Here, finally, is a chance to explore the social and cultural setting that produced not only Saddam, but also one of the Arab world?s greatest heroes, Salahuddin - or, as the Crusaders knew him, Saladin. Here?s a chance to chat...
...rafting expeditions. In spring and winter, the company and several other firms organize helicopter skiing and snowboarding down steep volcanoes as well as visits to indigenous reindeer herders by dogsled or snowmobile. Other companies specialize in bear hunting and trout fishing. Meanwhile, cruise ships ply the shores, scouting sea lion colonies and groups of rare Steller's sea eagles with their two-meter wingspans...
