I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and YouTuber who's been to 53 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017. So far, my trips have taken me to Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.

I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This trip marked the start of my efforts to make a YouTube full-time job.

After that European trip I went heavily into exploring Asia, visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan (seeing me cover a lot of Far East and Southeast Asia in particular).

I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Palestine.

To date, I have not yet been to Australasia or South America. Though I am hoping to visit the latter sometime in 2022, along with a first stop in the Caribbean.

I've travelled to North America just once as a YouTuber, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.

In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting both Kenya and Tanzania, before making my way to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai on my way to Lebanon.

Vacation to Lebanon 2015

48 Hours in Tajikistan: Explore Dushanbe and the Fann Mountains

Travel to Tajikistan probably isn’t your first choice when thinking about a weekend away from Dubai. My first reaction when we booked Tajikistan was… what have we gotten ourselves into...?

It is definitely a destination to consider, so let us convince you why we think Tajikistan is the hidden gem of Central Asia.

Between the unexpected language barrier, money issues (see Tips below), cleanliness of the streets, gorgeous landscapes and incredibly friendly people, we had our share of everything that makes a weekend trip like this so special.

So here goes, we'll try to pack as many helpful tips below as possible so you can enjoy an incredible 48 hours of travel to Tajikistan as well.

Travel to Tajikistan - Questions & Answers:

How to travel to Tajikistan from Dubai?

The best way to travel to Tajikistan from Dubai is by plane. We took a very convenient flight with Somon Air from DXB to Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Comfortable and efficient, the flight cost us AED 1,300 each ($330). Somon Air is the new national airline of Tajikistan and while they remain a majority domestic airline, we were surprised at how clean, comfortable and easy the flight was. Considering it was an airline we had never heard of before and our ticket confirmations were all in Tajik, we were skeptical.

What is the weather like in Tajikistan?

We went to Tajikistan in July, and the weather was absolutely beautiful, especially coming from oven-like Dubai. Think 25 degrees during the day, going down to 20 during the night. No humidity, and sun all day long!

If you are going to head up to the Fann mountains, and you'd be insane not to, bring a long sleeve shirt, especially if you go at night. The mountains were topped with snow, even in the middle of the summer.



What to do during 48 Hours in Tajikistan?

1 - Visit the World's Tallest Flagpole

Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan, and while it’s small, it is very lively. The tallest flag pole is Trip Advisor’s number 1 attraction, but don't be fooled, it’s worth going to see just to people watch! While the flag and flag pole are interesting themselves it really is the amazingly beautiful setting of the park, the perfectly taken care of gardens, statues, lakes and people strolling that make it so fun to walk through. Drinks and snacks are sold by multiple vendors and you won't need more than a couple bucks to enjoy an afternoon. If you aren't careful, you might get dragged into a Tajik wedding celebration so bring you dancing shoes!

2 -Trek to the Seven Lakes

Hiking and trekking are very popular in Tajikistan. Although they are more suited to a longer stay, it is recommended to tackle the seven lakes trek - made up of seven lakes around the mountains, each one a different color. While a trek will take more time, getting up into the mountains even for a couple hours is an absolute must.



3 - Explore the Hissar Fort

Hissar Fort is only 30 minutes away from Dushanbe city centre, and is an absolute must do. The architecture is gorgeous and the history about it fascinating. We had no idea what to expect but were floored when we arrived to see such an incredible ancient fort, from the 1200's, looking so beautiful and with such a well preserved setting. Getting lost in the old fort and surrounding buildings is very interesting and there is even a watering hole from a natural spring and horseback riding for the kids.

4 - Climb the Fann Mountains

The Fann Mountains are beautiful, and if you have the time we strongly recommend to get up there, if only to admire the view over the valley. If you are scared of heights like me (Anne), it’s a bit of a love/hate moment, but it’s worth it. Stop on the way at one of the artisanal honey making stands along the road and taste organic Tajik honey - honestly the best we’ve ever tasted. Bee careful of bee stings (see what I did there...)

5 - Stroll through Rudaki Park

Rudaki Park (named after the famous Tajik poet) is the central heart beat of Dushanbe and left us quite speechless after getting lost in its seemingly endless sections.


6 - Be a Child at Boghi Poytakht

Plan a trip to Boghi Poytakht Park and the Botanical Garden, both located close to each other on the outskirts of Dushanbe, which is already a small city. The botanical gardens are vast and relaxing to visit while Boghi Poytakht Park is a bustling amusement park complete with roller coasters, a huge ferris wheel and is even connected to a gigantic water park - which we were gutted to run out of time to visit.

A Long Weekend in Lebanon | Condé Nast Traveler

Filmmaker Mounia Akl takes us on a tour of her home country of Lebanon, showing us the range of experiences you can have over the course of a single trip. Think it’s too difficult to fit a night on the town in Beirut, an escape to the tranquility of the Bekaa Valley, a wedding in Hippodrome, and a couple of ski runs in Faraya all into one vacation? Think again.

Paris Nuit Beirut Jour - Colombe Clier - Annabel Karim Kassar - Handle with care

Ici, d’une autre façon, Colombe explore les limites du document. Les images plus descriptives d’un état des lieux semblent évoluer soutenues par une bande son fidèle. Bruits de la rue, dialogues libanais. Mais encore une fois, l’effet de fiction et de négation vient jouer les troubles fêtes car la bande son n’a pas été enregistrée à Beyrouth chez Annabel Kassar mais à Paris, devant l’appartement parisien de l’architecte, au pied duquel chaque nuit, par un hasard des faits le plus total, deux voituriers libanais, travaillent pour un célèbre club parisien. Il est là question du pays et du lointain. Comme chez Duras, d’exotisme et d’ordinaire. Et s’il on vient à prêter l’oreille, l’on entendra alors la pluie, l’orage parisien de ce mois de mai 2017, et l’on découvrira en cette vidéo, la présence du pays, et l’appel du lointain.

Château Ksara Harvest Activation

Harvest is different this year at Château Ksara.
Influencers were invited to help us pick up the grapes. Check out the fun we had.

#MarthaTakes BEIRUT

Beirut is my home away from home. A place to be happy, to feel safe. It's a wonderful city where you can go to the beach in the morning, and ski in the afternoon.

I made this video so you can enjoy my Beirut!

Hope you guys enjoy it!!
