Golden Inspirations

Gold. An element, a noble metal, money, an object of desire, delivers countless attractions to its visitors such as the pos- an indicator of wealth, jewellery, financial security. Gold is eve- sibility of observing the process of obtaining gold from the rything, nevertheless for each of us to a different extent. river or cleaning gold nuggets as it was hundreds of years ago. When I was receiving the First Holy Communion, some The richest cities in the world, Dubai or Abu Dhabi, dazzle with three decades ago, owing gold was an indicator of wealth. gold everywhere. It would be difficult not include it in our book A gold necklace with a medallion was something every child of travelling. It is also worth visiting , especially Jaipur with ending the second class of primary school should have. Later in my life I preferred platinum due to the fact that I associated gold with Nazi money business (so called Jewish gold), smuggling from during the time of communism, Gold Souk, Dubai or the ‘90s nouveau riche. Platinum is a rare and harder than other noble metals, often confused with silver. Therefore, I was less prone to getting robbed while wearing platinum jewellery, gifts from my beloved. When I was an adult, I started to take an interest in the provenance of gold. I learned that it was mined mainly in , South America, , the United States and Africa, my favourite continent. In there is the deepest gold mine in the world which extends to a depth of about 3,500 metres. Gold can be mined even from a small mother lode. In Poland there were once gold mines and even today gold 24 K cappucino, Emirates Palace is extracted but only in small quantities and while extracting other raw materials like copper. Unfortunately, mother lodes of gold are in our country too small for the process of mining gold exclusively to be affordable. My attitude towards gold is ambiguous. I do not have much gold jewellery, but I am interested in the art and architecture Diana Carter, created using gold and its origin. I often travel to the Near East, Royal Mansour, Marrakech Psusennes and India where gold is the king and the sumptuous- ness of gold embellished hotels, temples, and palaces pleases its numerous boutiques selling gold jewellery (India is the world’s the eye. biggest gold market), and later relax on board the most luxurious Many cult touristic destinations, places and countries, train in South India, called, nota bene, the Golden Chariot… are connected with gold.

Recently, I have visited the Valley of the Kings and the Egyptian Museum which belongs to the most interesting mu- seums in the world thanks to its amazing exhibits such as the gold Tutankhamun’s mask and many other gold items from the pharaonic era. Luxury Travel offers its clients a unique possibility of visit- ing ‘golden’ destinations, travelling our trails, where they will be able to find not only wealth connected with gold, but also get a taste of local culture and history. Luxury Travel will organize for example an exceptional journey to with an individual visit to Nefertiti’s tomb or mentioned above Egyptian Museum in Cairo. A private visit (even for 2 people!) to these historical places costs from 5,000$ depending on the place and the num- ber of people. Coming back to gold… It is also present in some unique cu- linary delights, often in hotels from the offer of Luxury Travel. Let’s take for example cappuccino sprinkled with real 24 carat gold flakes served in the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Or the most expensive ice-cream dessert in New York that costs 1,000$. Or, if someone has a crave for a classy party in the even- ing I recommend the ‘Gigi’ drink with a 24 carat additive served in the district of Mayfair in London. It is a mixture of vintage champagne and rare brandy from 1888 that costs an enormous sum of 9,000 pounds… It is the leading idea of this catalogue: indecent luxury and the Golden List of Places worth visiting! I am sure the list will satisfy our regular customers. We also would like to wel- come new customers who will obtain our catalogue and have a chance to travel with Luxury Travel for the first time.
