Destinations of the World News - March 2022

في هذا العدد

Before Covid, my compass point seemed to naturally navigate me to far-flung corners of the world, where an over-sized suitcase, long-haul flight and jet-lag were all par for the course of a holiday. But then, when the skies overhead closed, I was forced to seek out adventures closer to home and this, it turns out, was a blessing in disguise. After 14 years of living in the Middle East, I was gifted an opportunity to re-explore my adopted homeland and to re-appreciate the pure beauty in the region’s diversity. A place that can take you from desert to mountain to city and sea in the same day – even in a matter of hours. And so, this issue is dedicated to exploring hidden corners of Arabia and learning to take the road less travelled.
On that note, if you are taking a road-trip, let the new Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost be your guide. Bold, daring and dramatic, it reveals the brand’s darkest side yet. Post-opulent and infinitely powerful. Venture out of shadows and into the night on a drive to one of Dubai’s most clandestine rendezvous points.
This issue will also take you on a lazy, lyrical trip to quiet Kefalonia and to the fresh air of the beautiful alpine town of Engelberg.
Enjoy!
