"CAIRO: Cairo is where the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World is. No words can describe the majestic view of the three 5,000-year-old Pyramids on the Giza plateau. One of most popular ones is the King's Chamber, considered one of the deepest man-made silences on Earth. Of course, you can't miss the Sphinx. It is both an enormous sight and an overwhelming experience you will never forget. ISTANBUL: Istanbul bridges two continents, marries civilizations that highlights the best of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Perhaps the most popular among tourists is taking the Bosphorus Cruise in Istanbul. They say a trip to the city won't be complete without taking this route. It provides a majestic overview of the city, taking both European and Asian shores. You'll see century-old places and mansions to marvel at. Hagia Sophia is definitely a sight to see, too. It's a splendid church-turned-mosque-turned-museum that's considered one of the world's greatest architectural treasures. SEOUL: Seoul is in fact known for all the shopping, cultural events aside.The Koreans actually refer to window-shopping as 'eye-shopping.' The top places to visit are Insadong, Apgujeong, Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, and Itaewon. DELHI: India's capital is known for its captivating sights and rich history. The city is beautified with mosques, forts, and monuments, and the popular landscaped gardens. There is the bustling Old Delhi, and the well-planned New Delhi, each with their own attractions and both worth the exploration. One of the most popular in Delhi is the Jama Masjid mosque and is indeed a treasure of the Old City, and is the largest mosque in India. It was built in 1650, and in fact, took 13 years to build! SHANGHAI: is the most prosperous city in China. It is in fact also the largest city, teeming with vigor and vitality. Shanghai may not be the typical destination brimming with sight-seeing venues, but it's definitely got a lot to offer in experience. For one, you can choose to cruise along the Huangpu River and stroll along The Bund. MEXICO CITY: Mexico City's historic center includes Coyoacan, which was the original settlement for the conquistadores. Today, it has become an enclave of artists and writers, such as Frida and Diego, and it exudes colonial charm. OSAKA: is considered the anti- capital of Japan, where Tokyo is its capital. It is the central metropolis of the Kansai Region and the largest of the Osaka - Kobe - Kyoto Trio. Umeda is where the main terminal is located.
