This is not your typical zoo concept where animals are stuck behind bars posing for visitors. Here, you go to meet animals in the wild or semi-wild on a boat. You learn a decent amount about the region's ecosystem.

As one of the few (the only?) Moroccan mosques open to tourists outside of prayer times, I recommend you take advantage of this opportunity to visit. Built right on the seafront, with a spacious plaza and a very tall minaret, the structure is impressive from the outside. Inside, the decorations with shiny marble floors, carved wood on the vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, and the architecture made of arches and colonnades are superb. The prayer hall, with its many pillars lined up in a row, is a must-see.

Easy to use site that offers great prices on hotels. Pretty complete selection for Spain and Latin America. One small thing that bothered me a bit, the prices shown change pretty often from one day to the next, which is confusing when you are planning your vacation...

Great space that mixes rides, small thrill attractions, and animals (farm animals but also exotic birds). To top it all off, you are right at the gates of Paris in the Bois de Boulogne, accessible from the Sablon metro station (line 1).

The vertical architecture is very impressive, but I didn't feel like there was much to do or see. There are a few excursions for tourists, like in the desert for example, but walking around the streets on your own, it's complicated to find something authentic and open. I get the feeling that the "real" Qatar is hidden and doesn't quite dare to show itself.

If you think this private collection from the patron Calouste Gulbenkian will be a quick visit, you are wrong! You will find exhibits covering a very wide range of eras and civilizations, from the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans of antiquity to the Middle East, the West, and paintings by the great Dutch or French masters. It feels like you are in a major national museum and not a private foundation. There is also a contemporary art section and a very beautiful garden. The cafeteria is very pleasant and offers honest prices. Beautiful place for art lovers.

I was interested in this place because I was looking for a contemporary art museum. I have very fond memories of this visit. The works and creations are displayed and explained really well, which is sometimes necessary to understand contemporary art. The architecture of the museum and the design of the garden are also worth the trip.
