It was on a trip to Dubai where I was planning a trip to Tehran, and I found an 8 hour layover in Qatar. I had heard very little of this little Pearl in the Persian Gulf. Qatar Airways had all sorts of cool destinations and for a decent price I was able to fly…
I was inspired by a photo on Bing. I saw what looked like huge granite rocks with old buildings hanging off the sides. As I did research I found these monasteries from 500+ years ago that continue to exist in inhospitable places. I was sure they were designed for protection back in the day, but…

The 15 minutes of fame as one commenter mentioned continues as the…
