Being based out of Dubai, gives me the opportunity to visit neighboring countries...which would have seemed inaccessible from my home island, Mauritius. I was recently in Jordan where I was attending a company meeting ....This a fantastic country and you should add it to your list, if you're looking for your next vacation destination. The meeting was held in a hotel near the dead sea....What an experience, floating on this salty lake at 400 m below sea level !!

I also had the opportunity of visiting the lost city of Petra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra, those of you who are Indiana Jones fans will recognize the place :-)

It was a humbling experience...Humanity is capable of such great things.
