Osa Peninsula
The Osa Peninsula extends into the Pacific Ocean from southern Costa Rica's Puntarenas Province, forming a remote region of rainforest, rivers, beaches, mangroves, and coastal waters. Much of the peninsula remains forested, with small communities such as Puerto Jiménez, Drake Bay, and Carate providing access to the surrounding landscape.
Tamnougalt
Tamnougalt is a fortified village in Morocco’s Drâa Valley, near the town of Agdz, where a large palm oasis stretches along the Drâa River. The settlement is centered on a historic ksar built from rammed earth, with towers, defensive walls, and narrow covered passages. Its position within the Mezguita oasis made it an important local center for trade and administration.
Potsdam
Potsdam, the capital of Germany’s Brandenburg state, lies just southwest of Berlin and is best known for its grand palaces, landscaped gardens, and role as a seat of Prussian royalty.
Muscat
Travelers on the Arabian Sea often find themselves in Muscat, on the Gulf of Oman. This port capital is situated between ocean and mountains, and boasts lovely beaches, great diving sites (watch for turtles!), 16th-century forts, and the impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which can hold 20,000 people.
