Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Medina
Umbrellas in Masjid al-Nabawi are a unique sun protection system. Creating a safe shade on the vast area near the mosque has become a vital necessity for a huge number of pilgrims.
Giant umbrellas in the Medina were built in 2010, but still these structures serve as an example of the embodiment of modern technical thought.
The height of each umbrella is 20 meters. These are quite impressive dimensions for hinged structures. The total area covered by film structures is 143 thousand square meters.
Mexico 🇲🇽, The Arch of Time
The Arch of Time "Arco del Tempo" is an arch made of natural stone with a height of 180 meters, one of the largest in the world, located in the canyon of the La Venta River in Quintalapa, Chiapas.
The canyon is 80 kilometers long with walls up to 400 meters high and narrows at times up to ten meters. In it you can find waterfalls on the walls and steep viewing platforms, as well as an impressive Arch of Time.
Peru 🇵🇪, red river Pulchella Pacaymayu
Peru can rightfully be considered a storehouse of natural wonders. What it 's worth to see the famous red river in Cuzco . A raging stream of scarlet color, sweeps down the slope of the mountains. The red color of the river is a seasonal phenomenon. Its intense and unusual shade can be seen only in the season of continuous rains.
Scientists have found out that the red color acquired by the river is a consequence of the flow of mountain waters through a valley saturated with many different minerals.
It is the minerals that provide saturation of the scarlet flow. In particular, we are talking about iron oxide. This element lies in large quantities under the soil in the valleys of Cuzco.

France 🇫🇷
In 2013, an unusual observation deck was built on the top of the Aiguille du Midi. Located right above the precipice, at an altitude of 3,842 m above sea level, it is completely made of glass.
Externally, it resembles a transparent room floating in the air. The observation deck has a rather eloquent name — "Step into the void".
This observation deck, the highest in Europe, consists of five transparent walls, floor and ceiling made of three layers of glass.

UAE🇦🇪, Dubai, Aquaventure Water Park
Aquaventure Water Park is located in the Emirate of Dubai, on the famous Palm Jumeirah island, on the territory of the luxury Atlantis Hotel. It is one of the largest water parks in the world and the largest in the UAE.
The area of the Aquaventure water park, including all attractions and the beach area, is 17 hectares.
On the territory of the water park there are several dozen attractions, many of which are unique. The water park is complemented by its own beach and access to the sea.
In addition, in the water park you can take part in a safari with sharks or feed stingrays and other marine life. There is also a long zipline on the territory, where you can ride along the water park.
China 🇨🇳, Hainan Island, Guan Yin Statue
The statue of Guan Yin, built in 2005 in the southern part of Hainan Island, embodies the image of the many-faced goddess of mercy, revered by representatives of many faiths in China, Korea, Vietnam and Japan.
The height of the monument is exactly 108 m, since this number is sacred for Buddhists: there are exactly so many beads in classical rosaries corresponding to the number of mantras that should be read during meditation.
The construction lasted 6 years and cost 6 billion yuan. The central alley is designed in such a way as to emphasize the impressive scale of the statue.
Qatar🇶🇦, Doha, Mondrian Soho Hotel
Crystal chandeliers, hand—painted murals and a golden elevator - a new project by Dutchman Marcel Wanders is the atmosphere of the "golden age of Hollywood", multiplied by the national flavor of the Middle East and embodied in the image of the new Mondrian Doha hotel in Qatar.
The hotel has 211 rooms, 59 suites, a ballroom with an area of 2000 sq. m. m with its own golden elevator, separate SPA salons for men and women; 12 bars and restaurants offering various cuisines; private romantic places for couples, a heated garden, relaxation rooms with couches equipped with automatic heating, and a Turkish hammam (the first in the city!).
And finally, under a huge glass dome, visitors will find a swimming pool with a bar and a panoramic view of the Western Bay
Jamaica, Dance River Waterfalls
The Dance River Waterfalls are located near the town of Ocho Rios in Jamaica, on the territory of the natural park of the same name. This is one of the most visited attractions of the island and one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the world. The total length of the cascades is 180 m, and the total height is 55 m, and the streams form several small lagoons here.
Waterfalls of this type, like the Dance River, geologists call a "living phenomenon": water from underground sources is rich in calcium and by itself washes the terraces in the riverbed. In addition, Dance River is one of the few limestone waterfalls in the world that plunge directly into the sea. After passing the waterfalls, the river flows into the Caribbean Sea in the western part of a beautiful white sand beach.
United Kingdom 🇬🇧, city of Canterbury
One of the oldest cities in England is Canterbury, which has preserved ancient buildings and historical monuments. There are ruins of the first Christian and Roman buildings, medieval houses and a Norman castle. More than 2.5 million people seek to see the amazing architecture and visit local museums every year.
Quiet and peaceful Canterbury is a typical English town that has changed little in recent centuries. There are very few cars here, so nothing prevents tourists from visiting numerous medieval cathedrals, ancient castles and museums.
South Korea 🇰🇷, Purple Bridge
In South Korea there is an incredibly beautiful small island called Purple . The name is straightforward – it's just that almost everything on the island is purple: a long bridge to it, houses.
And this is not one island, but three – Banvol, Bakji and Purple, combined into one art space. The authorities of Sinan County began to actively develop (and repaint everything around) only in 2019.
Literally every corner of it is ready to Instagram right away. This is what makes the island unique – just paint all the things in a beautiful shade and the flow of tourists is guaranteed to you. Simple and ingenious!
Montenegro 🇲🇪, Djurdjevic Bridge
The Djurdjevic Bridge is not just big, but the largest automobile concrete arch bridge in Europe at the time of its construction, that is, in 1940. The total height is 172 meters, the length is 365 meters.
At that time Montenegro was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and it was a major European power. So the big bridge was both affordable for her and in terms of status. But Yugoslavia broke up into several independent states, and now little Montenegro has such a big bridge.
It is a rare case when the bridge is not named after some historical figure or its creator. Djurdjevic was just a rich peasant, and his farm was the closest to the place where the majestic bridge now flaunts. It has nothing to do with construction.

Turkey 🇹🇷
Gocek is a small town in the southwest of Turkey in the province of Mugla. This is a small idyllic pearl located between Fethiye and Dalaman, which is often called the Turkish Saint-Tropez.
The town seems to be created for boats and yachts, something like a Turkish Venice.
Egypt 🇪🇬, Color Canyon
The colored canyon in Egypt, unlike the pyramids, is a natural creation, whose age is 5 million years. First there was an earthquake, which gave a huge crack in the desert, then water and wind created on the walls of the canyon, what today can be called natural art.
The canyon walls are intertwined with shades from red, bright orange, white to brown and convolutions, in which you can see portraits, sunset and dawn paintings, castles, columns and statues. Some caves are similar to those that can be seen in Petra Jordan, but here no human hand was applied to their creation.
From Sharm el Sheikh, the canyon is 150 kilometers away, quite an accessible tourist attraction.
UAE 🇦🇪, Abu Dhabi
Magnificent evening view of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque
Iran🇮🇷, Shiraz, Nasir al-Mulk Mosque
One of the most visited mosques of Shiraz in Iran is Nasir al-Mulk. Foreigners are attracted here by the enchanting beauty of the interior, which is not found anywhere else in the Muslim world.
Nasir al-Mulk is often called the Pink Mosque. The fact is that in the design of the building there is a pink color. There is quite a lot of it here, and if we take into account the fact that this shade is not at all characteristic of Muslim architecture, then the Nasir al-Mulk mosque appears in the image of a completely unique structure for Iran.
No matter how beautiful the exterior of the Nasir al-Mulk mosque is, its interior decoration still leaves a much deeper impression. The main thing that the visitor pays attention to is the magnificent stained glass windows in wooden frames. They all differ from each other, and different patterns are applied to the glasses of each: floral ornaments and geometric motifs, figures as if folded in a kaleidoscope.
