The Lake at the Edge of the World
No roads lead here. You arrive by boat along the shore of Lake Tanganyika, and somewhere above you in the forest, a thousand chimpanzees are watching.
At the Foot of the Thunder Dragon
Only eight pilots in the world can land here. The kingdom charges you $100 a day to visit, and uses it to stay exactly as it is.
At the Gate of Mecca
For a thousand years, Jeddah was the port. Pilgrims came ashore, were processed, and sent inland. The buildings the ships saw first are still standing — some of them, anyway.
The Blue at the Centre of the World
For an hour and a half before the tour groups arrive, the Registan is yours alone, and the cobalt changes colour as the light moves. A country deciding in real time how much of its old self to keep.
