The Great Mosque of Samarra is located in the city of Sāmarrā, Iraq, about 120 km north of Baghdad, on the banks of the Tigris River. It was built in the 9th century and remained the largest mosque in the world for 400 years before being destroyed by the armies of the Mongolian ruler Hulagou Khan during the invasion of Iraq in 1278.

What a fabulous boating weekend in Hvar, Croatia. Normally you need to queue up to two hours to visit sites like the Blue Cave and Green Cave near Hvar, not this summer. Chill. #Hvar #BlueLagoon #GreenCave #BlueCave #travelgram #luxurylife #travelawesome
Staying cool at the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Didn’t have to bring any credit cards for this weekend trip. The ring I’m wearing allows me to pay contactless wherever I go thanks to @kbc_be wearables.
Adventurous hiking in the Dolomites. 🤩
Golden hour at magical Santorini island. 🇬🇷 After my weekend trips to Rome and the Amalfi Coast earlier this month, I realised this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the European highlights without mass tourism.
