Iraq - Ancient wonders abound in this country of holy

Ancient wonders abound in this country of holy and historical sights ranging from Islamic wonders to Babylon itself. No foreign troops remain, which might seem perfect if you want to get to mosques or see palaces, but you risk being kidnapped for a very high price that most governments won’t pay – after all, you were foolish enough to travel there despite no tourist visas being offered. Minefields are a very real danger, and people might just overhear you speaking English and decide you’re a good target. Terrorism or kidnapping will probably be your cause of death.

The statue that overlooks Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Who wouldn’t recognize the statue that overlooks Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? You have beautiful rainforests, the annual Carnival of colors, sounds, and spectacular sights, and even more lovely beaches to enjoy – not to mention the 2016 Olympics. You’re probably not going to get stabbed for bringing your iPhone to the beach in Miami, though. The murder rate in Brazil is four times that of the USA, and muggings, gang violence, and other types of violent crimes are so commonplace that every Brazilian has a good story to tell. You’ll probably die resisting abduction as someone tries to force you to drive to an ATM and take money out.

Angel falls in venezuela

With Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world and a truly stunning work of nature, tropical archipelagos, and flora and fauna ranging from manatees to thousands of species of orchids in the cloud forests and rainforests, what’s not to love? Maybe the fact that it’s a common stop on the drug trafficking route that brings cocaine to America. The capital city, Caracas, has the second-highest homicide rate in the world and most of them aren’t solved, so you’ll probably die mysteriously from exploring the Venezuela-Colombia border.

Somalia - The largest coastline in Africa

The largest coastline in Africa is bound to offer some good views, at the very least. The food is unmatched, and you’ll love the mountain views. Never mind the fact that not a single tourist was recognized in the country between 1990 and 2004! Drug and weapons trafficking, civil war, and cross-border violence all plague this potentially popular destination. One hotel in the capital city of Mogadishu recommends that you hire ten armed guards so you’ll get there alive. You’ll probably die from a terrorist attack or violent street crime.

Haiti - With tropical beaches and stunning ocean views

With tropical beaches and stunning ocean views, a vibrant cultural capital in the south of the country, and a very rich history, Haiti offers a lot of tourist attractions. The hunger riots, a very recent history of government brutality, and a population explosion in Port-au-Prince (the country’s capital) after the recent earthquake make it a somewhat less attractive destination. You might be safe enough if you hire a guide and don’t go through the mountains at night, but on the other hand, you might just die from cholera, violence in the slums and tent cities, or a protest against the government.

Libya is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa

With the stunning city ruins from both Roman days and Greek (Sabratha, Leptis Magna, and Cyrene) being just three of the five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country, the draw of this country mainly relates to tourism. Baths, the theater, a temple to Zeus and more are in incredible condition, mainly because nobody visits them. Why? Well, the armed conflict, militia from several different sides, and public unrest doesn’t help the tourism industry. You’ll probably die from getting caught in the crossfire during a flareup of tribal violence or military conflict in the area.

The Dali Theatre and Museum

 The Dali Theater and Museum is located in the home town of Salvador Dali, Figueres in Catalonia. The museum opened in 1974, it houses the single largest and most diverse collection of Salvador Dali`s works, the heart of which was from the artist's own collection.

In this post there are no photos from the ancient city itself - it's devoted to the climbing the mountain and beautiful views which open from it.

This steep staircase paved with stones many centuries ago leads to the very top of the mountain.

Owners of All Animals - the Masai

 The Masai are a Nilotic ethnic group of semi-nomadic people located in Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are nearly the most well known African ethnic group, due to their distinctive customs and dress. Today the Masai population is about 400.000 people. 

They have many in common with the other Kenyan people - Himba.

For example, they also build huts near the central court.

Masai use sticks and manure for huts construction.

Masai believe that they own all animals in the world. That was the reason for many conflicts with other people.

However there are some distinctions between Masai and Himba. Especially as to clothes. Masai wear more things, and they are of modern materials.

Locals sell souvenirs of their country.

To become a real man every boy has to leave his family at young age, build himself a house and live there for several years. Then he returns home to have here some rights.

Masai are known to be fierce fighters, but now they do not have any enemies and their one occupation is grazing.

Amsterdam: The City Of Bicycles

Amsterdam can be considered as the European capital of bicycles. It seems that here are more bicycles than in China. Everything is well arranged for bicyclists: special roads, traffic lights and parking places. Bicycle bells are heard

Sri Lanka - The World's Richest Country

 Besides the famous tea plantations Sri Lanka boasts its precious stones as well. It's one of the world's leaders in their extraction. The very process of extraction has remained the same since ancient times. It's still manual work. Mines are dug with the help of picks and shovels and are usually not far away from the bank of a river. The rock itself is lifted in baskets and buckets with the help of ropes and then washed in a stream of water or the nearest river.

Then special people start their work trying to find precious stones among other stones. Sometimes they find one, two or even a handful of them, but often

Seattle - Back to the Dirty Past

 Tours along the Seattle underground have been organized since 1965. In this way authorities tried to attract society's attention to the history of the city and save the old buildings located in Pioneer Square (the Seattle's oldest neighborhood) from demolition. So, let's have a walk along its underground and plunge into the history of the 19th century.

The expedition under command of Arthur Denny came to Seattle in November of 1851. He believed the history of this city had begun with his coming but he was wrong. A certain Doc Maynard had discovered and explored this place

The Garden of Awesome Proportions

 The Nongnooch Tropical Garden & Resort is one of the must-see places in Thailand. It's located about 20 km to the south from Pattaya. Among tourists it is also known The Park of Orchids.

It occupies a huge territory of some hectares in the picturesque valley surrounded by the mountains. This tropical garden with beautiful and always green landscape - achitecture compositions is a true masterpiece of the landscape design. The Nongnooch is also a botanic garden, one of the largest in Asia.  

Alberobello - Italian Hobbiton

 If you happened to be in the South of Italy looking for a nice interesting place to visit then Alberobello is surely for you.

It is a small town, very different from those you get used to see.

The Most Beautiful Beacon In The Southeast Asia

 The beacon Kega is located near the Vietnamese town Phan Thiết and was built by a French architect in 1897. It is considered to be the most beautiful beacon in the Southeast Asia.

Creepy But Tasty Thai Food

 Have you been in Thailand? If you have you've probably had a chance to eat creepy and not that creepy Thai food.

World's most luxurious airport lounges

From ‘space pods’ to the swish hangout with a stream running through it, we list the airline waiting rooms so plush you'll positively enjoy the phrase 'flight delayed’

Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse

 Heathrow Airport
Bubble chairs, pink walls and the poolside lounge make you feel groovy, baby, rather than a weary traveller. Check in early to make the most of the 14 metre-long cocktail bar, a Cowshed spa and Bumble and Bumble hair salon. But, if that sounds too exerting, relax in one of the suede day beds in the Sky Lounge, and watch the planes take off with stellar views of the runway.

Dubai Secrets

1. Dubai’s Very Best Hot Chocolate
The hot chocolate at the Avalanche Cafe, Ski Dubai is suprisingly good. It’s one of the rare instances where whipped cream actually enhances the drink. Partly because it looks like snow, partly because it acts as a useful platform for the M&Ms. But for more interesting flavours, try the hot chocolate cafe in Abu Dhabi’s Marina Mall.

2. Historic Dubai
The archaeological site in Jumeirah. It’s probably easier and more informative to visit Dubai museum though. And more comfortable, given the air conditioning.
