Let Egyptologists fill in the missing pieces at Luxor Temple, built with prolific pharaoh patronage. Sail high over the Valley of Kings on a private hot air balloon and go underground to unlock the mystery at Tutankhamun’s tomb. Pay respect to the only woman Pharaoh and salute Egypt’s most considerable, Colossi of Memnon.

Day 3 - El Sokhna

Arrive: Sat 20 March 2027 at 07:00 / Depart: Sat 20 March 2027 at 21:00

Egypt is not shy of national treasures. While away your time in acres of nature that make Sokhna a salty playground. Explore an underwater world of reefs and petrified forestry, amble through Red Sea monasteries, and heal body and soul in sulfur springs. Yet no visit is complete without a trip to the immortal greats. Set off for the eternal talent at the Pharaohs’ stomping ground. Cast Egyptologist eyes and perhaps a camera on the almighty Pyramids, Valley Temple and Great Sphinx. With a backdrop of mountains and turmeric-hued beaches, unique nature rubs shoulders with one of the Seven Wonders.

Arrive: Wed 24 March 2027 at 09:00 / Depart: Wed 24 March 2027 at 19:00

Walk in Cleopatra’s steps as you journey through fields bursting with cotton, olives and peaches until the hills broaden, to reveal the magnificent Roman ruins of Ephesus. Dedicated to Artemis, visit monuments, shrines, columns and ruins, where Popes pray and pilgrims drink holy water. Immerse yourself totally in this ancient place of worship; wish for good health and meditate in the sacred thermal pools of Pamukkale. Travel out to Orthodox villages combining Turkish-Greek culture and feast on organic filo, feta and spinach. Study Turkish weavings, natural dyes and textiles; see looms in action, knotting carpets and kilims. Steeped in history and with terrain as diverse as the culture, it won’t just be the traditional Turkish coffee that makes you sit up straight.

Day 8 - Athens

Arrive: Thu 25 March 2027 at 07:00 / Depart: Thu 25 March 2027
