The view of white-washed wall and the blue-domed churches with the Aegean sea as the backdrop is so unique that anyone who sees the picture of Santorini for the first time cannot believe such a place does exist in this world.
Ionian Islands is the homeland of Homer's hero Odysseus. Iliad and Odyssey is the inspiration behind many Corfu's attractions.
The main attraction of Corfu Island is its Old Town. Influenced by different European styles, the maze-like streets are packed with shops and visitors in the summer time.
We took three continuous flights from Luxor to get Corfu Island only to be welcomed by a rainy day.
Luxor was the ancient city of Thebe. Its glorious past has not only been inspiring people around the world till today, but also making fortunes for countless robbers in its 3000-year history.
Originally, we almost decided not to go to Abu Simbel, but eventually, we changed our plan. How could we come so close to Egypt without seeing the place that often make to the list of "things to do before you die"?
From Karnak to Temple of Horus and Kom Ombo, every bit of broken walls or fallen obelisk can be associated to some legendary myth, figure or event of the past. This is history!
We watched the stars quietly rising and setting over the horizon during the night, and felt fascinated waking up among the bizarre-looking rocks in the morning.
4-hour drive from Cairo to Bahariya followed by another 2-hour drive in the desert, the White Desert trip is the highlight of our entire journey.
