Modern Luxury in an Ancient Land: Petra and The Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea
If a visit to the kingdom of Jordan is not on your to-do list, it should be. The superb hospitality of the people and the beautiful natural and historical treasures you can experience in this peaceful country are more than worth the trip. However, I have one more reason to add; the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea. Video produced and presented by Richard Crawford Luxury Rich Ancient Heritage and Palatial Façade Taking its cue from Jordan’s rich ancient heritage and abundance of well-preserved antiquities, the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea borrows the inspiration for its palatial façade and lush hanging gardens from the ancient kingdom of Babylon.

An Exclusive Tour of the World Famous Sydney Opera House I may never get a chance to perform to a cheering crowd at the Sydney Opera House, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t performed there.

Of course, I’ve also sat in the best seat in the house. See the video of this exclusive tour below…

The Palio is an expression of the city’s history, the passion of its citizens and the rich Tuscan region of which it is a part.

The Fairmont The Palm Dubai Hotel is Everything You Love About Dubai
There is so much to do and enjoy in Dubai that you would have a hard time listing all of it. However, you can find a sampling of all of it in one hotel, the Fairmont The Palm Dubai. This large five-star resort hotel is located on “trunk” of the iconic Palm Jumeirah development, right on the Arabian Gulf and with beautiful views of the city skyline. If the hotel’s only amenities were the oasis-like pool area, featuring three individual pools to ensure that families, children and couples without children can each enjoy a custom atmosphere, and the vast private beach, it would already be very inviting. However, the Fairmont The…
