...Welcome to Panorama: The Journal of Intelligent Travel‘s long awaited LOST, our fifth issue, which we are dedicating to the great traveller, Anthony Bourdain, whose recent passing has affected us all. We offer this issue in celebration of his storytelling. The word lost originates from the Old English losian, meaning to perish. While this collection features many narratives of loss, it also illuminates the journey to being found. We hope Bourdain is finding his way home.
...To get to Darat al Funun ask the concierge at your hotel to write the name in Arabic so that your taxi will drop you somewhere in the right neighbourhood. After getting out of the cab, ask directions from the first person you see – a man carrying an umbrella and a newspaper. Show him the slip of paper where the concierge has written your destination in careful, looping script. This person will point down the street. He will gesture to the right and to the left. His hand moves like a fish in the air. Make your hand into a smaller fish and repeat the movement. He will smile and you will smile. You will all shake hands and say things that ring with gratitude.
