City Walk in Dubai
City Walk in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is one of the places that I prefer to visit when I feel like going out for a meal, or to watch a movie as it is not very crowded. It is located in the heart of the city which is just few minutes away from Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall. It is a great place to have a stroll especially at night when the lights are lit. As shown on below photo, the towering Burj Khalifa in the background adds glamour to the skyline. Please watch my short video below about City Walk Dubai, and do not forget to subscribe to my…

I Had a Successful Eye Laser Surgery (Lasik)
After more than ten years of wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses, I finally decided to have eye laser surgery. Thanks to Dr. Ahmed El-Sawaf at Laser Eye Care and Research Centre (LERC). It was during my twenties when my eyesight started to deteriorate. Like many others, I was at first reluctant to wear eye glasses but did not have an option however, I did not like it and I was very uncomfortable even after years of putting them on. Maybe I just did not find a suitable pair for me. I then switched to contact lenses, which to me was a better options to glasses although contacts are a bit…

A visit to the capital of Switzerland
More on Switzerland, the country that I admired the most when it comes to spectacular scenery. It is a nation that has clean and beautiful countryside, nice people, as well as inspiring history. It is just to name a few of the reasons why I honestly love Switzerland. There is no better way to know more about this wonderful and rich country than to visit its capital city – Bern, even just for a day. Bern is the de facto capital and the fifth most populous city in Switzerland. It traces its origins back to the twelfth century with much evidence of the medieval architecture from that time preserved in…

For a tourist, there’s no better or more exciting way to explore Europe than to travel by train. Out of the many options of mode of transport to choose from, such as car, bus, or plane, undoubtedly, train travel is the most convenient and most reliable. It is a highly commendable mode of transportation for sightseeing unless you prefer to hire a car and drive on your own. Travelling by train gives you the freedom to easily move from one place to another not only in big cities but in remote rural areas as well and provides the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the countryside. Whenever I step…

In love with Switzerland – A day in Geneva
Geneva is the second most populous city after Zurich and the French-speaking part of Switzerland. It is a global city, a financial centre, and a worldwide centre for diplomacy due to the presence of many international organisations headquartered including Europe’s United Nations and the Red Cross. CERN in Geneva is the birthplace of world wide web (www) as we know it today. It was invented by an English engineer and computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. I only had one day scheduled to explore Geneva, which, unfortunately, really did not do it justice considering its magnitude in history and the many interesting things to see and do. Still, I’m so…

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the centre of Christianity and the most sacred site of Christendom, is a church within the Christian Quarter of Old City, Jerusalem. It is also called the Church of the Resurrection but was formerly known by its original Greek name: the Church of the Anastasis. The church contains the two holiest sites in Christendom: the site where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified known as Calvary in Latin and Golgotha in Greek, and Jesus’s empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected. Within the church proper are the last four (or, by some definitions, five) stations of the Via Dolorosa, representing the final episodes of Jesus’s…
