9? Karak Tea

Karak is made up of a blend of tea, milk, water, tea, sugar and cardamom which are boiled together and then simmered over a low flame to intensify the flavour. These are the basic ingredients, but some people also add other spices like cinnamon, cloves or saffron to add to the flavor or even ginger; it’s all about personal taste really, but the pure Qatari version usually has just cardamom.

It’s a comfort drink that’s easy to make and readily available all over the country. It brings people together. It binds them through their shared loved of Karak. It’s a staple at gatherings and a must-have beverage when friends and family are hanging around together.

10.Shellfish Dye

The island's name comes from when it was the main site of the Kassite-controlled purple dye industry in the second millennium BC. This was a thriving industry at the time, since purple has traditionally been associated with royalty.

1. Victoria Falls

The Victoria Falls is located at the border connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe on the Zambezi River. Victoria Town is situated on the western side of the country, and that’s why the falls have the name of the city.  The water drops from a cliff with a height of 354 feet (108 meters) and a width of 5,604 feet (1,708 meters), making it the largest waterfall on the globe. Victoria Falls is one of the world’s seven wonders.

2. Great Zimbabwe - extensive stone ruins of an African Iron Age city in the south-eastern hills of the modern country of Zimbabwe, which was the heart of a thriving trading empire from the 11th to the 15th centuries. The word zimbabwe, the country’s namesake, is a Shona (Bantu) word meaning “stone houses.”

3. Many sources hold that "Zimbabwe" derives from dzimba-dza-mabwe, translated from the Karanga dialect of Shona as "houses of stones" (dzimba = plural of imba, "house"; mabwe = plural of ibwe, "stone"). The Karanga-speaking Shona people live around Great Zimbabwe in the modern-day Masvingo province.

However, archaeologist Peter Garlake thinks different and claims that "Zimbabwe" represents a contracted form of dzimba-hwe, which means "venerated houses" in the Zezuru dialect of Shona and usually references chiefs' houses or graves.
