SAUDI ARABIA AlUla, a destination steeped in 200,000 years of history, started to welcome tour visitors at the end of 2019. It’s also an adventurers dream, offering private helicopter tours over rock formations, zip-lining and jeep safaris over sand-swept dunes and tours of ancient dwellings. wildfrontierstravel.com
peru Take the path less travelled by passing through the Urubamba Valley – the Sacred Valley of the Incas – and the remote trails of the Lares region, to meet traditional farmers and their herds of alpacas. Travellers will hike from one mountain lodge to another, before culminating in an early morning visit to the citadel of Machu Picchu. rainbowtours.co.uk
AUSTRALIA Rise early to experience the ethereal Field of Light art installation at an exclusive sunrise viewing platform in the Australian Outback. Watch the desert awaken as the rising sun lights up Uluru. Gain insights into the culture, history, art and traditions of the Aboriginal caretakers of the land on a tour of the base of Uluru and walk deep into Walpa Gorge. Finish the day with a sunset over the rusty red domes of Kata Tjuta. trafalgar.com
