Sunrise over the Pyramids, Sudan

Sunrise over the Pyramids, Sudan

After hours on an evening bus through the middle of no where in the northern Sudanese desert, the bus stopped as this is the place. Casted out with nothing other than a backpack, piece of carpet to sleep on, and a head torch to wander through the desert at night with, thats exactly what happened. After wondering for what seemed like an hour or two, the pyramids were no where to be found against the blackness of night. Only from the help of a...

Streets of Fes, Morocco

Streets of Fes, Morocco

A typical street in the northern Moroccan town Fes. Here you can very easily get lost, as one nearly identical street leads into another and before you know it, you are far from where you may have wanted to be.

Here I stayed for several nights, and basically had the entire place to...

Snake Charming, Morocco

Snake Charming, Morocco

A ‘snake charmer’ in the central square of Marrakech, Morocco, performing his street act. Quick fact Check: ‘Snake Charming’ isn’t actually real (the snakes are not actually hypnotised). The melody of the flute is purely for show, as snakes can not actually hear sound. The swaying of the snake as it stands is a standard natural defence mechanism by the snake as it mimics the motion of its potential...
