Jerusalem Old City

Al Aqsa mosque at Jerusalem -one of the most fought over cities in human histories

 Being one of the most fought over cities in human history, the Old City of Jerusalem is divided into four neighborhoods based on the maximum number of people that live in each one. But within each neighborhood, reside families of different religions and none of the quarters are exactly equal in size. Each one of them also has its unique experiences, smells and sights to offer. These four quarters (neighborhoods) are Christian, Armenian, Jewish and Muslim (Muslim quarter being the largest and Armenian Quarter being the smallest). The history of Jerusalem is as old as 3,000 years and a wall that was built sometime in the 16th century surrounds the Old City.

Jerusalem is easily the most important city in Israel in terms of tourism and it’s a place where you’d find a perfect blend of both tourism and rich heritage. Moreover, apart from the having a rich heritage and culture, the city provides plenty of entertainment. There are seven open gates to Jerusalem and one of them stays shut for the arrival of the Messiah. The Damascus Gate leads people directly to the heart of the Old City where there’s much to eat and experience.

The Old City of Jerusalem has a magical charm about it that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world.

Galápagos Islands,Equador

Galápagos Islands - The first world heritage site chosen by UNESCO

Galápagos Islands in Ecuador provide one with an extraordinary demonstration of what the world would be like if wild animals and humans lived together in harmony. That being said, these astonishing islands have also facilitated the development of animal life that is rare.

The islands became famous after Charles Darwin’s visit that ended up inspiring his revolutionary theories. Galápagos Islands consist of about 120 islands and have been formed by seismic and volcanic activity, which also cater to another visual attraction provided for by this site. Since, there is so much to see at the islands, especially if there is a limited amount of time for the vacation, it becomes necessary to plan the stay in advance. There are itineraries available online that cover all major islands and make sure that the tourists make the most of the opportunity to experience this exotic place.

Early human activity had damaged wild life at the islands and there are some species (e.g, Galápagos tortoises) that are still considered endangered due to those damaging activities. For these reasons, measures to protect and conserve have been taken by the government and the islands’ natural resources have now been secured.

Seeing the rare tortoises while staying at the islands is a must. It would also be an amazing experience to do bird spotting at Isla Daphne. Since Charles Darwin played a big role in the popularity of Galápagos Islands, it becomes almost necessary to visit the Charles Darwin Research Station at Isla Santa Cruz, which is also one of the largest islands at Galápagos.
