Abandoned mosque and mausoleum of Shahin al-Khalwati, Cairo
Places saved is collection of stories, photos and guides from the road compiled by me: Anthon Jackson. In part, it’s a revival of a long-defunct blog (‘Wanderings,’ it was aptly called then), begun in the days when smart phones and apps remained a few years in the future (at least for me) – as did Google’s brilliant Saved Places function, only launched in 2017. It’s my hope that you’ll find something worthwhile here in this expanding and somewhat haphazard collection, perhaps something to tempt you to add a pin or two from my map to yours.
