Buona sera “Melissini e Melissine”🤗 . Quella che vedete alle mie spalle in questa fotografia 📸 è la porta di Allah…..Per raggiungere Ras Mohammed, il parco naturale 🐠🐠🐠che nasce tra il Golfo di Suez e il Golfo di Aqaba, nella punta meridionale della Penisola del Sinai, in Egitto è necessario passare attraverso la Porta di Allah, una costruzione di cemento eretta in segno di armistizio tra gli Israeliani e gli Egiziani che ha la particolarità di formare la scritta “Allah”, 🌊 leggibile sia da sinistra verso destra (in ebraico) sia da destra verso sinistra (in arabo). . #igersitalia #igersmilano #igers #vmelis81 #estate #estate2019 #igerstravel #fashion #travel #picsoftheday #weekendmood #week #rasmohammednationalpark #rasmohammed #4gclay #4gclaybabes

Sahara Desert, Tunisia 

Although the Sahara desert passes through every North African country, some of the most interesting sights are to be found in Tunisia.  Discover landscapes that were used for filming the Star Wars movies and explore ancient fortified granaries and stone forts that were built into the desert mountains.  

Pyramids of Giza, Egypt 

No list of North African sights would be complete without mentioning the Great Pyramids.  The only surviving member of the original 7 wonders of the world, these colossal structures still have the power to take your breath away and transport you to a long forgotten world.
