My suffix was worshipped back when
Ra - the ancient Egyptian sun god
My middle you’ll find
Is deep in your mind
Me
Together I show where you’ve been

Interesting, that was the bit I was most confident about. I have another idea for what the answer should be. Is it to do with time rather than space? – hexomino May 01 '18 at 15:58

2@AlanHoover: Seeing the corrected version: That may be a common destination for Americans, but not for most of us in the rest of the world. – celtschk May 01 '18 at 17:26
