    IN this Saturday’s issue of London’s popular Country Life Magazine, MAPg managing director, Mark Abouzeid, discusses the work of the Bedouin Heritage Project which the agency has provided its full support.

    “The bedu in Wadi Rum, Jordan, occupy a unique cultural space and possess a way of life that has been recognized as a intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO,” explains Abouzeid. “That same body also identified the loss of culture as one of the prime causes of the many problems we face today: pollution, water shortages, disenfranchisement, violence and intolerance, to name a few.” Read More

    MAPg named Official Photographer & Press Office for Fiabesque 2009

    The world as a fable.

    The world as a fable.

    Each winter, as most Tuscans begin to dream of Christmas festivities, the town of Peccioli begins a transformation from real life to storybook…a world of lights, poetry, actors, dancers, mimes, colors, music and storybook characters as large as the building that make up this small medieval town….a living fable.

    Now in its 6th year, Fiabesque offers something for everyone but mostly everything for children.  This is a world they dream of but that only comes alive in film and cartoons.  Watching a live rendition of a fable with actors and dancers interacting directly with cartoon characters projected on buildings, the audience becomes a part of the world presented.

    The North Pole

    Posted in: featured work, travel

    (Mark Abouzeid)“On April 1st, famed russian arctic explorer, Victor Boyarsky, opened the North Pole to amateur adventurers in a new form of extreme ‘eco’ tourism. I accompanied Victor on the maiden voyage braving temperatures of -74 degrees celsius and a polar ice cap drift of 1,5 KM per hour; we were one of the first and only expeditions to reach the Pole this year.” Mark Abouzeid, Adventure Magazine, Feb – Mar 2009.
