Douz General Tips
Douz: Desert Sunset Desert Sunset by barryg23
On our first night in Douz we went to the great Dune to try catch the sunset. We had been travelling all day and it was very tempting to go to our hotel and sleep but in the end we decided to make the effort and go to the Dune. It was well worth it. We were approached by locals offering camel rides, dune buggy rides and so on. But that evening all we wanted to do was walk in the sand and see the sunset. The colours on the sand were beautiful...

The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the Community News Archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
