Venice Carnival

For two weeks before Lent, Venice, which already attracts romantics from around the world all year round, is filled with bright masks, carnival costumes, music and laughter.

SEA, TREASURES AND BAZARAS: WHY GO TO ISRAEL IN THE VELVET SEASON

Do not drink tap water. Each country has its own standards for the quality of tap water. For example, in Russia in Moscow they are very high, and drinking tap water is safe for health. But in many countries they do not consider it necessary to maintain high water quality. This has its own logic, because only a scanty part of the tap water is used for drinking. Such a high quality is a luxury that not every country can afford. In Egypt, tap water is unsuitable for drinking. Poor water is used in the central regions of the country, and desalinated water in the coastal regions. Continue reading
