The Kuwait Towers are a defining national symbol, their distinctive blue-green sequined spheres rising prominently on the city's coastline. The main tower features a viewing sphere 120 metres above the ground, providing a 360-degree panorama of Kuwait City and the Persian Gulf. The complex also houses a revolving restaurant and a café. A visit offers both a striking architectural sight and an unparalleled perspective of the city, with the entry fee to the viewing deck waived for restaurant guests.

At one time or another, you will pass through Bab Bou Jeloud, The Blue Gates, and it is highly recommended to get a guide that shows you around while explaining the gates' history. In this area, you will also find many restaurants to go to for lunch, or for just grabbing a cooling drink.

At the top of Talaa Seghira, in Old Fès, this conveniently located hammam is one of the tourists' favourite Arabic spas throughout Medina as foreigners will also feel comfortable. Please note that men and women are allowed in at different times so do check upon your arrival.

County Kildare is home to the windswept Bog of Allen, and to a leisurely section of the restored Royal Canal. There’s a masterpiece of an 8th-century High Cross in Moone. Maynooth Castle anchors the leafy university town of the same name. Kildare is also home to one of Ireland’s great driving routes. Following the course of the Gordon Bennett Cup, which saw racing daredevils whizz through Kildare, Carlow and Laois in 1903, the 104-mile circuit recalls a time when Ireland’s speed limit was just 12mph. The county is a marvellous mix of old and new, of natural landscapes and precisely manicured gardens, of horseracing competitions and stylish fashion events.
