Lebanon

Affectionately known as the Middle East’s “Paris” or “Pearl”, tiny Lebanon measures up to its grandiose titles, still positively packed with Levantine charm, gorgeous landscapes and stunning, UNESCO-listed sites. A cosmopolitan blend of the East and the West, it’s a patchwork of peoples and faiths, nevertheless sharing in common a colourful history, a penchant for beauty and a fondness for mouth-watering mezze – and not least, the best of the Arab tradition of hospitality. Soak up Mediterranean vibes along Lebanon’s rugged coastline, from Tripoli to Tyre. Board a boat in the bowels of the fabulous Jeita Grotto or bathe backed by bleach-white cliffs. Ascend the lush forests for a glimpse of the Cedars of God and ski down the slopes of the mighty Mount Lebanon. Sample the best of the country’s wines in the Bekaa Valley. Stroll along Beirut’s enchanting corniche, see its moving museums and shop on the celebrated Hamra Street, indulging later on in the region’s most legendary nightlife scene. Lovers of history too will fall under its spell, with Crusader castles, rock-hewn monastic sites and cities dating back to beginnings of time. Best of all, stand in awe at the breath-taking ruins of Baalbek’s Temple of Bacchus – perhaps the single greatest surviving wonder of the Roman world.

The Kazakh eagle hunter
and his golden bird of prey

“On our last day in the Altai, we met an eagle hunter named Khairatkhan. There are around 250 eagle hunters left in the world practicing this vanishing art and most reside in the Mongolian Altai. Hunters ride their horses with their eagles perched on their arms up to the top of the hill for a better vantage point before releasing the birds to hunt foxes, rabbits and occasionally, wolves. He said that they raise and feed these golden eagles even before they can fly. But these eagles are born wild so once they’re released, they will never return.”

– Kay Lam

Nomadic migration
on horseback in the Altai

“We were the first outsiders to horse trek with two Mongolian Kazakh families migrating 100km across the Altai from their winter home to their summer home. We rode semi-wild horses and herded over 300 animals through gorgeous terrain over three days, which was nothing short of magical.

On day two, we set up camp by a glacial lake located across the Chinese border in Khorimdik Valley. None of our crew or guides had ever been to this remote and magical location before, and we had only come to know of it through our nomadic family.”

– Yohei Ueno
