...golden mask. The process is documented in a National Geographic Channel special, King Tut's Final Secrets, airing May 29. The images also debunk the notion that Tut was murdered. The mysterious lump in the back of his skull, discovered in a 1968 X ray, was just a hardened clump of embalming resin...

...Palmeraie Oasis near the city of Marrakech. There is no restaurant, but there is a resident chef, and Bajia is your teacher. By the time you leave, you will never again make couscous from a box but will have learned to roll it (do not let it clump) sensually in your fingers. Your harissa (a fiery blend of cumin, garlic and red chilis) will be spiced perfectly, and cooking up sumptuous masterpieces in a peaked clay tagine will be your new dinner-party staple...
