Al-Faisaliya Tower is a landmark of modern Riyadh, recognised as the kingdom's first skyscraper. Its distinctive pyramid-like form, crowned with a glass globe, punctuates the Olaya district skyline. The primary draw is the observation deck, which provides a sweeping 360-degree panorama of the city's expansive urban grid. The complex at its base houses a refined shopping mall, known for its selection of luxury brands and calm, spacious corridors. While the city now has taller structures, the tower remains a significant architectural pioneer, offering a classic perspective on Riyadh's dramatic growth.

The Blue Lagoon is without a doubt the most well-known geothermal spa in Iceland. The signature milky-blue water makes a stark contrast to the surrounding black lava fields and creeping grey moss. The spa is located in a lava field near Grindavík and is supplied by water used in the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power plant. The water temperature stays at 39°C year-round, snowfall or sunshine. Most visitors make the spa their first or last stop, since it's conveniently located only 15 minutes from the Keflavík International Airport (and around 30 minutes from the capital city). If you are buying a tour, it makes most sense to combine the spa visit with the Golden Circle day trip.

Phantasea Tropical Botanical Garden is a superb place to hide from the intense heat of the Caribbean sun. Stop here on your way to Crown Mountain and explore the work of Patsy, the garden's owner. She has worked tirelessly for over 20 years to assemble a vast collection of orchids, bromeliads, palms, succulents and air plants. Kids will surely love the petting zoo with a peacock and parrot, while "plant parents" can buy some gorgeous flowering plants to bring home.
