Beauty at work in Luxor


These images reflect the beauty of a sunset in the Nile river and the quiet sailing of the typical falucca along the longest river in the world. It is the view that we could enjoy from the Hotel Steigenberger's swimming-pool in Luxor. Despite of the recession in tourism, the hotel employees maintain high levels of activity and their attitude helps this fantastic hotel keep the status as the Nile Palace .

Fear and hope in Egypt



This video shows the hope of the Egypt as reflected by the activity in the food sector, second of importance in the economy of Luxor.
Fear has severely affected tourism in Egypt. We were the only guests of Venus Hotel, even though it is situated only a couple of minutes from Luxor Temple and has very cheap rates.

Jewish cemetery

What are the requirements to be buried in this Jewish cemetery in Jerusalem? Obviously being dead, but also have quite a lot of money as there are many interested in the location. The cemetery is in the mount of the olives, in the Kidron valley, right next to Jerusalem. Behind this group of Jews, a mosque was calling Muslims to pray. No words required, their gestures and emotions explain everything.

From the ancient Jaffa of Tel Aviv

From the ancient Jaffa of Tel Aviv (Israel) a couple of Christian Arabs tell us about their relationship and their projects together.  The ambience in the Jaffa is ideal for romance, narrow streets and many synagogues  mosques and churches. This interview will nourish the documentary ''Love and sex in the five continents''. They tell us about how long they've been together, how much they love each other, how many children they want to have, how frequently they make love and how their religion and work influence their love.
