Join a full-day adventure from New Orleans which combines a boat ride through Louisiana’s swamp with a tour of a southern plantation. Begin your journey at Oak Alley Plantation, where you’ll stroll down the iconic tree-lined esplanade and gain insight into antebellum life, or explore Destrehan Plantation, once a leading producer of sugar and indigo. Afterwards, venture into the marshy swampland for an exciting boat ride, where guided commentary will enhance your experience as you spot gators, raccoons, snakes, and native birds in their natural habitat.

Just a kilometre south of Chora lies the village of Pera Gialos, once the island's main port. Today it boasts a relatively well-developed tourist infrastructure and a charming beach, ideal for a refreshing swim. Boat tours run from here to nearby sites and other beaches.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is a magnificent white structure and an iconic landmark that beautifully blends architectural influences from around the world, including Moroccan, Italian, Chinese, and Emirati styles. Named after Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE's founding president, the mosque features over 1,000 columns and 80 domes adorned with marble and semi-precious stones. Its vast courtyards and reflective lakes add to its serene beauty, while the four grand minarets at each corner stand as symbols of Islamic tradition. The mosque not only serves as a place of worship but also as a cultural hub that welcomes visitors from all faiths to marvel at its breathtaking artistry and spiritual tranquillity.

Once the Roman forum, this square has always been at the centre of local life. It’s still busy, surrounded by old buildings, cafés, and market stalls selling souvenirs and snacks. A good place to pause and take in the mix of history and noise, especially if you grab a cup of coffee and just watch the flow.
