Algiers is the capital and largest city of Algeria, occupying a series of hills along the western side of a broad Mediterranean bay.

Baucau is Timor-Leste's second-largest city, located on the country's north coast on a plateau above the Ombai Strait.

Ourika Valley lies south of Marrakesh in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, following the Ourika River through a narrow valley of villages, orchards, terraced fields, and steep mountain slopes. The valley is known for its relatively cool climate and access to the Atlas foothills, making it a marked contrast to the dry plains around Marrakesh. Small settlements extend along the river and up the surrounding slopes, where traditional houses are often built from earth and stone.

Margarita Island, known locally as Isla de Margarita, sits just off Venezuela’s northeastern coast in the warm Caribbean Sea. The island's famous beaches span from quiet coves to wide-open shorelines. Playa El Agua stretches for over two miles with swaying palms and lively beachfront restaurants serving fresh snapper, tostones, and cold Polar beer. For those seeking less crowded sands, Playa Zaragoza offers calm waters and a glimpse of everyday coastal life.
