Ain Dubai, the world's largest and tallest observation wheel, stands at a towering 250 metres on Bluewaters Island, offering a 38-minute rotation in air-conditioned cabins, with 360-degree views of Dubai's skyline, including landmarks like the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and the Arabian Gulf.

A stone's throw away from Ain Diab beach and shaded by palm trees, Parc Sindibad offers an exciting blend of entertainment. Named after the legendary adventurer Sinbad, this theme park boasts a variety of rides and seasonal attractions. It even features a zoo, where you can encounter animals native to Africa and Asia. It's an excellent destination, particularly if you're visiting Casablanca with children.

Casablanca's Old Medina, also known as Old Town or Ancienne Medina, is a maze-like quarter teeming with life and marked by buildings that harken back to the period before French rule. Vendors with carts offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, and spices, while quaint antique shops and artisanal leather workshops line the constricted passageways. Amid the lively bargaining, outdoor cafés offer spaces for respite, serving both coffee and refreshing mint tea. Here, locals go about their daily routines while visitors can shop for an array of traditional goods.

Havana's waterfront boulevard – Malecón – is its most poetic stretch, a social hang out hub evocative of a welcoming Cuban living room (hence it being known to some as 'the world's longest sofa'). Waves crashing against Malecón's seawall can make quite the splash, at times virtually flooding parts of the boulevard, which hardly deters daily strollers from taking in its sublime sunset charm.
