Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Paris
Seeing the cathedral in photos is totally different to visiting it. I had once the pleasure of visiting this Gothic Roman Catholic Church. The interior was wow! It showed the marvelous architecture of medieval times. On climbing to the North tower of the Cathedral, I was amazed to see the western facade with some most frightening gargoyles and also the beautiful view of Paris city. My hotel in Paris was too far from the church so unfortunately I did not have much time to explore every bit of the Cathedrale.
Enigmatic Tunisian Tour
I don't know, if I will ever get a chance to do this in whole lifetime. When I was doing my graduation, I had got a chance to visit the historical places in Tunisia. Tunisia, I must say is a land of rich culture and heritage as it had diverse successors. When I went on my historical travel to Tunisia, I got to see the historic trails of such great civilizations in Tunis, Ain Draham, Gafsa, Tatouine and Sousse. It was really and overwhelming experience and the country has immensely attracted me sinve then. It is lovely.
Tunisia holds the enigmatism of old traditions blended beautifully with modernity.

Travel to Tozeur
Tozeur is known all over the world for its dates. When I was in Tozeur last month, I found the desert town very beautiful and charming. This pretty desert town has a 14th century medina and beautiful gardens, which was amazing to see. The Dar Chariet Museum has in its display ancient coins, doors, bridal apparel and some antique weapons. The medina, I found, as if it had all the traditional Tunisian arts and artifacts. The medina of Tozeur was very authentic and so were the items available. I made good purchase on Berber jewelry and ornaments.

Trip to Djerba
I cannot forget my travel to Djerba, Tunisia. It is a wonderful island I must say, a beautiful island in North African Coast, specifically. I can still feel the heat of this island, its calm air with the aroma of flowers and its ring-shaped golden sands. As I had enough time to stay in Djerba, I found its neighboring places like Ajim, El-May, Fatou, Guellala, and Sedouikech to be an interesting place to visit.
