Before Opatija became a holiday resort, Volosko was the seat of the district, an important trade port and the area's administrative centre. Today Volosko has lost that importance, but not its magical appeal as a picturesque fishing village, an inexhaustible source of inspiration to artists, a haven to those searching for peace in the narrow lanes of the old town, or for a cup of coffee on the waterfront, in the unique atmosphere of the harbour. There is something very special about the view of the sea from Volosko's waterfront: the whole Adriatic seems to open up towards the south from here… When walking through the lanes in the historic part of the town, you will come across the monument commemorating Volosko as the birthplace of Andrija Mohorovičić, the world-famous scientist who first identified the discontinuity that separates the Earth's crust from the mantle. This layer is called the Mohorovičić Discontinuity, or Moho for short. He was born in the house at the very beginning of the Lungomare coastal promenade. Today Volosko is also synonymous with fine gastronomy – from typical taverns offering fish and other traditional dishes of the local area, to superb gourmet restaurants that are listed in the most prestigious international restaurant guides – Volosko offers all of that, and much more. It is only a pleasant three-kilometre stroll along the coastal promenade from where you are now standing. Do not miss the chance to pay this enchanting place a visit!

Al-Murabba Palace offers a direct insight into the life of King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Built just outside old Riyadh's walls, this square, mud-brick complex served as his official residence and the seat of government from 1938. Its design, centred around a large internal courtyard, reflects both traditional Najdi architecture and the need for privacy and security. The palace's 32 rooms, now a museum, display personal effects, historical photographs, and administrative offices, providing a tangible connection to a pivotal era in the nation's history.

The Royal Saudi Air Force Museum, also known as Saqer Aljazirah, chronicles the history of military aviation in the kingdom from the 1920s to the present day. The museum is divided into two distinct sections: a large outdoor park displaying historic aircraft, including a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar that stands as a landmark near the ring road, and a modern indoor hall. Inside, exhibits trace the service's evolution through uniforms, weaponry, and interactive displays. For aviation enthusiasts, it offers a comprehensive look at the technological and strategic development of one of the nation's key military branches.

The literal translation "beautiful island" wasn't given at random. This Mediterranean isle serves as a natural habitat for diverse species of birds and sea life. With its crystal waters, it acts as a bathing spot where you can also enjoy the ocean breeze.
