Adventures of a Visual Storyteller
For few days I escaped from my busy life in Bahrain and went to absolute tranquility paradise. I wanted to detox mentally and physically so I started searching for a quick escape destination and I decided to go to Kandy in Sri Lanka. The moment I found Santani Wellness Resort’s page online I knew this […]
I’m getting to love travelling with only an analog camera. There is always the pleasure of not having to return home carrying hundreds and maybe thousands of digital photos to go through. 35mm film camera and a number of rolls is all I had to worry about during my last trip to Singapore. I was […]
Japan had been on my mind for a long time. I always dreamed of travelling to Japan in Sakura “Cherry blossom” season. First and foremost without a doubt 2016 had been a remarkable travel year for me, the remarkable part definitely includes Japan. Within a month I decided to plan my Sakura trip and do it backpacking. I […]
2016 has been a marvelous year, a year I will always remember for its accomplishments and getting over many implanted fears and phobias. When I look back thinking what was the biggest achievement of the year and whether I reached my goals, I can’t think of a single event. I had my first solo […]
There are many great hotels around the world but let’s be real if this hotel was good enough for Sophia Loren to stay then ofcourse it should be very special! It doesn’t take much to fall in love with Rooms hotel Tbilisi. “Rooms” is part of the international group Design Hotels. I fell in love […]
As soon as I stepped foot in Tbilisi she (yes she’s a she) greeted me with her beautiful vibe and free WIFI public network “Tbilisi loves you”! I’ve heard many people rave about their love for Tbilisi. I tried hard to resist the love trap but I just couldn’t! I just fell for Tbilisi. What’s not to love I mean they […]
I just returned from an amazing backpacking trip to the Caucasus. In 10 days I visited Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. Even though I travelled with a backpack (I love my Tortuga backpack) I’m still not sure if I can call myself a backpacker? I mean I do stay in nice hotels and use taxis if […]
With all the daily news of bloodshed spilt all over the world, one can only wish Peace for the world. Wishing peace and harmony and love to everyone. Have a blessed and happy Eid Mubarak. I took this photo last year during Eid Al Fitr in Bali. As usual I will be off for another […]
Like all Arabs I grew up hearing about the lost Islamic Kingdom of Al Andalus (Andalusia) we learned about those prosperous times and the events that followed. I always dreamed of visiting Andalusia I just wasn’t sure how, when or where to start. Beside what I learned in school curriculum, I wanted to know more of […]
I’m not sure when exactly I started taking “From where I stand” series. But I’m so glad I started documenting my travels this way. From beautiful beaches, wildflowers to Mediterranean tiles, this style has made appreciate the world bottom up. The best addition to my FWIS series were the customized Wanderlust Toms shoes I ordered from Etsy. […]
Visiting Prague was like stepping into a children’s storybook. Colorful buildings, Art and music in every corner. It was very easy to fall under the charm of this city. It is the capital of Czech republic and the historical capital of Bohemia. Prague is not only the most photogenic city I have ever been, […]
Live TV was the most terrifying experience of my life. Few months ago I was interviewed LIVE on Bahrain TV did I mention it was LIVE ! It was my first live interview which explains the anxiety but actually it went better than expected. You can catch my interview from minute 33:50.
I always go on photo walks in Bahrain, however this time it was a different type of walk. On a hot and humid day in May it was just me, a talented photog-friend and a few film rolls. We went exploring the coastal side of Muharraq, my hometown and where I belong though it has […]
I always loved using Hong Kong International airport as a transit hub whenever I travelled to Asia. Cathay Pacific is my favorite Asian airline. I did stop at Hong Kong a couple of times but I never actually left the airport area. However this time I decided to intentionally take a later flight in order to actually […]
