The Kaaba houses the mysterious Black Stone, which was revered in Mecca in pre-Islamic times as well. It became a Muslim relic in the time of the Prophet Muhammad and pilgrims to Mecca try to stop and kiss it while circumambulating the Kaaba during the hajj. According to archaeologists, the Kaaba certainly predates Islam. It was rebuilt several times by the tribes ruling Mecca, who used it to house sacred objects, including the Black Stone, and as a shrine to Arabian tribal gods.

The Kaaba is cubed building that has beautiful view ever, unlike almost any other religious structure. It is fifteen meters tall and ten and a half meters on each side; its corners roughly align with the cardinal directions. The door of the Kaaba is now made of solid gold; it was added in 1982. The kiswa—the large cloth that covers the Kaaba—used to be sent from Egypt with the hajj caravan but today is made in Saudi Arabia. Until the advent of modern transportation, all pilgrims undertook the often dangerous hajj, or pilgrimage, to Mecca in a large caravan across the desert, leaving from Damascus, Cairo, and other major cities in Arabia, Yemen, or Iraq. It is an Islamic iconic that had already known over the world. All Muslims have to come here to fulfill their duty to their God. Since it is considered as “House of God” for Muslim and it is located in Mecca, Al-Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, it is the biggest center of Islam. When Muslim salat, they are expected to face the Kaaba. It is called as Qibla that decides the direction of Muslim while they were praying. Then you have to know that this place is the most sacred site in Islam.

Five pillars of Islam are Muslim must to do “hajj” in the Kaaba. So, that’s why this place looks like never sleep. The religion’s metropolitan place ever, every year there are lots of Muslims that came to visit The Kaaba. They come to do Hajj or Umrah. This building also called by any names such as Bait, Bait UL Haram, Bait Ullah, Bait al-Ateeq, Awal UL Bait, and the Kaaba. The name “Bait” has meant “The Holy House” while “Kaaba” means square or cube. If you visit this place, you will see lots of people doing “Tawaf”. Tawaf is one of activity while you are doing “hajj” or “Umrah”.

The Kaaba has its own beautiful side, in the night this place will be great and make people who visit this place become calm and relax. Another interesting point about this building, the last renovation was held in 1996. It means that the building is more secure, stable than before, since there is no reconstruction again until this year.


Although it is the religion site of Islam, this place is not only for prayer. There are many couples who have already married; they decided to start their new life from this place. If you go to Mecca, don’t forget to visit The Kaaba and enjoy the beautiful view ever. Besides, you can visit Mount Arafat and Masjid al-Haram. Those place save lots of Islamic history at all.
In short, The Kaaba is one of historical evidence of Muhammad era.. Moreover, you can enjoy the beautiful view and calm yourself in this holy place.

People usually think of France when they are thinking of great places for a honeymoon. The country is full of beautiful places that make a great setting for a romantic vacation. There is the city of Paris with its amazing architecture and cobbled streets and there are miles of vineyards and there are also incredible beaches that would take your breath away. One such remarkable place in France is Etretat.

Located in northwestern France, Etretat is situated in the region surrounding the coast of the Pays de Caux. What makes Etretat really famous as a good place to visit are the cliffs located along the coast. The French town of Etretat contains three famous arches, out of which two are seen from the town namely Porte d’Aval, and the Porte d’Amont. The third one and the biggest of the all, Manneporte is not visible from the town in spite of its magnanimous stature. Apart from the three arches which have been mentioned, there is also the “needle”, which is as famous as the arches themselves. Standing alone in the middle of the sea, this cliff has its name as it resembles a sharp needle. There are a lot of tourist resorts around the cliffs and these resorts attract tourists and artists from around the world to take a look at the beautiful high cliffs. Hiking is one of the famous tourist activities in the town and the GR 21 hiking path passes through the town of Etretat. The view of the church from the seashore is an absolute delight to the human eyes.


Etretat has a small town with the population of only a few thousands. The picturesque town is a great place to stay if you are looking for a small private town that you can spend your romantic getaway. Etretat is a striking location with its breathtaking views, dangerous cliffs and quaint town. If you are tired of going to busy tourist locations on all your vacations and want to try something that is a little more private then you should definitely give Etretat a chance. It is a matter of fact that Etretat is a place where numerous artists and writers stayed and portrayed their paintings and writings. One of the notable figure is Victor Hugo, who stayed in Etretat and also wrote the world famous “Les Miserables”. The pebble studded beach is a star attraction in the town of Etretat. The slowness of the tides and the beautiful seaside restaurants makes this place an impeccable attraction for young couples who go on tour. The peaceful beach induces the romantic mood and induces serenity to the body. People who are in search for peace of mind find Etretat an interesting place due to its calmness. With a minimum population density, it is hard to find a crowded place in the town, which is just what people in search of peace require. With globalization, there has been an adverse impact in the life of people and so people have started to go in search for places which can calm down their nerves.

The name Amazon is said to arise from a war Francisco de Orellana fought with the Tapuyas and other tribes. The women of the tribe fought alongside the men, as was their custom. The Amazon rainforest is a very unique place in the world and if you are going to travel there you can use some tips that will make your experience much better.

First you need to pack for the Amazon. If you are going to five star forest hotel (there are some) you don’t need to be too concerned about that, but if you are going on an adventure-like trip with a backpack or something similar , then you need to think carefully about what are you going to take there. As always in this kind of trip you don’t want to have too much weight to carry.

If you want to really know the region you can hire local boats with a guide, cook and all the staff you need to make whatever expedition you like for many days. You can go deep into the forest with those boats to see and hear all the abundant wildlife. To do this you will probably need a specialized guide. You can find guides like that in specific travel agencies in or outside Brazil, as they can provide you with all the information you need to enjoy your trip like not many people have done.

You can also travel by yourself or in small groups and have a less planned trip. Some people have their lives so planned that this is exactly what they don’t want in their vacations. These are good for people with less money also, as it’s very cheap to travel in the region if you are not going through a travel agency package. Of course its more risky and you need to be prepared for a couple of mistakes that will cost time and maybe some food adaptation problems, usual stuff in an adventurous trip.

Any way you choose to tour the Amazon rainforest you will like and have a very pleasant and astonishing trip. You will take pictures that you will keep for the rest of your life and make all your friends speechless. It’s really an unforgivable and unique place in the world and every person should have the opportunity to experience it.

If you are not convinced yet, there is still one more reason you be aware. Tourism in the Amazon rainforest is one of the ways to preserve its biological and ethnic diversity. What tourism does is to provide the local populations an alternative for making their living honestly. If there are no alternatives the local population has an extremely difficult decision to make, should they start to work in illegal activities or bear the lack of resources to sustain their family.

Big advice! Don’t take ANY seed, plant or animal from the forest. Illegal biological trade in the Amazon rainforest is a big issue and the police are aware of many foreigners that go to the forest to steal things from it. Every week the police arrest a foreigner trying to go out of Brazil with something illegal, better to avoid this. Take pictures instead.

You need to take a “Yellow Fever” shot at least 10 days before you go to the Amazon rainforest; it’s a small needle and doesn’t hurt.

The best time to visit: If you really wish to enjoy rains and beautiful lush green sceneries, there is no other period which is better than December to May, especially if you are planning to visit Peru. Most of the people prefer visiting Amazon Rain forest during rains, specifically to enjoy the pleasant climate of the location.
