Grand-Bassam
Grand-Bassam is a coastal city in southeastern Côte d’Ivoire, about 40 kilometres east of Abidjan, where the Ébrié Lagoon meets the Gulf of Guinea. The city extends across lagoon shores and a narrow coastal strip lined by Atlantic beaches and coconut palms.
Hammamet
Hammamet is a coastal town on Tunisia’s Cap Bon peninsula, known for its sandy beaches, whitewashed houses, jasmine gardens, and historic medina beside the Mediterranean. The town combines a long-established fishing and agricultural identity with a major seaside tourism district, including Yasmine Hammamet to the south.
Kristiansand
Located on the southern coast of Norway, Kristiansand is a charming port city and a favorite summer destination for locals and tourists alike. Highlights of this coastal gem include the Christiansholm Fortress, the Kristiansand Zoo, the Kristiansand Cathedral, Gimle Gård, and the Fiskebrygga wharf.
La Palma
La Palma (also San Miguel de La Palma) is the fifth of Spain's Canary Islands. This mountainous volcanic island is a natural wonder of tropical vegetation. Its coast is lined by jagged cliffs and plunging ravines, and its beaches are covered with black sand. Thanks to dry climate and the height of its mountains creating excellent observation conditions, La Palma has become the home of some of the world's largest telescopes, seated on the rocky ridge called El Roque de los Muchachos.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is revealing chapters long unseen by tourists. Al-Ula is home to Hegra, the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the kingdom and hosts to ancient Nabatean tombs carved in sandstone cliffs. Nearby, the mirrored Maraya Concert Hall reflects the desert sky, its design both unexpected and elegant amid the sands. Visitors can wander through narrow canyons, step inside rock-hewn facades, and feel the weight of ancient civilizations still echoing across the dunes.
