Located in the south of Morocco, at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains, Aït Benhaddou is a UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site. This well-preserved ancient village is famous for its unique clay complex, with its traditional polygonal fortresses and staggered adobe houses, perfectly demonstrating the architectural ingenuity and lifestyle of the Berbers. As an important post for the ancient Saharan caravans to Marrakech, it was once a trading hub for salt, gold and other commodities, and still retains its medieval simplicity. The Kasbah (fortress) in the village is winding and undulating, and at dusk it takes on a golden hue under the setting sun, just like a picture scroll frozen in time. It has also been the setting for many international film and television productions, such as Game of Thrones and Gladiator, making this thousand-year-old village a cultural landmark connecting history and modernity, and attracting tourists from all over the world to explore the deep heritage of Morocco.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
