Capetown Citytour and Citywalk
Built between 1666 and 1679 by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a maritime replenishment station, the Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa.
The gateway – built in 1682 – replaced the old entrance, which faced the sea. The pediment bears the coat of arms of the United Netherlands, portraying the crowned lion rampant holding the seven arrows of unity in its paw. Carved on the architrave below are the arms of Van Hoorn, Delft , Amsterdam, Middelburg, Rotterdam and Enkhuizen—all Dutch cities in which the United East India Company had chambers. Two VOC (Vereenighde Oost-Indische Compagnie) monograms flank the carvings.

A tour around the amazing city
The tour may take almost an entire day, but we guarantee that no famous tourist spot will be missed out during the trip. We understand your thirst for adventure and the need to explore, so we will start the day by picking you up from the destination you tell us. Our first stop will be at the Dubai Museum, which is near the Al Fahidi Fort. In this museum, you will get a chance to discover the Arabic history as well as the history of Dubai. You will find many ancient artifacts and exciting discoveries that will fulfill your requirement for knowledge. We will then continue our journey to the Jumeirah Mosque which was built in 1979. The mosque witnesses a lot of footfall every day and many tourists come to visit the mosque as it is the best representation of the Islamic architecture.
We will then proceed to the Jumeirah Public Beach where you can enjoy the sun and the water and have fun bathing. After that, our tour will continue to Burj Al Arab which is one of the tallest and most lavish building in the city. We’ll have you know that it is also one of the most expensive spots in the city.
A trip to the Palm Island is a must. This artificial island is one of the best creations of architects and engineers working in the city. As Atlantis Hotel is on this island, we will take you there for a short visit as well.
One of the busiest roads in the city, you can spot almost any type of car on the Sheikh Zayed road. We will also assist you in exploring the towering skyscrapers of the city and end the tour at one of the best malls in the city. You will be able to shop in the malls and return to us, after which we will take you to your hotel or any other place you want.
Because the Youth Forum focussed on oil and gas issues, we were taken to the okrug's drill core storage facility. This image is of the facade above the main entrance.
Here, cores drilled anywhere in the okrug are stored for future reference. If the core comes from a government survey, then the whole core is deposited here. If the core was drilled by a commercial company, the law requires a third to be deposited.
When they're received, each core is studied, documented and then stored in 1-metre lengths in a massive warehouse/library (see the next image). A geologist explained how cores are drilled, let us see samples of different sorts of cores, told us how they are documented and then showed us the library.

Wien ist die Bundeshauptstadt und zugleich eines der neun Bundesländer Österreichs. Die Stadt ist mit rund 1.680.000 Einwohnern die bevölkerungsreichste Stadt des Landes, im Großraum Wien lebt mit etwa zwei Millionen Menschen ein Viertel aller Österreicher. Bezogen auf die Einwohnerzahl ist Wien die zehntgrößte Stadt der Europäischen Union. Mit dem Büro der Vereinten Nationen in Wien (UNOV) ist die Stadt einer der vier offiziellen Amtssitze der Vereinten Nationen. Weitere bedeutende internationale Organisationen mit Sitz in Wien sind etwa die OPEC, die OSZE und die Internationale Atomenergie-Organisation (IAEO). Die IAEO und die UNO haben einen eigenen Gebäudekomplex, die sogenannte UNO-City im Zentrum eines Stadterweiterungsgebietes in der Nähe der Donau.
Die Stadt war jahrhundertelang kaiserliche Reichshaupt- und Residenzstadt der Habsburger und entwickelte sich in dieser Zeit zu einem kulturellen und politischen Zentrum Europas. Als vierte Stadt der Welt, nach London, New York und Paris, zählte Wien zwei Millionen Einwohner. Nach Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges hat Wien allerdings rund ein Viertel der damaligen Einwohnerschaft verloren. Die Altstadt Wiens, die nach wie vor von der Habsburger Herrschaft zeugt, sowie das Schloss Schönbrunn wurden auf Antrag der Republik Österreich von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt. Der Stephansdom, neben dem Riesenrad im Prater und vielen anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten eines der Wahrzeichen Wiens, steht als eines der höchsten Bauwerke der Stadt und als Metropolitankirche im Zentrum von Wien.
Vienna (in German Wien pronounced /viːn/; /viˈɛnʌ/ English; see also other names) is the capital of Austria, and is also one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primary city; with a population of about 1.7 million [1] (2.3 million within the metropolitan area), it is by far the largest city in Austria as well as its cultural, economic and political center. It is the 10th largest city by population in the European Union and was listed by Mercer Human Resource Consulting as having the 2nd highest quality of living (as of 2008). Vienna is host to many major international organizations such as the United Nations and OPEC. Vienna lies in the very east of Austria and is close to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site[2] and an Economist Intelligence Unit study of 127 world cities ranked it first equal with Vancouver for the quality of life.[3]
