The talk is aimed at a general audience and will illustrate from a 
personal point of view how theSynchrotron-Light for Experimental Science 
and Applications in the Middle East (/SESAME/) project came into being 
starting in 1995. The story will move from the CERN cafeteria through 
the ICTP, SISSA and Sistiana, crossing the Sinai desert to the 
completion of a high quality scientific electron accelerator in Jordan.
