Not all sightseeing goes as planned - for instance, seeing Taal Volcano on Luzon Island, Philippines, from People’s Park in the Sky, the highest observation point, was a complete disaster! Thankfully, we had a chance to observe the scenery from another spot, Twin Lakes Tagaytay. This is a redeveloped area with a vineyard, hotels, shops, cafés, and scenic views (and they have a Starbucks with the best views in the world, too!).

New article is live at purpurpurpur.co.uk: best sights to see in Lusail, Qatar 😍 I’m sure you’ve heard about Doha, the capital of Qatar, but what about Lusail? It is considered the second largest city of Qatar but feels like a part of Doha. It’s a satellite city with many buildings still in development, and it’s hard to notice where Doha ends and Lusail begins. However, it’s a different entity with its own attractions, don’t miss this fantastic spot!

New guide is live at purpurpurpur.co.uk: Rabat, Morocco! Rabat is located a bit far away from the usual tourist itineraries of Morocco. It’s the modern capital city and the main administrative center of the country for more than a century since the French transferred it here from Fez in the early 20th century. Besides that, Rabat is the cleanest and most organized Moroccan city of all we visited! Rabat was founded in the 12th century by the sultans from the Almohad dynasty, thus it’s the fourth imperial city of Morocco (we visited all of them) alongside Marrakesh, Fez, and Meknes. Although its population is just below 600 thousand, together with Salé and Kénitra on Rabat’s sides, it doubles in size and makes quite a large metropolitan area. It took us 1.5 hours by car to get here from Casablanca, but you can also go by train.

A must-visit modern attraction in Manila, Philippines? 📍DNA Museum @dna.museum DNA stands for the Digital National Art Museum, and it has the same concept as the TeamLab museums in Japan, the art museums in Dubai, and the Art and Science Museum in Singapore. There are 12 immersive rooms with various installations, all dedicated to various natural objects or natural phenomena. Actually, all the graphics and music synchronization are really good, and you will definitely enjoy your visit. I was really surprised to see installations of this level in Manila. At the very end of your visit, you can participate in an immersive drink experience. I tried a similar one in Dubai, and I absolutely had to try this one as well. A bare branch starts blooming once you receive your chosen drink, and once the Sakura petals stop falling, a small fish appears in your cup. Absolutely magical! The DNA Museum is also located within the Ocean Park area. The majority of museums in Manila are closed on Mondays – keep this in mind – but the DNA Museum is an exception.
