Douz
Douz is a town in southern Tunisia on the edge of the Sahara, where date-palm oases meet the dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental. The town is often regarded as a gateway to the sandy desert, with dunes beginning close to the built-up area and extending toward the wider Sahara. Palm groves provide a strong contrast to the surrounding dry landscape, while nearby Chott el-Jerid forms a vast salt depression with bright mineral surfaces and mirages.
Béjaïa
Béjaïa is a Mediterranean port city on Algeria’s Kabylie coast, set between the sea and the wooded slopes of the Gouraya massif. Its setting brings together a working harbour, mountain terrain, coastal cliffs, and beaches within a compact area. The city is one of Algeria’s important historic centres and has long been connected to maritime trade and scholarship.
Devonport Tasmania
If you are travelling to Tasmania on the Spirit of Tasmania, then Devonport will be your first port of call. On arriving at Tasmania the first thing you will see, will probably be the Mersey Bluff and the Bluff Lighthouse. Along with passenger ferries, the port is still active with the exportation of products from north Tasmania.
Arkansas
Arkansas is often called “The Natural State,” and for good reason as it’s home to more than 600,000 acres of lakes and 9,700 miles of rivers and streams. From the Ozark Mountains in the north to the Delta plains in the east, the state’s landscapes offer a wide range of backdrops for hiking, paddling, or simply taking in the view.
Beirut
Beirut traces its roots back over 5,000 years. Once called Berytus during the Roman era, it grew into a key port of the Mediterranean. Today’s visitors can follow the Beirut Heritage Trail, a 2.5 km walking route marked with bronze medallions, that links archaeological sites, historic courtyards, and restored Ottoman buildings. The path unveils layers of the city's past one block at a time.
