Egypt
This is going to be big, in every sense of the word. In 2023 – exact date so far unconfirmed – Cairo will unveil its newest attraction, the Grand Egyptian Museum. Set to become the largest archaeological museum in the world, built on a site the size of about 70 football fields just near the Great Pyramids of Giza. The museum will house more than 18,000 ancient artefacts, including the full tomb collection of Tutankhamun, and the Khufu ship, an intact, full-sized vessel built around 2500 BC.
Of course, there are many other reasons to visit Egypt, including visiting some of the main attractions, Great Pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, Karnak, and of course Islamic Cairo and its many sights.
Laos
Anyone who has visited Laos in the past would know well its laidback charms, from the deeply cultural beauty of Luang Prabang to the adventure capital of Vang Vieng to the youthful energy of Vientiane.
In the past it has taken much time to explore amazing Laos and its undulating country and winding roads. In 2021 Laos welcomed the opening of the Boten-Vientiane railway, a high-speed rail link between the nation’s capital and its northern border. The train calls through tourist favourites such as Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang and Muang Xay, and has totally changed the game for independent travellers hoping to see the country quickly and comfortably.
Make sure to consider the following on your Loas Journey, there’s a lot to see, the towering peaks of Vang Vieng, UNESCO-listed Luang Prabang with its French-colonial heritage, the Plain of Jars, a megalithic archaeological site, can be found in the Xiangkhoang Plateau, a once in a lifetime overnight Gibbon Experience in Bokeo Province and join one of the Gibbon Experience’s overnight treks.

With so much to offer travellers, such as Barcelona and the Balearic Islands, Spain remains surprisingly underrated.
With amazing food, amazing restaurants, and tapas and pintxos dining has to be one of life’s great pleasures.
Also full of culture, with regular festivals in places such as Seville, Granada, Valencia and Pamplona.
You have Roman ruins in Spain, world-class art galleries, and landscapes ranging from beaches to mountains to vast plains. So much to see and do and well worth adding it Spain to your travel destinations.
Bhutan
Historically a pilgrimage route, the fully restored Trans Bhutan Trail has reopened to visitors. The epic 403km scenic hiking path will offer visitors a unique perspective from its far western border to its far east, taking in Himalayan splendour and rich local culture throughout the journey. No doubt likely to become one of the world’s most iconic cross-country walks. It’s important to note that the route can be tackled in smaller portions.

Whether you prefer luxurious escapes, adventurous destinations, or culturally rich areas, the options are endless.
