Egypt 🇪🇬, Old Cairo
The oldest part of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, is limited to several blocks built over Roman—era fortifications and Byzantine-era shopping plazas. The population here is predominantly Christian (Copts), and the sights are associated with evangelical events.
This part of the city is loved by tourists, unlike the rest of the quarters, where not only they do not take excursions, but they also do not recommend Europeans to visit. The carefully preserved atmosphere of Old Cairo allows anyone to plunge into the days when Egypt was the Babylon of the Byzantine Empire and the citadel of Christianity in North Africa.
Greece 🇬🇷, Mykonos Island
This is really a room with a sea view!

Beautiful underwater shooting in Kolsai Lake
Belgium 🇧🇪, bike path Fietsen Door Het Water
Fietsen Door Het Water literally means "cycling on water". This bike route runs through the pond De Vigers, along the trench below the water level.
This produces a very curious feeling, because the cyclist's eyes are at the same level with the surface of the water. And if there are waterfowl on the water, the impressions become even more strange. The three-meter-wide bike path was opened in 2016. If you don't have your own bike, you can rent one for 10 €.
China 🇨🇳, Pingyao City
Pingyao is a city in China with preserved medieval buildings and the remaining intact city wall, the capital of Shanxi Province. The location of the city on the banks of the Yellow River allowed it to become one of the most important shopping centers in the region. Pingyao is a wonderful city, it's worth visiting to get an idea of what traditional Chinese cities looked like in the past.
If you come to Pingyao from the north, you will see from the best side the jagged city wall 6.4 km long and 10 m high, the original building of 1370, - at that time, residents were afraid of Mongol raids, just expelled from China.

Brazil 🇧🇷, Lencois-Maranensis
Right on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean is the most beautiful Brazilian National Park Lençóis Maranhenses (translated from Portuguese Lençóis Maranhenses - "sheets of Maranhenses"). Without a doubt, it should be attributed to the most mysterious places on our planet. The territory is occupied by snow-white sand dunes up to 40 meters high, between which small lakes with turquoise water can be seen here and there.
But Lens is not a desert at all, because it rains regularly here. Rainwater accumulates between the embankments, gradually becoming blue, green and turquoise and forming lagoons, in which, by the way, you can even swim.

Mexico 🇲🇽, Isla Mujeres (Island of Women)
Isla Mujeres is a popular resort island in Mexico. You can get here quickly by ferry from Cancun; but the atmosphere here is like on another planet. Francisco Hernandez de Cordova, the first European to visit Yucatan, gave the island a name meaning "Island of Women" (from Spanish mujer — woman) — he went ashore in 1517 and found clay statues of half-dressed women on the island.
Today tourists have come here more often, and yet the resort on the island of Mujeres has largely preserved the unique atmosphere of a sleepy fishing village, and prices here are lower than in Cancun. The island is only 8 km long and 2 km wide, but exotic animals are found here. The climate of the island is tropical, the sea is turquoise—blue and warm all year round.
Serbia 🇷🇸, Kopaonik ski resort

Newgrange (Newgrange) (https://planetfor.me/place/112723 ) - is amazing, because until today it is unclear with what means it was built, as well as who the ancient stargazers were, who were amazingly able to determine the course of the sun.
The Newgrange, about 13 meters high, looks fascinating inside.
The tunnel is designed so that on the day of the winter equinox, the rising sun fully illuminates it.

Italy 🇮🇹, the "falling" Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa has been falling for eight centuries. Because of this, the Italians themselves call it a "protracted miracle". The deviation increases by one millimeter every year. And the whole building deviated from the axis by more than five meters, which is not so little. But, no matter what, the Campanella survived even an earthquake and is open to the public today.

Germany 🇩🇪, Silvenstein reservoir
The huge Silvenstein reservoir (Sylvensteinsee) was artificially created near the border with Austria in the period from 1954 to 1959. It was located in the delta of the Izar River and was originally intended to provide electricity to local residents. For this purpose, a dam with a height of 44 meters and a dam with a length of about 180 meters was created here.
The reservoir lies in the middle of high mountains and is surrounded by dense forest, so the views here are very picturesque. It is especially good to observe the surrounding beauty while driving over the bridge connecting the two shores of the lake.
