Mancala is one of the most widespread games played in the world. The simple game involves two players taking turns capturing pits by dropping their pieces, usually represented by seeds or beans. The first archaeological evidence of the game was found in Petra, Jordan.

The Lost City of Stone, otherwise known as Petra, was a capital trading post and caravan-city. The Arab Nabataeans painstakingly carved their edifices into the sandstone cliffs. When new merchant routes emerged, the people simply moved on. Snap pictures in front of The Treasury, its most popular facade, to immortalize this bucket list adventure! Inhabitants didn’t just survive the desert climate, they thrived. They engineered systems that redirected the rainwaters to verdant gardens, refreshing swimming pools, and bubbling fountains. Silks and spices shuttled through the narrow canyons to and from Asia, Arabia, and the West. Immigrants also flocked here, growing the desert oasis to a 30,000-person cosmopolis. You’ll see this melting pot of cultures color the decorated walls, murals, and artwork still giving glory to Petra.

I was once at a dark phase in my life, and the things that helped me get out of that bubble were yoga and meditation. Not everyone going through depression talks freely about it, much less know what’s truly going on in their minds. I started conceptualizing Salt & Sky eco-resort in 2016, hoping to provide a sanctuary and a “home away from home” where people can escape and just be their authentic selves. The entire system is eco-friendly, and we also support the employment of locals around the area.
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is an iconic symbol of Paris and for good reason. By daytime, you will feel a sense of tranquility while looking at the architectural wonder standing majestically with the turquiose blue sky as its backdrop. By nighttime, La Tour Eiffel is mesmerizing to watch as its lights flicker on and off during its amazing light show.
