Harar, Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Harar boasts 82 Qingzhen Temples and 438 Awaach (shrines for Islamic scholars). These colorful walls are an important symbol of religious and cultural preservation. The city walls, built between the 13th and 16th centuries, and its even older mosques, reflect a deep historical significance.
Amman, Jordan 🇯🇴
Rainbow Street is a well-known area in the capital, home to a variety of Arabic and international restaurants. Residents often spend time here with friends and family, making it one of the best places to get insight into the lifestyle and culture of Jordanians.
Tunisia 🇹🇳
Tunisian architecture reflects Ottoman influences, particularly in coastal cities where this impact is most pronounced. European influences have also been incorporated, especially through the import of construction materials from Italy, resulting in a unique architectural blend.
Istanbul, Türkiye 🇹🇷
One of Istanbul's gems is the neighborhood of Balat. As one of the oldest areas, it features wooden houses over 200 years old. Balat's colorful historic buildings and narrow streets offer a unique experience that feels worlds away from modern Türkiye.

European Lalibela
In the Rasta Mountains of Ethiopia, there is a small town named after Lalibela. Lalibela uses 5,000 workers and it takes 30 years to cut. 11 rock churches.
These churches are also known as African Miracles.
The most famous of these is the church with the cross on the roof. It is located in a deep pit, and looks like a sacred and solemn sacred seal on the vast land, every person who sees the church. I can't help but be silent for a moment before the cross. It is the infective power of faith, and it is also the amazement from the building itself. When I touch the wall of vicissitudes of life, I stare at the face of piety, and the mummy that is buried in the wall hole. At the same time, I feel the real feeling of the small things between the heavens and the earth.
This is known as the new city of Jerusalem. There are countless devout Christians pilgrimage here. They are bowed in white Shah, which makes me think of Jerusalem, Israel, remembering Vanara, India. West, although the belief is not the same, but the scene is very shocking.
[Candles] Lalibela, inciting the soul, inciting ugliness and evil about human nature, or reading about poverty and wealth.
If you travel to Ethiopia, be sure to come to this holy place.
tips: The church is allowed to take pictures, and the video will cost 300 local coins.

Allaba is the first tribe we visited in southern Ethiopia. Adults and children are wearing bright clothes, looking at us with gaze, and they are chanting a word in their mouths. I dont know if its sugar or money, and finally our local The driver prevented us from giving sugar to our children, because it would make these children feel that life is free of charge. Many people do not go to school, so sad and emotional.
We visited their home, which is the impression of the African mud-walled house. The house is also dark during the day. This house is shared by humans and animals, but there is no big smell. A little girl did not participate in the fight for sugar, but leaned on the side and looked at us. She had a pair of pure eyes.

If you want to buy some souvenirs, it is absolutely impossible to miss it. From the woodcarving to the Hamo man's neck, this string of shell decorations has to be sold. The most sold is a copper bracelet, which is a thick string on the arm of the Hamo. I feel that I am wearing a brass bracelet with a little money. The more expensive one is copper, and the poor one is tin. Someone told me that these coppers are all melted out of the bullet casing, and there is no such mineral in the local area.
Esser does not rely on the sea. All shells are said to have been imported from Kenya (smuggling), so they are considered rare. You can even find that most of the transactions here are still in the way of barter. Of course, selling foreigners is sure to collect money, local currency or US dollars can be. The wood carvings of the Hamo people are still very interesting and full of national characteristics, although the hand is rough. Hey, is this place rough? The price is also the price of the sky, and even the young man said, "Come to kiss one, send you." . . . Farewell:)
This market is still quite interesting. The woodcarvings have been bought. The copper bracelets have been bought. Its time to give a play to the bears. Also thrown in.
