Located in the Marrakech-Safi region of southern Morocco, at the foot of the majestic Atlas Mountains, Ait Bahya is one of the traditional Berber villages. It is famous for its well-preserved adobe complexes, unique kasbahs (fortress-like dwellings) and winding stone alleyways, which perfectly demonstrate the wisdom of the Berbers to live in harmony with nature. The village is surrounded by terraced fields planted with olives, apricots and other crops, and the scenery varies throughout the seasons, making it an ideal place to experience Moroccan countryside life. Although not as well known as the neighboring ancient town of Ait Benhaddou, Ait Baha retains a more primitive atmosphere of life, where visitors can taste the traditional Berber cuisine, listen to ancient songs, and feel the deep heritage of North African culture.
Svalbard and Jan Mayen is a Norwegian Overseas Territory located in the Arctic Ocean region, consisting of the islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen. Svalbard is situated between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole, with the city of Longyearbyen as the main settlement, and is subject to the Svalbard Treaty, which permits free entry and exit for citizens of many countries, but not for non-Norwegian nationals who are not allowed to reside there permanently. Jan Mayen is a volcanic island with no permanent residents and only a weather station. The area has a harsh climate and is known for its polar landscapes and unique ecosystems, with scientific research and tourism as the main activities, as well as being home to a global seed bank, which is important for biodiversity conservation.
