  • "To visit" is redundant - people go to destinations. - Sitush (talk) 21:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
  • The article is new enough, long enough and within policy regarding neutrality, sourcing and avoidance of close paraphrasing (Earwig rates it as a 4.8% likelihood). The hook is reasonably interesting, properly sourced and neutral. The image is appropriate and QPQ has been met. Minor tweaks were made to the hook. Perhaps a hook based on the quote "Jesus, Moses, and Mohammed all walked this path." (from "Places You Need to Visit in 2018" in National Geographic) might also be viable.

@Alansohn: What do you think about merging both? Makeandtoss (talk) 05:03, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
Makeandtoss It only makes the hook that much more interesting. I would have suggested adding a new hook as ALT1, but I think that the revised ALT0 is properly sourced and verified. Still good to go. Alansohn (talk) 05:11, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
