WAIT! Before putting together your air-tight holiday itinerary, have a look through the following places that you probably didn’t know existed. Think, how hard would you be kicking yourself if you’d spent near $2000 on a trip to Morocco and returned only to realize you’d missed its very own Roman ruins? Yep, Roman ruins..in Morocco..

Well it would be too predictable to start with that now wouldn’t it? But this sight for sore eyes is just as breathtaking. Borobudur in Indonesia was a thriving temple serving the Buddhist faith for hundreds of years from approx the 9th century. Don’t let its location between 2 Javanese volcanoes scare you out of an experience worth talking about!

A home Terry Pratchet would be proud of, Göreme, Cappadocia of Turkey holds such distinctive stone formations, the people decided to live in them. Harbouring monasteries dated from near 300 AD, the modern world was soon to cash in on the idyllic location by carving in hotels.

Hallstatt has always been a very secluded and peaceful area. There has never been any mentionable incident here in the whole Roman rule and middle ages. But the one special fact about it is that it has always been the sign of economic value because of the production of salt here. Hallstatt became a market town in 1311. The world’s oldest pipeline that was made 400 years ago by hollowing trees is here. The existence of this pipeline in that area attracts many tourists here and now this small town is a hot favorite holiday destination.

Places to Visit in 2009: Dubai, A Tourist Paradise

by R MAKOctober 10, 2008 Holiday Destinations

Dubai is fast emerging as tourist destination of choice. Especially European tourists are flocking toward the sunny beaches and above average night life is Dubai. When I was compiling a list of places to visit in year 2009, City of Dubai was amongst the top 10 places to see. It is in-fact one of those cities, where skyline changes fast, really fast. If you take a look at this picture taken in 1990… It was nothing more than a barren land where you find nothing but blazing heat and dust. At that time, very few people believed that this wasteland could ever be transformed into one of the most successful cosmopolitan city in the world.
