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.
India 🇮🇳
Juicy views of the "tea" capital of the Indian state of Kerala.

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.
Japan 🇯🇵, Osaka city
Unique atmosphere of a Japanese city at night
UAE 🇦🇪, Dubai, ski resort Ski-Dubai
Ski Dubai is an indoor ski resort in the UAE. In the city of Dubai, in the huge Mall of the Emirates, you can visit a real winter fairy tale.
Both in winter and in summer, the territory of the complex is more than 22,000 sq. m. m is covered with real snow, where fir trees grow and penguins walk. Just imagine, in the middle of the sands and desert, you can ski, walk in the snow park and chat with penguins.
In the complex, the average temperature ranges from -1 to -5 °C, when it reaches +50 °C outside. The thickness of the snow reaches 70 cm .
Ski Dubai started its work in November 2005. In recent years, it has gained particular popularity. The capacity of the complex is 1.5 thousand people, its height is equal to a 25-storey building and it is definitely considered a full-fledged ski resort.
Tanzania, Zanzibar Island

Denmark 🇩🇰, Faroe Islands, village Gjógv
The village of Gjógv is located at the northeastern end of the island of Eysturoy, in the Faroe Islands, about 63 km north of the road leading to the capital Torshavn. The name of the village comes from a 200-meter gorge that descends directly into the sea. The village was mentioned for the first time in 1584, although it apparently existed long before that. Its economy was based on fishing and the sale of dried and salted fish.
The Faroe Islands are an ideal place for experienced travelers who want to take a break from the noisy resorts and the hustle and bustle of the city. The archipelago is located in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, between the Scottish Islands and Iceland, and attracts even the most sophisticated travelers with its beauty. The nature here is unique and impressive at first sight: gorges, lakes, numerous waterfalls, fjords and graceful rocks create a unique atmosphere.
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.
Thailand 🇹🇭
The incomparable beauty of the Thai islands
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.
