  • Within the beautiful mosaics and Arabic inscriptions which run around the walls of the octagonal arcade, is a cave beneath the sacred rock that's housed within Islam's oldest monument. . Often referred to as the 'The Well of Souls', it's believed to be where the dead gather as they await for Judgement Day... The voices of the dead mingle with the falling waters of the lower rivers of paradise as they drop into eternity.

  • We're celebrating #WorldFriendshipDay with this cute photo of #elephants who would make the best of friends. Why, you ask? • Elephants never forget a friend! The memory of elephants is legendary and are able to maintain strong friendships even with those they have not seen in years. • These gentle giants console their herd mate by caressing them with their trunks. • Many female Asian elephants are social butterflies, with numerous friends. • Social bonds are vitally important to elephant survival. They often form life-long friendships with other elephants; eating together, bathing together and showing affection by draping their ears and trunks over a friend’s head, trunk or back. 🐘💓🐘 #thoughtfultravel
