Final Stop, Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt would be one of my top destinations because my grandpa has always told me about how beautiful of a city it is.  Right on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, so that means beaches!  Other than that the architecture alone is gorgeous and mesmerizing.  For me,  Egyptian architecture is by far the most gorgeous.

Gansbaai, South Africa

What would be a more exciting vacation than seeing apex predators at there finest.  Seeing a Great White shark ascend from the water has always been a dream because of documentaries during Shark Week on the Discovery channel.  Other than sharks though Gansbaai is also an extremely gorgeous location. 

In the land of milk and honey


JerusalemJerusalem is the home to three of the largest religions in the world: Christians, Jews, and Muslims.  This city would be an amazing trip to take because of all the culture combined into one place.  Not only would the culture be an amazing experience but just walking around a city with so much history would be overwhelming.

Up Up and Away


This building in Dubai doesn't even look real!  It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.  But it would be a neat thing to see.  Really anything in Dubai would be awesome to see, but especially the tallest building in the world!

A industrial wonder of the world!

Right in between two states, Arizona and Nevada, lies the Hoover Dam.  This particular place is a truly spectacular establishment.  The sheer size of the dam overwhelms you, and somewhat swallows you in its vast expanse.  I felt like an ant compared to even the smallest parts of the dam when I visited it back in 2008.  If anyone is ever in Arizona or Nevada, I would highly recommend you visit here.  This place is a great vacation and day trip.  I will never forget looking down the dam and being taken aback by the sheer height and density of the dam.  It is truly a wonderful creation, and is definitely an industrial wonder of the world.

Cairo, Egypt

 
The beautiful city of Cairo.  Out of all the places in the world that I would want to visit it would have to be Cairo, Egypt.  The main reason I chose Cairo of all places is due to the fact that my grandpa was born there.  I also still have a significant amount of family there that I have never met.  Aside from that it would be a thrill to see the pyramids and the sphinx.  Of course right now, it would be rather difficult being that there is a civil war taking place.  I picked this image over all the ones of the majestic skyline, or the pyramids and sphinx because it shows that the city still has a glimpse of hope.  And that the people of Cairo still love their country.
