Being an avid
traveler I have been all over the world, but I have a few favorites
that need a special mention!
THE WONDERS OF
CAIRO
Cairo, city of a
thousand Minarets is a mesmerizing sight for the sore eyes. Set on
river Nile the sprawling capital has Tahrir Square and the Egyptian
Museum in its heart. I feel this city is the best place to explore
Egyptian culture and history. The mysterious city boasts of Giza
which is the site of magnificent pyramids and mysterious mummies.

MAJESTIC MORROCO
City of Morroco
is an absolute pleasure for a travel enthusiast. For Travelers like
me who like an off-beat destination, the valley of Ameln in Morroco
is an awesome place to explore! Situated in the Tiznit Province of
Souss Massa Region, the spectacular Jebel-el-Kest range forms the
backdrop of the valley. Lining the northern bank of the valley it
forms the backdrop of the Anti-Atlas Mountains to the north of
Tafraout. The valley has 26 villages huddled together at the slopes
of Jebel-el-Kest.

AWESOME OTTAWA
Canada’s
Southeastern Capital of Ottawa sits in Ontario at the border of
Quebec. Synonymous with Victorian architecture the city is situated
on the river Ottawa. The spectacular Parliament Hill stands at the
centre of the city along with famous museums like the glass and
granite National Gallery with noted collections of famous Canadian
and indigenous artists.

BEAUTIFUL BELFAST
The beautiful
city of Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland. The brilliant
city is the birthplace of Titanic and is also known for its political
murals documenting the troubles of Twentieth century.

The city’s
renovated dockyard has the Titanic Quarter which houses the Titanic
Belfast Museum. The museum brings to the fore a nostalgic sad memory
of the grand ship that was believed to be unsinkable. With its
aluminum clad edifices it reminds of the ship’s hull, its builder
Harland and Wolf’s drawing offices and the ships slipways that now
host open-air concerts.

SCENIC SANTORINI
Santorini is one of the most scenic cities of
Greece. The city is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea,
was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century B.C.E.,
forever shaping its rugged landscape and villages. The whitewashed,
cubist houses of its two main towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs
above an underwater crater. They overlook the clear Aegean Sea and
beaches made up of black, white and red lava pebbles.
