In the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, located on the northern tip of Africa, you can stand on European soil while gazing directly into Morocco.

The fortified border here is one of the few places where Europe and Africa meet on land, making it geopolitically fascinating. Just across the Strait of Gibraltar, you can also see the narrow waterway that separates the two continents—a breathtaking reminder of how close yet distinct they are.
