The Marine Science Center is a hands-on hub for wildlife conservation and education. Visitors can explore the turtle rehabilitation area and watch as staff care for injured and endangered sea turtles. The seabird rehabilitation sanctuary is a haven for birds recovering from injuries. For a truly interactive experience, don’t miss the stingray touch pool, where you can get up close with these interesting creatures.

A visit to Cancún is not complete without a trip to the famous Mayan ruins. Chichen Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, is an absolute must. Equally stunning is Cobá, currently the only ruin that can still be climbed, offering a breathtaking view over the jungle and Tulúm, with its spectacular backdrop of the clear turquoise water of the ocean.

Avenue Habib Bourguiba, the grand central boulevard of Tunis, channels Parisian elegance with its tree-lined median, sidewalk cafés and historic facades. The thoroughfare, named after Tunisia’s first president, serves as a busy commercial hub and an open-air museum of 20th-century history, flanked by landmarks like the French Embassy and the neo-Byzantine Cathedral of St Vincent de Paul. Dominating the eastern end, the Tunis Clock Tower rises 38 metres above Place du 7 Novembre. Its gilded, lattice-patterned design blends modernist and traditional motifs, glowing amber after dark. Though functionally modest (locals joke about its reliability), the tower’s height and central roundabout position make it an unavoidable landmark. By day, the avenue thrums with shoppers and coffee drinkers; by evening, it becomes a stage for leisurely promenades. For visitors, it’s less about individual sights than the collective energy: the hum of conversation, the scent of orange blossoms, and the weight of history beneath your feet.
