Welcome to the inaugural edition of Timeless Travels magazine! A massive edition packed with lots to read and enjoy. In this issue you can travel to Mexico, Syria, England, Croatia, Morroco, Italy, Jordan, Uzbekistan and Myanmar. Fancy visiting somewhere more off the beaten track? Then we share some secrets of the Silk Road in Uzbekistan or you can take a tour of the beautiful site of Bagan in Myanmar. ‘The rose red city, half as old of time…’ is an early description of Petra in Jordan and we give you the inside scoop on making the most of your visit to the site.

Did you know there are different styles of Maya architecture? In this issue we explore the Ruta Rio Bec style from the deepest rain forests in Mexico. There is an update on the archaeological heritage of Syria after so many years of war and the top Crusader castles to add to your bucket list to visit. On the art side we have the story of Artemisia Gentileschi, the first female painter to be admitted to the Academy in Florence in the 17th century and in Croatia we look at how Robert Adams was influenced by his trip in 1757 to Spalatro.

Our interview is with the award winning writer, traveller and historian, William Dalrymple and the Intrepid Traveller is the inestimable Gertrude Bell, adventurer, spy and archaeologist. We spend a weekend in Marakesh and review the new Tutankhamen exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford. And to finish off there is the latest art and archaeological news and exhibitions and a Dig Diary for those looking to take part in the best job in the world. Happy reading!
