Considered the main attraction in Monastir and the best place to get a glimpse of ancient Tunisia, the Ribat built in 796 has been periodically renovated and reinforced to maintain its integrity and striking appearance. The oldest part of this defensive stronghold is situated around the lookout tower, which was built to locate enemy ships on the horizon. Visitors can climb the old watchtower for some expansive views over the city and visit some of the other more recent structures, such as prayer rooms that were added during the centuries following its inception. Film buffs might be interested to know that the Ribat has been used several times as a set for international movies such as Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' and 'Jesus of Nazareth'. Admittance to the fortress as well as the museum where some ancient artefacts are displayed is fairly inexpensive and well worth it.

Hanauma Bay is a marine nature reserve and one of Oahu’s most iconic snorkeling destinations. Glide through its crystal-clear waters to encounter shimmering schools of silver fish, vibrant parrotfish, and even curious sea turtles that might swim right up to you. As a protected marine-life conservation district, the bay is a haven for biodiversity, but its popularity also poses a challenge. The delicate ecosystem faces ongoing threats from the very visitors who come to admire its beauty, making responsible tourism essential for its preservation.

Located near Sharm’s Old Market, Al Mustafa Mosque is one of Sharm’s most iconic sights. Built in 2008, it’s hard to miss with its two 72-metre minarets and carved stone dome that’s especially striking when it’s lit up at night. It’s an active mosque, so it's best to avoid during prayer times. Around it, you’ll find a more local side of Sharm, with small shops, cafés, and everyday street life.
