Introducing the August/September issue of Condé Nast Traveller Middle East ☀️ ‘The sinking feeling hit as we watched the same bags circle around the carousel for the 100th time. With each disappointing empty loop, more panic set in. It happened for the second time this summer: luggage lost in the chaos many European airports are facing. But initial devastation turned into a sort of freedom, and when (three days later) my suitcase returned, I found myself not even opening it. Strangely, less baggage meant less unpacking, less time pondering outfits and more for exploring. Nothing should get in the way of the excitement of travel. For those who encounter a similar problem, and are in glitzy destinations like Ibiza, Cap Ferrat or Capri, the world’s best fashion brands are running pop-ups this summer and will soon have you forgetting about your suitcase.’ Discover the issue via the link in bio COVER 1 OF 2📍 @numoierapetra EDITORIAL DIRECTOR ALISON TAY @thestyleeditor FEATURES EDITOR ISABELLA SULLIVAN @izziesullivan_ ART DIRECTOR ATHINA SYMEONIDOU @athensbyday BRAND MANAGER @mjagra
