Swakopmund

Tikal National Park
Tikal is one of the most extraordinary ancient cities in Guatemala, hidden deep in the Petén region’s tropical forests. Once called Yax Mutal by its Maya builders, these ruins reveal thousands of years of history in carved stone stelae and towering limestone structures, some of which rise more than 60 meters above the jungle floor. Today, visitors can walk among the Great Plaza and gaze up at the Temple of the Great Jaguar and the Temple of the Masks, reminders of the city’s long legacy.
M'Hamid
M’Hamid El Ghizlane sits deep in southeastern Morocco’s Sahara, where the paved road ends and endless sands begin. Travelers often arrive from Zagora, taking in the wide palm groves fed by ancient irrigation channels that show how people have sustained life here for centuries. At sunrise and sunset, the dunes glow with waves of gold and copper, offering unforgettable views few places on earth can match.
Pemba Island
Pemba Island, located off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean, offers an idyllic escape for travelers seeking pristine natural beauty and cultural depth. Known as the "Green Island" for its lush, tropical landscapes, Pemba is a quieter, less-visited alternative to its famous neighbor Zanzibar. The island is a haven for those interested in diving and snorkeling, as its coral reefs teem with marine life, from colorful fish to graceful sea turtles.
