You never realize how far you have reached until you go back to where it all started. Then places become a kind of a two-way mirror, taking you back to the origins while simultaneously propelling you into newer galaxies. That is the core of a traveller. An ability to burn timelines for each time you have visited a place, you carry back with you bits of the past as you have brought the future to it.
And this is the aim of Check INN TV, Arab World's first High Definition (HD) travel & tourism Satellite TV channel and the biggest Middle East-centric HD library of travel content across the world. Check INN TV is a venture of Check INN Travel Group.
