What kind of views can you see from the world’s tallest buildings? At the end of 2004, when Taipei 101 had just been completed, its height of 509.2 meters made it the tallest building in the world. In recent years, countries have competed to set new records. In January 2010, the 828-meter-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai officially opened, and it still holds the record as the tallest building in the world to this day. Masterpiece Travel invites you to admire the magnificent views from the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and enjoy a round-trip flight with Emirates Airlines, which has been awarded the world’s best airline in the 2016 SKYTRAX Airline Awards. The flight offers in-flight Wi-Fi and the ice entertainment system with over 2,000 on-demand audio and video channels.

After enjoying the beautiful views from the 124th-floor observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, why not head to the world’s largest Dubai Mall to check off everything on your shopping list? If you’re not into shopping, you can visit what is claimed to be the world’s largest indoor aquarium here and spend a wonderful holiday walking through the underwater tunnel surrounded by marine life.

Additionally, on relevant itineraries by Masterpiece Travel, visitors are arranged to enjoy a buffet lunch at Dubai’s six-star Atlantis Hotel, priced at $90 USD. The diverse international cuisine will treat you to a rich feast for the eyes, nose, and taste buds.

Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates in West Asia, while Jordan in the same region is shrouded in a sense of fantasy and mystery. Among them, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, mostly built by carving massive pink sandstone cliffs, creates dazzling colors under the sunlight, hence earning the nickname “the Rose City.”

▲ Petra was once a filming location for the famous movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Another famous attraction in Jordan is the Dead Sea. The water of the Dead Sea comes from the Jordan River and has an extremely high salt content, making it impossible for fish to survive here. The Dead Sea is also the lowest-altitude lake in the world.

▲ Want to try floating effortlessly on the water without relying on lifebuoys or life jackets? Come to the Dead Sea in Jordan, and your wish can come true right away. Visitors planning to go to the Dead Sea shouldn’t forget to bring swimwear.

Next, head to nearby Egypt and take a Nile River cruise to enjoy the scenery along the way, and visit the famous pyramids and the Sphinx. The Giza Pyramid Complex in Cairo, Egypt, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was also selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. On Masterpiece Travel’s itinerary, visitors can enter the pyramids to explore their mysterious interiors.

▲ The gaze of the Sphinx aligns with the 30-degree latitude. On the days of the summer and autumn solstices, the sun rises directly in front of its line of sight.

▲ Came to Egypt but didn’t take a Nile River cruise? Then you can’t say you’ve been to Egypt.

Moving northward to passionate Turkey. In Cappadocia, Turkey, millions of years ago, frequent volcanic activity covered the surrounding areas with volcanic ash and lava. After long-term sedimentation and natural erosion, this unique landscape was formed, where visitors can see all kinds of bizarrely shaped rocks.

▲ Other than Kenya, Cappadocia in Turkey is also considered one of the best places on Earth to take a hot air balloon ride. It was also selected by National Geographic magazine as one of the ten most beautiful places on Earth.

The dominant religion in Turkey is Islam, so naturally, there are many solemn mosques here. The famous Green Mosque in Bursa was built in the early 15th century, with its interior extensively decorated using green tiles, which also influenced the decorative styles of later Turkish mosques. However, due to an earthquake that damaged the interior, extensive repairs used a large number of blue tiles, so the Green Mosque we see today is actually a blend of blue and green.
