, then visited a few cool locations in the valley on the way out.

We saw petroglyphs left from humans who lived there in prehistoric times, giant sand dunes that Tarek and Brian raced to the top of, an epic natural arch formed by a massive rock structure, and a system the current inhabitants use to channel water from up the mountains to down into the camps!

We spent a night in one of the coolest places in the Middle East: WADI RUM 🐪🏜️

From Petra, it was a few hours south to Wadi Rum (or, “Valley of the Moon”). It’s the desert-like valley in south Jordan, protected by mountains and dotted with Bedouin camps.

We hopped in on a 4x4 truck and arrived at sunset for the most beautiful view on the drive in. It just felt so BIG and expansive as our tiny truck drove through a land of gigantic mountains, with sand dunes that seemed to go on forever.

We slept in a tent under one of the biggest, most beautiful starry skies we’d ever seen 🌌

For dinner, the workers at the camp prepared a special meal by igniting coals under the sand and cooking chicken on an underground cooker!

After dinner, we danced with the locals and tourists and sat by the fire until it got too cold to stay out!

We went to the amazing ancient city of PETRA!

The next morning, we grabbed coffee and met up with a new group we'd spend the next two days with.

Our guide Ja'far was great: he's known as "Mr. See You Tomorrow" because instead of "okay" his go-to response is "see you tomorrow!"

Petra is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and was built around 2,500 years ago and only rediscovered in the 1800s.

It has 15 major sites including a church, a monastery, a treasury, a collection of tombs, an outdoor theatre, and more, plus a network of channels to distribute water throughout the city - all carved into the side of mountains! 😮

After a few days of diving, we had planned to climb Mount St Catherine, the highest mountain in Egypt. But to avoid decompression sickness (ascending high in altitude soon after diving), we switched up our plans and spent a relaxing day at the beach up the coast in a town called Taba.

Early the next morning, we flew back to Cairo, had a breakfast and coffee with two of Tarek’s friends Alaa and Shady, then connected to the next stop on our trip: Jordan!

We arrived at our Airbnb in Lweibdeh, a “hipster” part of town with heaps of cool little local restaurants and shops lit up with lights and decorations!

We had the “best shawerma in the world” at Shawerma 3a Saj (it really was….) then got ice cream at a place called Gerard - good stuff!
