Dubaï, the navel of the Gulf…
Like New York or Hong Kong, Dubaï is a vertical town which stands straight optimising the space it holds on the ground.. A dynamic and truly modern business center, Dubaï stands out as a pionneer among other cities of the Emirates, while it distinguishe itself from the other cities for its acceptance of foreigners. It is also becoming a model for the rest of the world. A city where the most utopic plans become reality.

Parution Belgique -DMM – The last oriental baths by Pascal Meunier
Oualata,a garden in the Sahara.
The sands almost wiped Oualata from human memory. In ruins only ten years ago, this former caravanserai in the Mauritanian desert has now won its formidable struggle to survive. An achievement due to the joint efforts of a Spanish humanitarian organization and the Mauritanian government, which managed to revitalize the village by setting up a vegetable garden. It is a story of rebirth.

Oriental Baths : from magic to oblivion…
If in Europe going to Turkish baths is considered an exotic practice, it represents, for a majority of Muslims, more than just a place to unwind. Its cleansing, social and religious virtues have attracted many followers. For all that, it is more and more in decline in the medinas, poorly resisting the modern world and its chain of changes. Neglected, it seems like a monument inherited from the elders, devoid of any role to play. And with it, a whole way of life is threatened… Pascal Meunier has brought back from his many trips to Syria, Turkey, Yemen, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Emirates, a unique portrayal of these magical places.
