The International Museum of the Prophet's Biography offers a detailed, technology-driven exploration of the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Located within the Clock Tower complex in Mecca, it uses immersive multimedia exhibits, 3D models and cinematic presentations to convey its narrative. The approach is modern and educational, focusing on accessibility for an international audience with multi-language support. Rather than displaying historical artefacts, the museum prioritises storytelling and moral instruction, providing a structured, informative complement to the spiritual experience of visiting the holy city.

Enclosed within a protective wall reaching up to 20 metres in width, the Ciudad Amurallada (or Walled City) is Cartagena's old beating heart. Packed with well-preserved colonial buildings, it's a pleasure to stroll through; its streets of colourful low-rise merchant homes marked by iconic balconies are now mostly walked by either tourists or students who attend classes at the University of Cartagena during the day and linger for meals and nightlife after school is out. Cafes in Plaza Aduana and Plaza Santo Domingo teem with patrons, forging an incredibly jovial atmosphere; the districts of San Diego and El Centro are two not to be missed. There is plenty of food and shopping to be had, with a mixed bag of world-class restaurants and street food hawkers and the incredibly photogenic palenqueras — women dressed in vibrantly coloured clothing selling fruit in the streets — images of whom have become emblematic of Colombia as a travel destination.

Cemetery Al-Mu'alla, also known as Jannat al-Mu'alla, is a historic burial ground in Mecca, located north of the Grand Mosque. It is revered as the final resting place of several key figures from early Islam, including the Prophet Muhammad's first wife, Khadija, his grandfather, and other relatives. Access to the cemetery is restricted; only men may enter, and even for them, visits are typically limited to funeral services to prevent practices resembling grave veneration. Women can view the site only from the road overlooking its perimeter.

Although the architectural style implicates the Town Hall in some more majestic time, this monument was built only around 100 years ago, in 1913. Housing the city's government as well as 3D town models which can be visited in the opulent main hall, the unique curving lift to the town hall's dome is the main attraction here: at a 17-degree angle, it covers the 43 metres up to the gallery at the top of the dome which offers a marvellous view of the whole city.
