Muscat, Oman
Al Alam Palace
This royal palace in Oman is owned by the Sultan, who has retained the property through eight generations.
Ring ring! Call’s coming from inside the house, er… train station. The Ano Lechonia Train Station is a stop on the Pelion railway in Greece, which connects the city of Volos with the town of Mileai and has been operating for over a century. The railway is only 60 centimeters (just under 2 feet!) wide, making it one of the most narrow railway lines in the world. Hop aboard to see the breathtaking views while the train ascends the slopes of Pelion — it’s definitely worth phoning home about!
