Middle East
Due to hosting the 2022 World Cup in December, Qatar and its capital Doha are the centre of focus this year. Ras Al Khaimah, an up-and-coming adventure port city in the United Arab Emirates, also made the list.
Africa
TIME’s top two cities in Africa are the capitals of Kenya and Rwanda, respectively. Also suggested are the wine-producing Franschhoek in South Africa and the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia.
Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe is the final choice from the continent.
The far future
TIME’s top destinations for adventurers in 2022 also include the Arctic polar area and the International Space Station, which barely qualifies for the list due to its location in low Earth orbit.
