...Stewart sometimes wears his age awkwardly. He often grabs unsuspecting friends for a dramatic tango across barroom floors. And, like a boyish backpacker, he worries that a long-anticipated camel trek across Afghanistan may seem irresponsible now that he needs to knuckle down to his job (which involves, among other things, raising $45 million to endow his ngo for preserving Afghanistan's heritage, the Turquoise Mountain Foundation).

...dedicated field guide, one of three staff assigned to each suite, helps you choose activities, from falconry to horseback riding to nature walks. The four-wheel desert drive is a must for all but the most queasy - the dunes are high and the incline steep - and the late afternoon camel trek, perfectly timed to watch the sun sink into the sand, shouldn't be missed.
