The Overseas Highway 2
The Overseas Highway leaps from island to island across 42 bridges southwest through Florida Keys and it was built in 1938 along the course of an old railroad that has been destroyed by a hurricane. The highway is mostly over water and in about four hours you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and the ocean and of course, the incredible sunrises and sunsets if you come here at the right time. During holidays the traffic will make journeys through this highway a bit longer but I’m sure everyone would love to stay on this road as long as possible.

14. Red Rock Scenic Road – USA

The Atlantic Road was voted as the Norwegian construction of the century and it’s a five mile long stretch of road connecting Molde and Kristiansund in this country. The road rides above some rough and uneven surfaces and it’s spectacular because it rises itself and falls at many places like a sea at the time of a rough tide. Apart from the incredible road itself, the scenery surrounding it could give any driver shivers.

The North Yungas Road is a 43 mile road connecting La Paz and Coroico deep into the Bolivian Andes. The road is name by the locals “El Camino de la Muerte” or the Road of Death and it was named the world’s most dangerous road in 1995. The road, famous for its extreme danger has a single lane width with terrifyingly drop offs, tight hairpins, narrow passages and almost no guardrails at all. The fog and rain can make visibility poor and the road surface muddy which adds even more dancer to any journey on this road. On average, there is a fatal accident every couple of weeks on this road and it is estimated that 200 to 300 travelers are killer per year on this treacherous road. Today however, the Youngas road has less traffic and it used mostly by travelers who want to feel its thrill.

One of the most notable attractions from the Fjord in Norway is the Trollstigen road, a steep winding mountain road located in the Rauma region. The word Trollstigen means the Troll Ladder in English and it represents a series of stunning roads with a breathtaking view and a couple of incredible waterfalls. This road is very narrow and leaves very few possibilities for vehicles to pass each other and with its steep 9% gradient and 11 hairpins it’s really, really challenging. But it’s all worth it if you get to the top where you’ll see this amazing road from above and the Stigfossen waterfall, a 320 m waterfall which falls down the mountain side.

8. Guoliang Tunnel Road – China

The tunnel carved from the mountains is 1,200 meters long, 5 meters high and 4 meters wide and its also one of the most dangerous roads in the world.

The road has many hard switchbacks on an extremely steep incline and numerous hairpins without any safety guard rails. For the most part of the year, this pass is covered by snow and that makes it incredibly hard to negotiate. Despite the fact that it’s one of the most challenging roads in the world, the Los Caracoles Pass has a strong safety record.

5. Col de Turini – France

The road is included as part of a 20 miles rally stage every year of the Monte Carlo Rally in the World Rally Championship and it combines 34 hairpins and long stretch lines where cars can reach top speeds of over 110 mph. This stage is one of the most challenges stages from the WRC and apart from the wonderful road, the scenery also makes it one of the most attractive and exciting roads on Earth.

The road includes 27 challenging hairpins and a 1.1 km long tunnel at the bottom which also has 3 switchbacks inside to make things even more interesting.  The surface of the road is perfect and the ones who were already on this road think of it as a rollercoaster. It’s probably the most fun road from Norway and its last 30 km to Lysebotn will put a smile on every driving enthusiast’s face.

Transfagarasan 2
Transfagarasan 3
The Transfăgărășan (that’s the exact spelling) is the highest and most dramatic paved road from Romania. Built as a strategic military route by the former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu between 1970 and 1974, this road connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia, and the cities of Sibiu and Pitesti. The Transfagarasan represents 90 km of twists and turns run North to South across the tallest sections of the Carpathian Mountains between the highest peaks of the mountain in this country.
On top of the mountains this road provides access to Balea Lake, a glacier lake which has been here for thousands of years and it also has an almost 1 km long tunnel straight through the mountain’s top. The road was built at a high cost both financially and from a human standpoint with more than 6 million kilograms of explosive being used on the northern face and official records of 40 soldiers who lost their lives while building it. Unofficial records however mention that only the tunnel took about 400 lives.
The north end of the road is the most spectacular and it’s dotted with steep hairpin turns, long S curves and sharp descents combined with an absolutely stunning view! Between October and June this road is under the snow and usually closed so… that means only a couple of months in the summer it’s available to enjoy a pure driving pleasure. Top Gear also named this road as the best road in the world !

Masjid Ais Pertama di Dunia



Sebuah masjid yang diperbuat daripada ais akan dibina berhampiran Ice Hotel, Jukkasjarvi, utara Sweden. Menurut perancangan, kedudukan masjid tersebut akan dibina berdekatan dengan bangunan gereja ais yang telah dibini sebelum ini.

Ketua CEO Ice Hotel, Yngve Bergqvist, mengatakan perancangan pembangunan masjid ais wujud daripada kebebasan beragama di Jukkasjarvi.

“Pembangunan gereja ais telah menarik minat pengunjung untuk datang. Malah 150 pasangan memutuskan untuk berkahwin di gereja ini,” katanya seperti dipetik dalam thelocal.com.

Bergqvist akan memastikan pembangunan masjid bukan semata-mata untuk kepentingan komersil melainkan untuk meningkatkan penyampaian maklumat tentang Islam. “Pengunjung bakal datang dari pelbagai negara. Kami fikir sungguh bagus jika boleh membina masjid setelah sebelum ini membina geraja,” katanya.

Bergqvist mengharapkan bagunan masjid ais ini akan siap sepenuhnya tahun ini.

Imam Mahmoud Aldebe berharap pembinaan masjid ais dapat memberikan kesan berupa pemahaman yang benar mengenai Islam. Sebab, sebahagian pengetahuan masyarakat Sweden mengenai Islam terlalu sedikit. “Idea ini tidak lah terlalu kontroversi. Harapannya, tentu memudahkan kami (komuniti Muslim) untuk berdialog dengan masyarakat Sweden,” katanya.

Aldebe mengatakan tiada masalah mengenai kedudukan masjid berada berhampiran dengan gereja. Baginya, dengan kedudukan masjid berhampiran gereja akan memudahkan dialog antara budaya dan agama. “Mungkin imam yang bertugas akan memberitahu kepada tetamu mengenai Islam.

40 ORANG EKSTREMIS HINDU JADI BUTA SELEPAS MERUNTUHKAN MASJID DI INDIA.




Ingatkah kita kepada Masjid Babry yang dirobohkan oleh orang Hindu di India. Rupanya , selepas perobohan tersebut ada peristiwa yang aneh berlaku kepada mereka yang merobohkannya rumah Allah ini. Bacalah.

Sekitar 40 orang Hindu yang terlibat dalam serangan keji ke atas Masjid Babry untuk merobohkannya pada tanggal 6 Desember 1992,telah mendapat buta setelah gagal diubati walaupun dirawat oleh doktor-doktor pakar terkenal di India.

Berita ini diketahui melalui laporan yang dihebahkan oleh akhbar Anshary Express yang diterbitkan di India. Ahbar itu memberitahu propaganda umat Hindu untuk merobohkan masjid tersebut turut disertai sejumlah besar orang-orang Hindu ekstrem dari berbagai pelosok India. Mereka sebelumnya telah lama mendapatkan latihan untuk tujuan itu.

Akhbar tersebut juga menyatakan 31 orang yang buta itu tinggal di satu komplek di kota Maharinor. Sebelumnya , mereka pernah melakukan usaha merobohkan masjid tua milik umat Islam itu namun belum berhasil.

Sekarang setelah masjid ini dirobohkan, kumpulan yang buta ini bergantung hidup kepada bantuan yang diberikan organisasi-organisasi Hindu. Selain 31 orang, terdapat 9 orang lain yang merupakan anggota organisasi Gazy Boora di Atar Pradesh turut hilangan penglihatan mereka atau buta setelah terlibat sama merobohkan Masjid Babry.

Berdasarkan laporan akhbar tersebut, mereka yang buta menyesali tindakan tersebut dengan menyatakan bahwa tuhan-tuhan mereka telah murka terhadap mereka karena telah merobohkan Masjid Babry. Menurut mereka, kebutaan yang mereka alami itu tidak lain adalah sebagai balasan dari tuhan-tuhan mereka itu .

Menurut klaim/wakil mereka, salah seorang waris dari orang-orang tersebut menyebutkan, anak lelakinya memang telah mendapatkan latihan khusus untuk turut serta dalam tindakan merobohkan masjid itu namun ia mengaku belum mengetahui identiti pihak yang telah melatih anak lelakinya itu.

Penduduk setempat terutama yang berada di kawasan sekitar Masjid Babry berkeyakinan bahawa dengan tindakan perobohan tersebut itu mereka telah melakukan dosa besar.Sebab itulah, balasannya mereka menjadi buta.

Sekali pun kejadian ini sudah lama, tetapi mudah-mudahan menjadi pengajaran. Kehilangan penglihatan mereka / buta merupakan azab dari Allah ke atas mereka.Tindakan meroboh Masjid Babry jelas sekali amat besar dosanya.
