We have got so much to show you: one day won't be enough and even one year, and even ..... but we can try :)

 

India by Noorjehen

In India there are many exciting national parks and wildlife sanctuaries where you can find for example the Indian tiger and the Asiatic elephant. In Indian streets there are bazaars where you can buy lots of nice and cool stuff what you don’t usually find in normal stores. 

The most romantic city in India, is in Rajasthan, Udaipur, there you should go to visit! It is built around the lovely Lake Pichola and famed for its Lake Palace Hotel, and dupped the “Venice of the East”. Name it and Rajasthan has it. In India there are too many lovely beaches where you can take a sunbath and then go to fresh Ocean to swim, nice isn’t it? So you can see in India is everything you need. :)

 

Ghana by Eyi, Msrah. Mensah

Kakum National Park: located 12 miles north of the seaside town of Cape Coast in Ghana's Central Region, Kakum National Park and the adjacent Assin Attandaso Resource Reserve cover approximately 135 square miles of tropical moist forest. The area provides habitat for the globally endangered forest elephants, bongo, yellow-backed duiker and diana monkeys, an estimated 550 butterfly species, 100 mammal, reptile, and amphibian species, and 269 species of birds. A canopy walkway, suspended 100 feet above the ground, offers bird-watchers an unusual opportunity for up-close viewing of many species.

Colombia by Andrea

There’s a lot of sights in Colombia but I only tell what is in Bogota. There is Bogota Botanical Garden. It is the biggest botanical garden located in Bogota, it features greenhouses in which plants from every Colombian region, altitude and climate are exhibited. Other cool things are like the biggest aquatic Amazonian flower and the Palma de cera the Colombian national tree. Bolivar Square is the ‘town square’ of Colombia. There is a lot of important buildings like the Justice Palace, Lievano building seat for the Mayor of  Bogota and Primate Cathedral.then there is the  Capitolio Nacional which is in the Bolivar Square there is a fresco style painting made by Santiago Martinez Delgado. The painting represents Bolivar Santander exiting the Cucuta congress during the creation of the Great Colombia. I’ll only tell now the Golden Museum. There is a lot of beautiful things made of gold.

Morocco by Menna

Morocco is a fascinating country filled with mysterious beauty and extreme contrasts. Morocco is very exciting place and there is many things you can do. Something for everybody.

In Morocco you can explore thousand years' old medinas, where you may feel as if you are walking in medieval times. Or if rather like modern, you can feel the modern rush of cosmopolitan cities, the quiet beauty and solitude of sand dunes in the desert near Merzouga or see snowcapped mountains dotted with Berber villages and beautiful beaches.  And if you are religious or interested in religion, you can visit local mosques.

Three mountain ranges present diverse landscapes and three different ways of life: the Rif, the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas. They all are very nice and different places to visit.

If you would like to see amazing geological landscapes, palm oasis, painted rocks, and the Berber way of life, Tafraoute is one of the best places for that. The oases of the pre-Sahara present timeless image of the Arab world with immense palm groves in the desert. Not to be missed are the amazing mud kasbahs and ksours (palaces and family houses) which you can find near Zagora.

other places you should see:

- outer-space landscapes of the Todra Gorge

- the dramatic Dades Valley, wich is carpeted with wild roses in spring

- non-stop drama in the Djemaa el-Fna

- public square of old Marrakech, where you can see henna-painters, potionsellers, snake-charmers and acrobats by day

- the dazzling, shape-shifting dunes of the Sahara at Merzouga
