Lofoten Island in Norway.. a beauty that captures minds

Weather of Arabia - The Lofoten Archipelago is a group of islands in northern Norway, adorned with small fishing villages located on the outskirts of fjords descending from very rugged coasts and high peaks. Lofoten Island is often described as one of the most famous tourist attractions in Norway .

The most important tourist cities and towns of Lovonen on the island of Lofoten are manifested in Rhine, Svolvaer, Stamsund, Leknes, and another city called Å , which means the river in the local language, and therefore the name of the archipelago is added to it so that people can differentiate it from other rivers and straits in the country.

As for the tourist villages, the most famous of them is Henningsvaer, which is a pleasant village that is reached by a short bus trip to Svolvaer, and there is also Kabelvage, which is the oldest fishing village, and it has become a great tourist destination for lovers of seafood and small shops.

Muskstromen spiral

The Moskstraumen vortex, popularly known as the Maelström, is one of the most powerful ocean eddies in the world and occurs twice a day in the area between Fayroe and Miskeneswe islands and between the Norwegian Sea and Vestfjorden.

The Moskstromen vortex has been shown in many documentaries, and even movies, but in a very exaggerated way, and even if it is an area worth visiting, we advise you not to go expecting giant vortices.
