Chad has always been a place where travelers say goodbye to their comfort zone and salute the adventure. The Art of Travel here is demanding in every sense of the word.

This, however, is part of the country's appeal: a chance to leave everything familiar behind and enter a place that promises experiences, good and bad, unlike those anywhere else. But if Chad is so demanding to travel through, why bother? Imagine sublime oases hidden in the northern deserts, vast herds of wildlife crossing national parks and the Lake Chad, with deep blue waters, awaiting the arrival of boats on its shores. In short, Chad is a country and a experience that you don't forget easily.

The bookshops also take us on journeys; and today, on their special day, don’t forget to visit your favourite so that you can daydreaming, asking, advising, reading and consulting guides, diving in travel literature, buy maps or travel accessories...

And there is no denying it: these bookshops are magnetic places with an irresistible appeal for all those who like travel, where we gather in search of kindred spirits as we take the first steps of a great journey — or, why not, on our return.

We would also like to express our thanks here to the booksellers that books offer us, those wonderful conveyors of dreams, hopes, passions.

  So we invite you to travel the world through our favourite bookshops

1. TOKYO – BOOK & BED

A bookshop where you can sleep: small compartments welcome those who want to stay and read. We can spend the night devouring books in Japanese or English. The concept has expanded with the opening of two more Book & Bed locations in Kyoto and Fukuoka.

When we think of pyramids the first thing our mind visualizes are the pyramids of Egypt. Did you know that Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt, yet sees almost no tourists? A rare luxury in today’s world of mass tourism.

Sudan is an African country which, like Egypt, has many pyramids and also bears witness to the natural talent of the human being and also its history. It is a wonderful place where we can touch the past with our fingertips, yet sadly it seems to have been forgotten. Sudan is one of the countries receiving the fewest tourists each year.
