My family went to Kuwait last summer to spend a vacation and I was with them during this wonderful vacation. It is one of the most memorable experiences for me so far. During this trip, we went to a beach named Messilah and enjoyed ourselves a lot. This is a great topic and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to let me talk about it.
Kuwait is a beautiful country but I did not have the chance to visit it until last year. We stayed in a four-star hotel near Messilah beach which offered us a fabulous view. Messilah is one of the biggest and grandest beaches in the entire country and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The beach is filled with white sands where we often walked for an hour or two along the seashore to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The deep blue seawater was a beautiful sight to look at during the day time, and at night it reflected the moonlight -that made the place heavenly. Our experience was amazing, to say the least.
This was a great place to be with my family and I really liked the fact that everybody enjoyed being there. Besides, there was a swimming pool just for junior members who were unable to swim on the beach.
During our visit to Kuwait, I mostly spent my time near the beach. In fact, my parents went to visit the city and did some shopping, but I avoided doing shopping by all means. I preferred to take part in different water sports and took some boat trips on the sea as well. I tried to dive under the sea but later discarded the idea as I was not an expert swimmer
It was the best holiday for me as I spent it with my family after a long. I also did not have seen such beautiful seabeaches before. My parents also allowed me to move alone to different places and enjoy myself all alone for the first time in my life. The natural views of the beach were outstanding and I loved the seafood. So, I think it was the best holiday for me so far.

This is a great topic to talk about, and thank you for it. Last summer, I probably had the best holiday of my life when I went to Tenerife in Spain with my family. I had the biggest splash of my life there.
We stayed at Tenerife in Spain for two weeks and had lots of fun activities, including trying local foods, visiting different places, and enjoying night parties. I will remember these days for a long time. Moreover, the natural views were so charming that I had a hard time believing that they were real. Considering everything, this was the best holiday I have ever spent out of my country and I still feel lucky for that.
Tenerife Island is the largest of the Canary Islands in Spain. It also has some special locations that are breathtakingly beautiful. The exotic beaches were the other attractive places that drag thousands of visitors each week. The high-end restaurants and their special dishes also play an important role to make it a favourite tourists spot.
I did lots of things there. Spending an entire night on the beach was a special experience for me. I had the desire to participate in the Carnaval de Santa Cruz but missed that as the event was set to be held at a later date. Spending a night under the starry sky and listening to the sea waves thrilled me to the fullest extent possible. It was an out of the world experience for me. Walking through the boulevards, visiting the National Park, bating on the sea – all of them had been special to me.
This was the best holiday experience for me so far as I did spend some of the best days of my life there. I enjoyed the beautiful natural sceneries, wondered about the vastness of the sea, ate exotic seafood and experienced a very unique European lifestyle that I was not accustomed to. This was an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

4. The old towns and resorts in Romania are highly recommended for American tourists. I never thought that I would enjoy a distant part of the world, especially an old town so much.

7. As a student of archaeology, I was excited to get a chance to visit different archaeological sites in Egypt. I loved the large pyramids and other past relics. It was so amazing an experience that I will never forget this tour.
