Shoot in Sri Lanka
Set in the Indian Ocean in South Asia, the tropical island nation of Sri Lanka has a history dating back to the birth of time. It is a place where the original soul of Buddhism still flourishes and where nature’s beauty remains abundant and unspoilt.
Few places in the world can offer the traveller such a remarkable combination of stunning landscapes, pristine beaches, captivating cultural heritage and unique experiences within such a compact location. Within a mere area of 65,610 kilometres lie 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 1,330 kilometres of coastline - much of it pristine beach - 15 national parks showcasing an abundance of wildlife, nearly 500,000 acres of lush tea estates, 250 acres of botanical gardens, 350 waterfalls, 25,000 water bodies, to a culture that extends back to over 2,500 years.
This is an island of magical proportions, once known as Serendib, Taprobane, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, and Ceylon. Discover refreshingly Sri Lanka!

Large Muslim population in Sri Lanka: Namaz in Colombo Masjid
Sri Lankan muslims offer namaz at Colombo's Red Mosque.
In the hustle and bustle of Pettah, Colombo’s core commercial district, is situated a most striking building, a spiritual haven called Jamiul Alfar Masjid. This mosque is remarkable because the architecture is Indo-Saracenic, incorporating pomegranate-shaped domes. But the most extraordinary feature is that each brick is painted red or white and used in contrasting designs, which gave rise to its common name, the Red Mosque.
During the 7th Century CE, Arab dhows with their distinctive lateen sails filled with monsoon wind began in earnest to sail south-eastwards across the Indian Ocean. Aboard were traders whose destination was the Island they called Serendib—“Island of Rubies”—in search of those precious gems, but also pungent spices, perfect pearls, and much else besides.
Used to mostly barren landscapes, these traders, many of whom came from the ancient city of Aleppo, experienced much pleasure at the sight of Nature’s verdancy and the discovery of its treasures. Thus Serendib was also known as Tenarisin, “Island of Delights” and Jazirat Kakut, “Island of Gems”.
Such was the lure of the stories conveyed not only to the traders of Aleppo but also those of Baghdad—read the astonishingly accurate portrayal of Serendib in Sinbad’s two voyages to the Island contained in the 1001 Arabian Nights—that traders began to settle down on the west coast in the 8th Century. It’s said the first settlement was at the nowadays coastal resort of Beruwela, which in Sinhala means “the place where the sail is lowered”.
These Arabs brought with them not only fabulous goods but also their beloved faith, Islam, which was then enjoying its Golden Age. Indeed some early traders made the Serendib voyage when the Prophet Mohammad was alive. There was an expansion of believers primarily due to the far-travelled traders who settled at Beruwela and elsewhere in Serendib—and all over Asia. They married local wives who had converted to Islam (today their descendants are called Sri Lankan Moors). And Beruwela is where the first mosque was built on the Island, c 920 CE, located on a rocky peninsula where the modern version now stands.
Over the next millennium much change occurred concerning the Muslim community in Sri Lanka. Until the 16th Century Arab merchants controlled much of the country’s trade with the blessing of the monarchy, which saw them as an economical and political asset. There was also racial amity between the Sinhalese and Muslims. But then the Portuguese arrived and Muslims were persecuted by the colonists, with west coast settlers fleeing to the Kandyan Kingdom and the east.
During the 18th and 19th Centuries, Javanese and Malaysian Muslims brought by the Dutch and British contributed to the Islamic mix (their descendants are called Sri Lankan Malays). Members of the Borah community (Borah means “trade”), a Yemen-evolved Muslim sub-sect from Gujarat, North India, also arrived during this period, together with descendants of Arab traders who had settled in the state of Tamil Nadu, South India.
Many of the South Indian Muslims had their trade establishments in Colombo at Pettah—traditionally associated with busy commercial activity, bazaars and markets—a district that means in Anglo-Indian “outside the fort”, which is also the meaning of the Sinhala name pita-kotuwa. These devout Muslims needed a place to pray five times a day, as prescribed, so they decided for convenience to erect a mosque close to their businesses.
The Masjid land was bought by these South Indian Muslim businessmen and donated to the noble cause. Once built the Masjid was registered as a Trust, which remains the same today with the present Trustees appointed from the descendants of the original donors and Trustees of the Masjid.

Déjà la deuxième vidéo ! Un format différent, bien plus travaillé mais qui demande également plus de temps. Tourné et filmé ça en une semaine a été un vrai défi (surtout qu'on devait également travaillé pour l'hôtel) mais c'est toujours un plaisir de vous partager ça.
N'oublie pas de laisser un commentaire pour tenter de gagner un des deux prints, les gagnants seront contactés et annoncés lors de la prochaine vidéo !

Это наше первое путешествие всей семьей. Мы едем на Шри Ланку. Мы едем в пресс тур от AnexTour, наша задача - показать красоты Шри Ланки и посмотреть максимально много за две недели, чтобы любой путешественник мог для себя определить, что ему интересно было бы увидеть на Шри Ланке, если он захочет туда поехать.
В этой серии мы увидели Коломбо и жемчужину острова - гору Сигирия.
В последний раз я был здесь в 2010 году и за 8 лет, Коломбо очень сильно изменился, он вырос вверх. Появилось много крутых мест для туристов и огромное количество небоскребов. Город хоть и старый, но туристу тут особо смотреть нечего. Коломбо чаще всего используют как транзитный пункт.
А вот про Сигирию так сказать нельзя. Сигирия безусловно заслуживает полноценного дня на ее посещение, некоторые используют и два дня, но это все зависит от вашего расписания и планов.
Сигирия - огромная скала, на вершине которой находился огромный дворец царя Кассиапы. А вокруг скалы были крепостные стены и сады, создающие приятную прохладу, за счет огромного количества бассейнов и фонтанов (некоторые из которых работают до сих пор!)
Подъем на Сигирию - 1222 ступеньки и мы переживали, что наш ребенок (5 лет) не сможет подняться самостоятельно. Устанет и начнет портить всем настроение на середине пути, но оказывается мы были плохого мнения о нем! Он не только поднялся и спустился самостоятельно, но и сделал это быстрее всех взрослых! Да еще и веселил нас и помогал снимать это видео!

Port of Hambanthota, Sri Lanka - The Future Shipping Hub of South Asia
Documentary on brand new Port of Hambanthota. Sri Lanka, an island in South Asia is regarded as the bright pearl of Indian Ocean. Hambanthota (Maganthota) Port lies 10 knots from the bussiest International Europe-Far East shipping rote. The Water Influx ceremony of the world's first international harbour completely built inland was inaugurated by President Mahinda Rajapaksa at 9.00 a.m. on Sunday, (15th August). Hambantota had been a well known sea port in the ancient history of Sri Lanka as the name Hambana itself being the name of sailing vessels that had been used in the ancient times that frequented many Asian ports. Even the activities of Hambantota as a sea port are mentioned in the R.L.Bohier's book on Sri Lanka written in the Second Century. Hambantota is situated at closest point to the main shipping route that connects East and West. 200 to 300 ships ply this area daily, and now they call at Singapore and Dubai Ports.
The idea of building a modern port in Hambantota was first mooted by the late Parliamentarian Mr. D.A.Rajapaksa, the father of President Rajapaksa. But it did not materialize. Later the idea came up time to time, raised in Parliament by many Mps. It remained a suggestion but never saw the light of the day due to many reasons. The Chairman of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority Dr. Priyath Bandu Wickrema says that a foreign company which was hired to carry out a feasibility study reported saying the location, Hambantota was not suitable to build a harbor and this brought the whole project to halt. However, Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister then, was not impressed by the pessimistic attitude of the report and was determined to overcome the negative reaction and proceed with it.
Upon becoming President in November 2005, China was chosen to fund the project. Dr. Bandu says that Sri Lanka made an open request for funding and China was the first to respond. The port was built on a 2000 hectares of land and 450 families lived in the area were relocated with payment of adequate compensation.
The Hambantota Port is being constructed by the Chinese companies China Harbour Engineering Company and Sinohydro Corporation. The total cost of the first phase of the project is estimated at $360 million. 85% of the funding is provided by the Chinese Government and the remaining 15% by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.
The mouth of the natural harbour at Hambantota has a 22m depth. When completed, the port will have a 1.5 km long breakwater, with a minimum basin depth of 17m. The turning circle will be 600m. A dam will also be built to prevent flooding in nearby areas, and a seawall made of interlocking concrete blocks will protect the port from high seas.
A $550 million tax-free port zone is being set up outside the port, with local and international companies expressing interest in setting up shipbuilding, ship-repair and warehousing facilities in the zone. The Port is expected to provide 13,000 direct and indirect employments to over 100,000 people
The first phase of the Port will consist of two 600m general purpose berths, a 310m bunkering berth and a 120m small craft berth. It will also contain a bunkering facility and tank farm which will include 8 tanks for marine fuel, 3 tanks containing aviation fuel and 3 for Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). A 15 floor administrative complex is also under construction as part of the project.
The port will also have facilities to handle port related large scale industries such as handling and bagging of cement and fertilizer in addition to storage of fuel and LP Gas thereby providing opportunity for a third LP Gas operator to open up business that would create competitiveness in the gas market. The oil tank farm will have 14 tanks of which 8 tanks will be for storage of fuel for bunkering facilities for vessels, 3 tanks for storage of aero fuel and the other 3 tanks for storage of LP Gas.
The total project will be completed in 4 stages and the first stage operations will commence in November this year, one year ahead of schedule. During the first stage the port will handle 3 ships a day, and after completion of the total project, the Port will be able to handle 33 ships at a time.
