At Batu Caves you can climb up 272 steps, 61 metres, and be amazed by the Hindu’s Lord Murugan shrines built in natural limestone. Watch out for the monkeys who unscrupulously steal any loose items or visible food.

Soaring 828 metres above Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is currently the world’s tallest building. It’s a mix of art, engineering, and heritage, with office space, private residences, and a luxury hotel inside. Visitors head to the observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors for sweeping city views, and you’ll also find over a thousand specially commissioned artworks scattered throughout the tower. Even from the ground, the sheer scale and design of the building make it impossible to ignore.

Step into the fascinating world of cacti at Jardín de Cactus in Lanzarote, where more than a thousand different types of succulents from various desert and arid regions are on display. Situated in the village of Guatiza, the garden was the last project of renowned artist César Manrique, and his works can be seen throughout the garden. The garden is designed as a large amphitheatre, with terraced arrangements of plants that provide a stunning visual experience. A restored windmill, once used for producing gofio (a sort of Canarian flour), stands at the highest point, further adding to the charm of the place.
