Tunisia
Dougga
Dougga in Tunisia gives Ephesus in Turkey a run for its money when it comes to impressive Roman
ruins. It is not quite as grand, but it's also not nearly as crowded with tourists. Since it is inland - away
from any conceivable cruise ship route - it will probably remain that way. When we went there in January
2007, we encountered maybe a dozen other tourists and we could wander about the crumbling ruins and
immerse ourselves totally in the magic of the place.
Zambia
The Train from Kapiri-Mposhi to Dar Es Salaam
I count this as a destination, because anywhere that you have to remain for 45 hours (up to 88 if it
breaks down, allegedly) can surely be thought of as a destination. During the course of your travels on
this train, you will see some of the most beautiful and pristine views of southern Africa and have no
choice but to start conversations with your cabin-mates that you will remember years down the line.
