Douz Things To Do
Douz: Old Town Old Town by barryg23
Douz is a laid-back, relaxed city where you could easily spend a couple of days taking it easy . Though it's a popular destination with tourists, the Old Town still feels very Tunisian. Many of the tourists stay in the Zone Touristique to the south beyond the oasis but to see the real Douz you should aim to stay in the old town. [read more]

Pulau Libaran: Custard Apple Fruit Custard Apple Fruit by sim1

Thanks Sue; and congratulations Francesca and Lorenzo.



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.
