The cube-shaped structure is the most sacred site in Islam . It is considered by Muslims to be the Bayt Allah "House of God". Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing Salat. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba. It serves as a focal point for Muslims around the world, unifying them in worship and symbolizing their common belief, spiritual focus and direction.

Victoria Falls is a natural waterfall named after the British Queen. It is located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It has been classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft) and height of 108 metres (354 ft), resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water. The two national parks are Mosi-oa-Tunya located in Zambia and Victoria Falls lacated on Zimbabwean shore.  One unique vantage point is across the Knife-edge Bridge, where visitors can have the finest view of the Eastern Cataract and the Main Falls as well as the Boiling Pot, where the river turns and heads down the Batoka Gorge. Other vantage points include the Falls Bridge, Devils Pool and the Lookout Tree, both of which command panoramic views across the Main Falls. A famous feature is the naturally formed Devil's Pool near the edge of the falls on Livingstone Island on the Zambian side. When the river flow is at a certai...
