in the peaceful mountain kingdom of Bhutan, we find ourselves immersed in a living culture where ancient customs remain woven into everyday life.

Folks inelaborate masks whirl and dance to the rhythm of drums and cymbals, dressed in their finest traditional clothing gather to celebrate traditions that have been passed down through generations.

Moments like these can't be captured in a photograph. They can only be experienced.

Egypt & Jordan 2027: A Journey Through Ancient Wonders and Desert Magic

1st April - 26th April 2027

25 Days of Ancient Wonders, Desert Magic, Soul-Stirring Sunrises, Deep Blue Seas and Lifelong Memories!!

I'm also incredibly excited to share that I'm collaborating with on this adventure.

Penny is creating this itinerary after travelling extensively throughout Egypt many times and leading other women-led tours in the region. She has built amazing local connections, knows all the hidden gems, and has the experience to ensure we see the very best of Egypt and Jordan.

I'm so excited to be partnering with her as we bring this incredible new destination to our community.

Have you ever dreamed of standing before the Pyramids, sailing the Nile like the explorers of old, wandering through rose-coloured ancient cities, sleeping beneath a blanket of stars in the desert, and sharing unforgettable moments with a beautiful group of like-minded travellers?

In April 2027, we're embarking on what promises to be another extraordinary journey we've created.

Our adventure begins in Egypt, where we'll explore the treasures of Cairo, stand in awe before the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx, and discover the fascinating stories of one of the world's oldest civilizations.

From there, we'll travel south to Aswan and board our beautiful traditional Dahabiya for a leisurely sail along the timeless Nile. Unlike the large cruise ships, our smaller vessel allows us to experience Egypt at a slower pace, drifting past palm-lined riverbanks, ancient temples, colourful villages and landscapes that have changed little for thousands of years.

We'll explore magnificent temples, discover the wonders of Luxor, and experience the magic that makes Egypt unlike anywhere else on earth.

Then comes one of the most memorable chapters of our journey...
The Sinai Peninsula.

We'll spend time in the laid-back seaside town of Dahab, snorkel the famous Blue Hole, ride quad bikes through the desert, visit a traditional Bedouin village and share dinner beneath the desert sky.

For those seeking something truly special, we'll take an overnight hike up Mount Sinai, reaching the summit in time to watch the sunrise paint the surrounding mountains in shades of gold and pink. It's one of those moments that stays with you forever says Penny 👏

Crossing into Jordan, the adventure continues.

We'll journey into the breathtaking landscapes of Wadi Rum, often called the Valley of the Moon. Here we'll embark on a magical 4WD desert safari, winding through towering sandstone cliffs, dramatic canyons and endless red dunes that inspired the stories of Lawrence of Arabia.

As the sun sets, we'll arrive at our unique UFO-style desert camp, where a traditional Bedouin feast awaits. The evening will be spent under one of the clearest night skies on Earth, surrounded by silence, stars and the beauty of the desert.

Then comes Petra.
One of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Walking through the narrow Siq and catching your first glimpse of the Treasury is an experience that simply can't be described—it has to be felt.

We'll have time to explore the ancient city beyond the famous façade, wander hidden pathways, climb to the spectacular Monastery, visit the High Place of Sacrifice, and experience the magic of Petra by Candlelight as thousands of flickering candles illuminate this ancient wonder.

Our Jordanian experience also includes sharing lunch with a local family, learning to cook delicious traditional dishes during a hands-on cooking class, and gaining a deeper understanding of the country's warm hospitality and culture.

We'll float effortlessly in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, enjoy time to relax and soak in the healing atmosphere, then continue to the beautiful city of Madaba, famous for its incredible ancient mosaics.

Our journey finishes in Amman and the fascinating Desert Castles, including:
🇯🇴Qasr Amra, renowned for its remarkable frescoes 🇯🇴Qasr Al-Azraq, the black basalt fortress of Lawrence of Arabia 🇯🇴Qasr Al-Kharanah, a mysterious desert palace rising from the sands.

This is not simply a holiday.

It's a journey through thousands of years of history.

A chance to stand where pharaohs, prophets, traders and explorers once walked.
A chance to connect with incredible cultures, breathtaking landscapes, new friendships and perhaps even parts of yourself that have been waiting to be discovered.

If Egypt and Jordan have ever been on your bucket list, this is your invitation.

April 2027.
25 unforgettable days.

What is it about Egypt that's quietly been calling you ???

**Is it the majestic Pyramids of Giza or Saqqara Plateau ?

**Is it the dream come true as you sail down The Nile River on a luxury boat, with only 12 to 16 people onboard...no mass crowds here.

**Maybe its heading out to explore the desert magic, what mysteries does she hold.
Feeling the vastness and the stillness as you gaze at the stars above. And to top it off, having the Bedouins cook you a mouth watering meal over a camp fire ~ This is bliss, this is the simplicity of life and how we could be living ~ lets do it , feel it and experience all the desert has to offer.

**Are Temples your thing ? Well we visit the best of the best, think Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple and Habu (my fav )and much more. Oh yes I love Esna, the colours are beautiful.

**Is the Red Sea on your radar, I love the Red Sea South Sinai Dahab.

**And of course we love the kitty cats and dogs.

Discover Dendera: Egypt’s Hidden Gem

Yes we visit here on our journey in November 2025

Tucked along the west bank of the Nile, just north of Luxor, the Dendera Temple Complex is one of Egypt’s most enchanting and well-preserved archaeological sites—yet still flies under the radar for many travelers. At its center is the breathtaking Temple of Hathor, an architectural masterpiece that offers an intimate glimpse into the spiritual life of ancient Egypt.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by soaring columns, intricate carvings, and remarkably preserved color that still clings to the walls and ceilings after two millennia. Don’t miss the astronomical ceiling—a stunning depiction of the heavens featuring zodiac signs and constellations, revealing the deep cosmic knowledge held by ancient Egyptian priests.

Venture deeper into the complex and you’ll find subterranean crypts and sacred chambers, once used for mysterious rituals and ceremonies. The vivid reliefs throughout the temple depict scenes of gods, pharaohs, and mythological events, making every corner of Dendera a storybook carved in stone.

Dendera flourished during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, and the temple reflects this fascinating cultural blend. Still dedicated to Hathor—the goddess of love, music, joy, and fertility—it remained a vital religious center even as Egypt evolved under foreign rule.

For travelers seeking a deeper, quieter connection to ancient Egypt beyond the crowds of more famous sites, Dendera offers a peaceful yet powerful journey through history and mythology.
