 Taj Mahal, Agra, India - at dusk
Natalie Davis – General Manager, On The Go, Australia I visited the Taj Mahal at dusk. After exploring for about an hour, a sandstorm blew over and virtually all of the other visitors left or took shelter. I remained outside, covered my face and head with my scarf and continued staring in awe, taking the most amazing, surreal pictures. It is a truly beautiful monument made even more so by enjoying it almost completely alone and under the shroud of a million particles of sand.

Place Djemaa El Fna, Marrakech, Morocco
Sharon McDonald – Customer Liaison, On the Go, London Place Djemaa El Fna in Marrakech comes alive at night to the sound of drums. Snake charmers, belly dancers, storytellers and magicians hold the crowds of locals and tourists alike enthralled. Meanwhile the square is filled with smoke and the tantalising aromas of the evening feast of spiced tagines, couscous and brochettes. It is the most exotic sight I’ve ever witnessed and the food is simply amazing! |

Ger Camp, Mongolia
Charlie Bridger – Product Executive, On the Go, London On a recent journey on the Trans-Siberian I had the opportunity to stay with a Nomadic family in Mongolia. I have great memories of simply sitting inside the Ger (the felt tent that is their portable home) and drinking fermented mare’s milk with the family. It was warm and cosy inside, surprisingly well furnished and even though the mare’s milk is an acquired taste, it was such a great experience to be communing with people who are still living such a traditional nomadic existence. Truly memorable!

Sound and Light show at Karnak Temple, Luxor, Egypt
Anjali Shetty – Web Designer, On the Go, London The Sound and Light show at Karnak brought back a faint memory of a light show I had seen as a child at the Red Fort, Delhi. The Show began at the Avenue of Sphinxes. A voice spoke; "May the evening soothe and welcome you oh travellers from Upper Egypt" and instantly we were tranported back in time. Walking through the dark hypostyle hall, lit by hidden spotlights and the voices of the pharaohs, the whole experience was mesmerising! |
