1.______
While this is the country's oldest city and also one of its major economic centres, it
is not the capital. As well as fantastic beaches and loads of sun, the city boasts
huge skyscrapers, friendly people and great restaurants. Possessing a great energy,
this place has come a long way since its beginning as a penal colony.
2._____
This is a loud and heavily populated city. It's an unpredictable place, absolutely full
of people with a real intensity about it: you will either love it or hate it. New tower
blocks stand next to traditional houses made of sun-baked mud, with some of the
oldest and most famous monuments in the world visible from the city centre. Why
try and be so modern when your city is famous for having something so old?
3._____
Home to almost 2 million people, this lively, colourful capital has been built up from
virtually nothing in 130 years. It is currently home to the tallest building in the
world, comprised of two huge towers as
well as many modern buildings crafted with an Islamic flavour to their design.
Tradition has not been forgotten here, though, as is evidenced in the thriving night
markets and street life all over the city.
4._____
A place of world-class food, museums and architecture and considered the most
romantic city in the world by some, this capital city demands to be photographed,
painted and enjoyed by the young and not-so-young alike. Lights upon the river at
night attract couples from all over the world to honeymoon or rediscover their love
for one another. And for art lovers, it is home to some of finest masterpieces in the
world. Visiting all of the city's museums would take at least a month.
5._____
Known locally as the 'marvellous city', it attracts visitors looking for a good time.
Famous for its carnival and spectacular location on the coast, this populous city
always has room for a few more visitors in its hotels. The locals are fanatical about
sport so head down to the beach for a game of football in the sand and see if you
can spot any celebrities.
