What a wonderful
here are so many fantastic places to visit on this beautiful planet. It would be
difficult to choose a top 100, so getting it down to eight is practically impossible. So, just to give you fair
warning, we will definitely be featuring more articles on top eight places to visit. Our strategy is to break it up into categories, such as top eight cities you have to see, or top eight places you have to see because they are just plain weird. But to
start off, we’re keeping it pretty classic – Wonders of the World. We know that there are only seven official wonders, but we’ve added an honorary one that we think is worthy. Do you know which one it is (without using Google)?

THE TAJ MAHAL IN INDIA It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj
Mahal is widely recognized as ”the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. FUN FACT: Legend has it that Shah Jahan had planned to construct another Taj Mahal in black marble on the other side of the river, but the war with his sons interrupted his plans.

This issue we are starting a regular column – the “Bucket List” column. Every month we will feature eight things to do before you die. And we’re kicking off (excuse the pun) with a classic – places to visit.
THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is
the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. FUN FACT: The mortar used is of an unknown origin. It has been analyzed and its chemical composition is known but it can’t be reproduced. It is stronger than the stone and still holding up today.
