HIGHLIGHTS Fes - Marrakech - Sahara - High Atlas

Morocco is considered one of the most romantic countries in the world. It boasts a heady mix of European, African, Moslem and Berber cultures along with legendary cities, ancient mud-brick kasbahs, rolling sand dunes, snow-capped mountains and an extensive and largely undeveloped coastline. It is so colourful that first-time visitors might be excused for thinking they have walked into the middle of a Hollywood movie set.

Indeed, Morocco has long been a favoured location for the film industry, due in part to an accommodating local bureaucracy. As we travel through this amazing country we are hit with an overwhelming sense of unreality. Is it really possible that a place can be both so exotic and so improbably picturesque? This, then, is the secret of Morocco, a destination that bombards the senses as we take the backroads from Casablanca to Marrakech.

From Casablanca we travel by train to Meknes, to explore the beautiful old medina. A little further on we reach Fes, where time seems to have overlooked the ancient streets and alleyways of the old quarter. We spend two days here, immersing ourselves in this splendid medieval city, and then travel south to explore the great sand dunes on the western edge of the Sahara.

A dramatic change of landscape finds us in Todra Gorge and nearby we explore the picturesque Dades Valley. We then travel along the fabled 'road of 1000 kasbahs', visiting an amazing family home at Skoura and the outstanding mud-brick town of Ait Benhaddou. Our final destination is Marrakech, where we spend our last evening in the great square - Jemaa el Fna - the heart and soul of this fine old city.

HIGHLIGHTS Abu Simbel - Aswan - Luxor - Mt Sinai - Red Sea

This great itinerary features the best of Egypt, visiting the Nile Valley and the fabulous Temple of Rames II at Abu Simbel, before heading into the Sinai peninsula to experience the raw beauty of the region. The Nile is Egypt's lifeline, a fertile green ribbon that brings life to the desert and supports an ever-burgeoning population. Since ancient times it has transported people and their goods on a lively assortment of ships, boats and barges.

These days the boats are carrying a different cargo, with many travellers enjoying a riverboat cruise between Aswan and Luxor. It's a great way to observe everyday life in the Nile Valley, and also allows the opportunity to explore the ancient temples at Komombo and Edfu. Our Nile riverboat offers a comfortable on-board atmosphere, with air-conditioned cabins - each with their own private shower and toilet.

In addition there is a pleasant restaurant, where all meals are served, and a rooftop bar. The spacious top deck is ideal for sunbathing and relaxing, with great views of the river. The Sinai is a place of awesome beauty with jagged mountains framed by rugged beaches, lapped by the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Aqaba.

We explore the southern end of the peninsula, ascending Mt. Sinai at dawn, before heading to Dahab, a laid-back traveller's haunt, where we have a couple of days of R&R.

HIGHLIGHTS Fes - Marrakech - Sahara - Essaouira

Often described as a 'feast for the senses' there are times when you feel the Moroccan landscape has come straight out of 'Arabian Nights'. There are fabulous mud-brick kasbahs to explore, wonderful old towns and cities, rolling sand dunes, snow-capped mountains and an extensive and largely undeveloped coastline.

Every day brings new surprises as we discover this vast country. We experience the land and its people in their many different guises as we travel from the desert to the mountains and finally to the picturesque Portuguese fishing town of Essaouira.

HIGHLIGHTS Western Desert - Sinai Peninsula - Aswan - Nile - Abu Simbel - Mount Sinai - Gulf of Aqaba

Beyond the Nile Valley there is still much to see. On this comprehensive trip to Egypt we travel through the heart of the Western Desert, a vast, isolated expanse covering a total of some 2.8 million square kilometres, visiting the various Oasis towns on our route. We explore this untamed wilderness in the company of our Bedouin companions, enjoying a memorable insight into their traditions and experiencing their amazing hospitality.

In between, we meet up with our Nubian friends, based in Aswan. Taller and darker than their northern Egyptian 'brothers' they are a genuinely friendly race of people, with a great sense of humour and a rhythmic musical tradition which smacks more of Africa than it does of the Middle East.

We join them for four days as we sail down the Nile on their traditional felucca sailboats - but before we do this we make a side-trip to the fabulous temples at Abu Simbel. We also visit the wild and barren mountains of the Sinai, ascending Mt. Sinai and enjoying the warm waters of the Gulf of Aqaba.

HIGHLIGHTS Saigon - Mekong Delta - Cu Chi Tunnels - Sapa - Dalat - Nha Trang - Hoi An - Hai Van Pass - Hue - Hanoi - Halong Bay

A short drive north, over the spectacular Hai Van Pass, brings you to a city that's steeped in history and culture, the former Imperial capital, Hue. Another overnight train journey delivers you to the charming present-day capital of Hanoi in North Vietnam. Discover this graceful old city before setting out to cruise amongst the towering limestone karsts of awe-inspiring Halong Bay.

Last, but definitely not least, you'll trek through the breathtakingly beautiful mountain scenery around the northern hill tribe minority town of Sapa, and spend the night in a village longhouse. Definitely one of the great Vietnam tours.

Cairo is a city that pulsates with a daytime population of over 20 million people.
