6. The Giant Blue Eye - Mauritania
If there is ever a place that will strike you as strange, I bet this one will leave you in awe. Located in the Western Sahara Desert - Mauritania, is one of Africa's strangest wonder. Also known as the "Eye of the Sahara", this Giant Blue Eye is believed to be over a 100 million years old. It's amazing structure is like a blue circle.
Although this incredible spectacle may not be fully understood by scientists, some believe it to be caused by the impact of a steroid or by some volcanic eruption; while others say the hole was formed when God flooded the Earth with water in the days of Noah. If these theories, however, can be proven it would remain a mystery we may never know of. Eye of the Sahara
5. Crook's Corner - South Africa
Located in the Far North Eastern end of the Kruger National Park where the Luvhuvhu and Limpopo rivers meet - South Africa, is an extremely vast and historic island that once served as a hideout for fugitives and criminals on the run. Also known as the 'haven of scoundrels', it is nestled in between three countries - South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
The origin of it's name was given because of the immense number of criminals that escaped the law in the '90s. Decades ago, the criminals would travel in extreme conditions whilst evading wild animals that roam the area. It has, however, now become a Top Tourists destination in the Kruger National Park.
4. The Abandoned outdoor Movie theater - Egypt
Somewhere around the southern byland of the Sinai Desert in Egypt remains a group of about 700 seats for an outdoor movie cinema. This remarkably eerie theater widely dubbed as the "End of the world cinema", was built by a Frenchman named Diynn Eadel in the late 1990's.
Regardless of it's historic feat, there were suggestions that the local authorities weren't thrilled with the idea of a prospective new theatre in the middle of the desert at the time and, therefore conspired to disrupt the Premiere night by cutting the power and destroying the generator.
It was reported to have been permanently closed off to tourists and eventually destroyed. No one knows who was responsible and there has been no response or news from officials regarding the destruction. It remains to be seen what becomes of the site. But, make no mistake that the "End of the World Cinema" remained an historic place in Africa till this day.
3. The seven coloured Earth of Charamel - Mauritius
Located on the South-Western tip of Mauritius, is found this spectacular destination bordered by an 83-metre high waterfall found in the Charamel plain of the Rivière Noire District. It not only catches the eye of Tourists, Nature lovers and Geology enthusiast around the world but, it provides a unique experience for those who simply wants to understand more about one of Nature's amazing wonder.
It is formed by a volcanic eruption, resulting in seven colors of earth spun together to form the must-see feature and, has since become one of Mauritius' main tourists attraction since the 1960's. Seven colored Earths
2. The marshes of deadvlei - Namibia
Deadvlei meaning "Dead Marsh", located near the salt flat (which is a natural dry plain whose bed contains abundant salt); in the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia is a white clay pan. A very shocking fact is that the trees in this area has been dead for 600 - 700 years ago, due to the fact that there was no longer water to survive.
Some suggest there are other species of plants that are able to adapt and survive by living off little rainfall and Morning mists. Although it may so like one of the spookiest places yet, but that is what what makes the place even more fascinating.
1. The church of St. George - Lalibela
Named after the King Gebrel Mesqel Lalibela of the Zagwe Dynasty, and located in a town called the Amahara Region, Ethiopia. The Church of St. Geaorge is one of the eleven rock hewn monolithic churches in Lalibela.
Long dated to the 12th - 13th century AD, the Church of St. George was carved downwards using an Architectural material known as the volcanic tuff. It was commissioned by the late King and, after having become the best built of the Eleven churches in the Lalibela area it was dubbed as one of the "Eighth Wonder of the World".
