Aleppo, the spices’s provider
Although it may contend with its rival, Damascus, for the title of the oldest,still-inhabited city in the world, Aleppo has no cause to be jealous of the Syrian capital.

Petra and its little secret paths.
Petra is one of these rare places in the world that you have the impression to know without ever been to before.There is the Petra of Hollywood, the one that Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his father (Sean Connery) discover, riding, in the Steven Spielberg’s movie, « Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade ». Or the Petra of Tintin with the Khazneh temple, drawn by Hergé in a scene from « Coke en stock ». There is also, for sure, the touristy Petra, the one that the groups discover between the Siq, the Khazneh and the royal temples in less than three hours, constantly rushed by adisillusioned guide. But above all, there is also the Petra with its small forgotten paths, its secret canyons and its discreet temples.
