Top Trips for Seeing Wonders of the World

The only way to beat island-hopping around Greece is to get your first look at the Aegean Sea from the Acropolis. Take in the views of, and beyond, this ancient Greek archaeological complex and marvel at the pentelic marble temples. Drink the night away before setting sail towards Milos, Naxos and Santorini. Pristine beaches, amazing seafood and sunset panoramas may be commonplace in these parts, but they are no less wonderful.

The Great Pyramids of Giza are breathtaking to look at on screen; imagine how gobsmacked you’ll be when you see them in real life. Now multiply that feeling by 100 and you’ll understand the state of constant wonder this 10-day Egypt tour provides. The Temple of Kom Ombo, the Valley of the Kings and the Luxor Temple are just a handful of amazing sites you’ll visit as you cruise down the Nile on a luxury liner.

Petra may be one of the more recently recognised wonders of the world, but it’s no less ancient than its counterparts. This nine-day tour will have you feeling like a VIP as you skip the crowds and enter the pink Nabataean city through the Wadi Ghurab mountains. Tip your hat to the coiled stone serpent that guards the 2,000-year-old site; you’ll want good favour on your side as you set up camp for the night at the base of Mount Haron.
