The Dome of the Rock, with its distinctive golden dome, is and Islamic shrine located in Jerusalem’s old city, atop the Temple Mount and was finished construction in 691 AD.

Why Oman should be on your travel wish list
It’s hard not to get lost in the noise that hums around a certain region. In the Arabian Gulf, that noise often exudes from certain cosmopolitan cities with attractions such building the world’s tallest buildings, malls with indoor ski slopes, and where architecture takes on forms that only the most creative can imagine.
Oman – Beauty has an address
But if you look further south, you’ll find a country on the peninsula that rejects the over the top construction and has its soul firmly planted in tradition. Oman is a place that while being very much in the present, feels almost lost in time in certain aspects. It’s a fairy tale of a far-away land that retains its charms and culture.
An Introduction to Australia's Outback
Australia's outback is a curious place. Any length of a walk along the fiery red earth will stain your toes a copper orange. People will warn you that beyond your line of sight are fearsome creatures such as spiders, snakes, dingoes, and crocodiles hiding in the bushes in some remote landscape. In my few weeks of exploring, no fearsome creatures were met, unless you count the kangaroos and wallabies with an affinity for darting in front of cars.

In a world where countries often come with increasingly similar attributes to its neighbours, it’s always refreshing to find a place a little quirky. To me, that is what New Zealand is. More sheep than people reside here, a fact many seem proud to tell you. It is a place with endless views, cheerful locals, and a culture that embraces its Maori influences.
