Jan. 22 – This is a proposal for traveling abroad to discover cultures, traditions, and civilizations; a tailor-made tour for “Indiana Jones” lovers. The project by the University of Venice’s “Ca ‘ Foscari Travellers Club” was modeled on that of other prestigious international universities – Cambridge and Oxford are at the top of the list; and aims to experience a different way of traveling with groups abroad. VIa the expert guidance of university professors, the journey itself becomes intellectual, lively and dynamic, but most importantly open to all: passionate travelers and curious first comers. This upcoming destinations are Jordan and Armenia, the land of Arab falconry and Eastern liturgical tradition, respectively. Wadi Rum, Jerash and Petra are legendary locations along the Dead Sea in Jordan that are suffering with the current lack of water resources. The “Indiana Jones” taking part in the trip will have as their guide Massimo Khairallah, who teaches Arabic language and Arab culture at Ca ‘ Foscari, and is an expert on the country. In Armenia, Aldo Ferrari will lead the group of eager explorers in the land of ” screaming stones.” Each journey becomes an experience of life in a nation, with its traditions, cultures, religions and unusual places unmentioned in tourist guidebooks. The “Ca ‘ Foscari Travellers Club” offers an opportunity to exchange knowledge and learn something new through dedicated lectures during the adventure.
