The ''Three Falls'' gorge in Lebanon is seen from the valley, overlapping one another and jutting out into a chasm that descends into Mount Lebanon. During the spring thaw, a waterfall falls 90 to 100 meters behind the three wells and then another 240 meters down. The waterfall was discovered to the Western world in 1952 by French speleologist Henri Coiffait. The waterfall and sinkhole were fully mapped in the 1980s by the Spéléo Club du Liban.

In the desert of Saudi Arabia, Mada'in Saleh, one of the oldest cities in the world, dating back around four thousand years, emerges as if it were a mirage.
This ancient Nabatean city, located near the border with Jordan, is the second most important in Nabatean culture, after Petra.
Among its notable structures is Qasar al-Farid, a monumental tomb known as the 'Lonely Castle'.
This tomb, isolated from the rest of the city, stands out for its imposing size and its unique decoration, which includes Nabataean columns instead of the pilasters common on other facades of Mada'in Saleh.
The tomb is inscribed with the dedication: 'To Hyyan bin Kuza and his descendants'. Credits: Pedro Arturo Hernández Zeta

These mysterious stones in Romania called 'trovants' grow, move and even breed. After every heavy rain shower, they absorb the rain's minerals, which then mix with the chemicals already present in the rock, creating a reaction and pressure inside - ultimately making the stone grow and multiply.
