Wojciech Fedoruk Profile

Travelling is my biggest passion. I try to spend every day of my vacation time (unfortunately, limited to 26 days a year) travelling. I travel mostly with my family and sometimes solo. I love going to remote places and always plan visiting as many WH sites as possible. Although sometimes they are not rewarding, in most cases visiting WHS gives me much better understanding of the region I visit.

I find this site very helpful in planning my trips to more difficult WHS and want to share my reviews especially on rarely visited ones.

Zee Ain Heritage Village in Al-Baha Region (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 07-Sep-22

Zee Ain (Thee Ain) is a stone village built in the fashion of traditional villages from the region. Zee Ain is a model example of Saudi Arabia's approach to tourist attractions. It looks beautiful from a distance and should be one of the top attractions of the country - all stone, very photogenic on the slope of the mountain. I drove up to the village itself, left the car in a large parking lot and headed up the hill. There was a couple of tourists on the spot, and otherwise a complete void. No ranger, no souvenir seller, no signs of life at all! I walked freely between the buildings, but apart from stones and wood, there was absolutely nothing there - no written information

Farasan Islands Protected Area (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 07-Sep-22

Farasan Islands is the largest archipelago of Saudi Arabia. It can be reached by ferry from Jizan, and the ferries depart twice a day - around 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. I knew the ferry was free but had no idea if that included the car as well. It turned out so! This is probably the only place in the world where the two-hour ferry takes tourists with cars free of charge.

Tickets are booked at the headquarters of MACNA (The Maritime Company for Navigation), [...]

The Ancient Walled Oases of Northern Arabia (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 05-Sep-22

After visiting the wonderful WHS Rock Art of Hail, instead of going straight to Al-Ula, I headed north to the town of Dumat Al-Jandal. Dumat Al-Jandal is only 260 kilometers from Jubbah of desert and, as I can say, there was probably not a single gas station between these cities. There were spectacular dunes and a road as straight as a table.

Dumat Al-Jandal is a place with an extremely rich history. It has been inhabited since at least the 8th century B.C.E. and is mentioned in the Assyrian chronicles and (possibly) the Bible. In Roman times, the town was a border post of Arab Limes, and then an important city of pre-Islamic and Islamic empires. Muhammad obtained it as early as 626 AD, that is 4 years after the famous victorious escape to Medina.

Archaeological complex of Marcahuamachuco (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 05-Sep-22

Marcahuamachuco is a ruin of a pre-Inca city, founded around 400 AD. and inhabited for about 1,000 years thereafter, until the Inca conquest. The complex was one of the most important centers of power in northern Peru.The place is located on the top of a mountain, well over 3000 meters above sea level, so climbing the ruins requires a lot of effort. Quite a lot has been preserved from the ruins, although it cannot be compared to the wonderful Peruvian monuments from the area of Cusco. Admission is free, but the entrance is guarded by a security guard who registers tourists.Marcahuamachuco is definitely off the beaten track in Peru, although it is on the way from Trujillo to Pataz - the gateway to Rio Abiseo National Park

Rio Abiseo National Park

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 26-Jun-22

Site visited in June 2022. Rio Abiseo is undoubtedly the most difficult WHS to visit in Peru and one of the most difficult in South America. Traveling to such places is especially exciting, so I couldn't let it go while planning a trip to Peru with my family.

You can get to Rio Abiseo in two ways: from the east, from Tarapoto (which has connections to Lima), where you can visit the lower part of the park with tropical forest, or from the west, where the gate to the park is Pataz and you visit the high-mountain part of the park, with archaeological sites, including the most famous Gran Pajaten. For logistics reasons, I only considered the western route. Besides, I am not sure if the eastern route covers the core zone or only parts of the Abiseo River outside the national park.
