Malintal is located in the heart of the Hardap Region in southern Namibia and is the capital city of the region. Situated on the edge of the arid Kalahari Basin, the semi-desert landscape that surrounds the city is dominated by a hot and dry climate with an average annual rainfall of less than 200 millimeters.
As an important livestock hub in Namibia, Malintal's economy is dominated by cattle and sheep farming, with a wide range of surrounding pastures. The city has a large livestock market and regularly organizes auctions to attract buyers from all over the country. In addition, its location at the intersection of the B1 (Namibia's main north-south highway) and the C15 makes it a transportation hub in the south, which supports the development of logistics and trade.
Malintal has a population of approximately 15,000, with a predominantly native Nama community that retains a strong traditional culture. The city's infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and government institutions, is small but functional. Due to its remoteness, water scarcity is a chronic challenge, with dependence on groundwater and external supplies.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan. The town is famous for its eponymous alpine lake, Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Eurasia, at an altitude of about 1,900 meters above sea level, which is known as the "Pearl of Armenia".
Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
With a population of around 20,000, the town of Sevan retains its traditional Armenian culture, while the infrastructure is constantly being improved to provide accommodation and catering services. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
