Bagerhat district by an obscure saint-General, named Khan Jahan Ali. He
preached in an affluent city during the reign of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah,
then known as 'Khalifalabad'.Khan Jahan adorned this city with more than a
dozen mosques, the spectacular ruins of which are focused around the most
imposing and largest multidomed mosques in Bangladesh, known as the
Shait-Gumbad Masjid (160'×108'). The construction of the mosque was started in
1442 and it was completed in 1459.The mosque was used for prayer purposes. It
was also used as a madrasha and assembly hall.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The 'Sixty Dome' Mosque has walls of unusually
thick, tapered brick in the Tughlaq style and a hut-shaped roofline that
anticipates later styles. The length of the mosque is 160 feet and width is 108
feet. There are 77 low domes arranged in seven rows of eleven, and one dome on
each corner, bringing the total to 81 domes. There are four towers. Two of four
towers were used to call azaan. The interior is divided into many aisles and
bays by slender columns, which culminate in numerous arches that support the
roof.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The mosque has 77 squat domes with 7 four-sided
pitched Bengali domes in the middle row.The vast prayer hall, although provided
with 11 arched doorways on east and 7 each on north and south for ventilation
and light, presents a dark and somber appearance inside. It is divided into 7
longitudinal aisles and 11 deep bays by a forest of 60 slender stone columns,
from which springs rows of endless arches, supporting the domes. Six feet
thick, slightly tapering walls and hollow and round, almost detached corner
towers, resembling the bastions of fortress, each capped by small rounded
cupolas, recall the Tughlaq architecture of Delhi.The mosque represents wonderful
archeological beauty which was the signature in the 15th century.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Masjid', which in Bangla means Sixty Domed Mosque. However, there are 77 domes
over the main hall and exactly 60 stone pillars.t is possible that the mosque
was originally referred to as the Sixty Pillared Mosque where Amud meaning
column in Arabic/Persian, later got corrupted to Gombuj (</span><span style="font-family: Vrinda; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">গম্বুজ</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">)

is a small island (area only 8 km2) in the northeastern part of the Bay of
Bengal, about 9 km south of the tip of the Cox's Bazar-Teknaf peninsula, and
forming the southernmost part of Bangladesh. There is a small adjoining island
that is separated at high tide, called Chhera island. It is about 8 km west of
the northwest coast of Myanmar, at the mouth of the Naf River. The first
settlement started just 250 years ago by some Arabian sailors who named the
island ‘Zajira’. During British occupation the island was named St. Martin
Island. The local names of the island are "Narical Gingira", also
spelled "Narikel Jinjira/Jinjera", which means 'Coconut Island' in
Bengali, and "Daruchini Dip". It is the only coral island in
Bangladesh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Most of the island's approximately 3,700 inhabitants
live primarily from fishing. Besides, the other staple crops are rice and
coconut. Being very common in the island, algae are collected, then dried and
finally exported to Myanmar. Between October and April, the fishermen from neighboring
areas bring their caught fishes to the island's temporary wholesale market.
However exports of chicken, meat and other foods do come in from the mainland
Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma). As the centre and the south are mainly farmland
and makeshift huts, most of the permanent structures are around the far north
of the island.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

conditions on the Bay of Bengal, the inhabitants have no scope to go to the
mainland (teknaf) and their life can become dangerous. There is now a hospital
on the island, but in the past there has often been no doctor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The only way to reach the place is the water
transportation i.e. boats and ships (mostly for tourists) from Teaknaf. Do not
expect to find taxis, tarred roads or electricity here in the island. Except
for the larger hotels that run on generators, there is no electricity supply
from the national grid in the island since a dangerous hurricane in the year
1999. The island is all about sun, sea and palm trees. During the day, the
island comes alive with water and beach sports, with beach parties and bonfires
lighting up the evening skies. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">'Keari Sindbad'an advanced sea going vessel with

foreigners were the only people permitted on the island; however, this has
changed and now residential Bangladeshis are allowed. St. Martin's Island has
become a popular tourist spot. Currently, five shipping liners run daily trips
to the island, including Shahid Sher Niabat, L C T Kutubdia, Eagle, Keari
Cruise & Dine and Keari-Sindbad. Tourists can book their trip either from
Chittagong or from Cox's Bazar. The surrounding coral reef of the island has an
extension named Chera Dwip. A small bush is there, which is the only green part
of Chera Dwip, enhancing the beauty of this island. People do not live on this
part of the island, so it is advisable for the tourists to go there early and
come back by afternoon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

population has increased dramatically. While this situation has proven to be
lucrative for the islanders, it is causing the natural beauty of the island to
deteriorate. Presently there are many efforts being put forth to preserve the
several endangered species of turtles that nest on the island, as well as the
corals, some of which are found only on Narikel Jinjera. Pieces of the coral
reef are being removed in order to be sold to tourists.Nesting turtles are
sometimes taken for food, and their hatchlings are often distracted by the
twinkling lights along the beach. Species of fish, a few just recently
discovered, are being overfished. Every year the fishermen must venture further
out to sea to get their catch. Most of them use motorless boats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is possible to walk around the island in a day
because it measures only 8 km2 (3 sq. mile), shrinking to about 5 km2 (2 sq.
mi) during high tide. The island exists only because of its coral base, so
removal of that coral risks erosion of the beaches. Because of this, St.
Martin's has lost roughly 25% of its coral reef in the past seven years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Myanmar and Bangladesh have resulted in a state of tension between the countries

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lalbagh Fort (also Fort Aurangabad) is an incomplete
17th century Mughal fort complex that stands proudly before the Buriganga River
in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The construction was started in
1678 AD by Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah who was son of Emperor Aurangzeb
and later emperor himself. His successor, Shaista Khan, did not continue the work,
though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mughal prince Muhammad Azam, third son of Aurangzeb
started the work of the fort in 1678 during his vice-royalty in Bengal. He
stayed in Bengal for 15 months. The fort remained incomplete when he was called
away by his father Aurangzeb.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Shaista Khan was the new subahdar of Dhaka in that
time, and he did not complete the fort. In 1684, the daughter of Shaista Khan
named Iran Dukht Pari Bibi died there. After her death, he started to think the
fort as unlucky, and left the structure incomplete. Among the three major parts
of Lalbagh Fort, one is the tomb of Pari Bibi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After Shaista Khan left Dhaka, it lost its
popularity. The main cause was that the capital was moved from Dhaka to
Murshidabad. After the end of the royal Mughal period, the fort became
abandoned. In 1844, the area acquired its name as Lalbagh replacing Aurangabad,
and the fort became Lalbagh Fort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in the southwestern corner. On the north of the south fortification wall were
the utility buildings, stable, administration block, and its western part
accommodated a beautiful roof-garden with arrangements for fountains and a
water reservoir. The residential part was located on the east of the west
fortification wall, mainly to the south-west of the mosque.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bastions at regular intervals two stories in height, and the western wall had
two bastions; the biggest one is near the main southern gate. The bastions had
an underground tunnel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and the Tomb of Pari Bibi in between the two - in one line, but not at equal
distance. A water channel with fountains at regular intervals connects the

population of the camp of diggers grew to around 50,000. As digging progressed,
many men met their deaths in mining accidents. The unsanitary conditions,
scarcity of water and fresh vegetables as well as the intense heat in the
summer, also took their toll. On 13 March 1888 the leaders of the various mines
decided to amalgamate the separate diggings into one big mine and one big
company known as De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, with life governors such
as Cecil John Rhodes, Alfred Beit and Barney Barnato. This massive company
further worked on the Big Hole until it came to the depth of 215 metres, with a
surface area of about 17 hectares and perimeter of 1.6 kilometres. By 14 August
1914, when over 22 million tons of earth had been excavated, yielding 3,000
kilograms (14,504,566 carats) of diamonds, work on the mine ceased after it was
considered the largest hand-dug excavation on earth. By 2005, however, it was
reported that a researcher had re-examined mine records and found that the
hand-dug portions of the Jagersfontein and Bultfontein diamond mines, also in
South Africa, may have been deeper and/or larger in excavated volume. There are
other, larger, mine excavations, but these were created using earth-moving
equipment rather than manual labour.</span></div>

the open pit became an attraction for visitors to the city and by the 1960s a
gathering together of relics of Kimberley's early days, including old buildings
and sundry memorabilia, began to be organised into a formal museum and tourist
attraction. In 1965 De Beers appointed Basil Humphreys as museum consultant,
with the museum being substantially up-graded as an open-air representation of
early Kimberley, with streetscapes and dioramas, and exhibits of mining
technology and transport.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There was an official opening during the Kimberley's
centenary celebrations in 1971. One of the attractions was the Diamond Hall.
The Mine Museum went through subsequent further upgrades. Between 2002 and 2005
De Beers invested R50 million in developing the Big Hole into a world-class
tourism facility, based on the idea of creating "a lasting legacy for the
people of Kimberley." The new facility, the Big Hole Kimberley,
elaborating a theme of 'Diamonds and Destiny', was expected to double visitor
numbers to the Big Hole.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">l. The Suspension Bridge and Lookout Trail is an
easy stroll that leads along the western side of the river mouth, past the
Strandloper Cave to the suspension bridge across the mouth. On the other side
of the bridge there is a short but very steep climb to a lookout point from
which there are fine views of the mouth and the camp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

information centre and leads through scrub forest tip to the Agulhas lookout
from where whales and dolphins can often be spotted in winter. After crossing a
short section of fynbos, the trail takes hikers into the dry forest with some
fine Sickle-leaved Yellowwoods evident. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Blue Duiker Trail continues through the forest,
crossing a stream below a delightful waterfall. Several more streams and a
cavernous tree bole mark the route. After crossing the road to the camp, the
path drops to the coast just west of the start of the Waterfall/Otter trails
and returns past the camp site and chalets. Birdlife unique to the forest is
found west of the road, which makes this trail a favorite with birdwatchers.</span></div>

Humankind</b> is a World Heritage Site first named by UNESCO in 1999, about 50
kilometres northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa in the Gauteng province.
This site currently occupies 47,000 hectares (180 sq mi);it contains a
complex of limestone caves, including the Sterkfontein Caves, where the
2.3-million year-old fossil Australopithecus africanus (nicknamed "Mrs.
Ples") was found in 1947 by Dr. Robert Broom and John T. Robinson.</span></div>

North West Province of South Africa, where excavations still continue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the site has produced a large number of, as well as some of the oldest, hominin
fossils ever found, some dating back as far as 3.5 million years
ago.Sterkfontein alone has produced more than a third of early hominid fossils
ever found prior to 2010. <a href="http://travelandhealthnews.blogspot.com/">MORE Read About It</a> </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Take The Article From WIKIPRDIA</span></span></div>

the aim of presenting the traditional way of life in the Emirate of Dubai. It
includes local antiquities as well as artifacts from African and Asian
countries that traded with Dubai. It also includes several dioramas showing
life in the emirate before the advent of oil, in addition to artifacts from
recent discoveries as old as 3000 B.C.In 2007, Dubai Museum welcomed 1,800
visitors daily, with a yearly total of 611,840. In March 2008, the Museum had
80,000 visitors. The most popular times are from August to April.The Museum

built in 1787 to defend Dubai Creek. The fort's walls are built out of
traditional coral-blocks and held together with lime. The upper floor is
supported by wooden poles known as "handels", and the ceiling is
constructed from palm fronts, mud and plaster. In its history, the fort has
served as residence for the ruling family, seat of government, garrison and
prison. Restored in 1971 (and again extensively in 1995) it is now the city's
premier museum. The entrance has a fascinating exhibition of old maps of the
Emirates and Dubai, showing the mammoth expansion that hit the region after the
oil boom. The courtyard is home to several traditional boats and a
palm-leaf house with an Emirati wind-tower. The right-hand hall features
weaponry and the left-hand hall showcases Emirati musical instruments. Below
the ground floor are display halls with exhibits and dioramas covering various
aspects of traditional Emirati lifestyle (including pearl fishing and Bedouin
desert life) as well as artifacts from the 3,000-4,000 year old graves at Al
Qusais archaeological site.</div>

Port Jackson, also called Sydney Harbour, is the natural
harbour of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The harbour is an inlet of the
Tasman Sea (part of the South Pacific Ocean). It is the location of the Sydney
Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The location of the first European
settlement in Australia, Port Jackson has continued to play a key role in the
history and development of Sydney.Many recreational events are based on or
around the harbour itself particularly the Sydney New Year's Eve celebrations
and the starting point of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.The waterways of Port
Jackson are managed by the NSW Roads and Maritime Services. Sydney Harbour
National Park protects a number of islands and foreshore areas, swimming spots,
bushwalking tracks and picnic areas. take from data <a href="http://wikipedia./">wikipedia.</a></div>
