Elephant Rock in AlUla

Al Wajh - Saudi Arabia

Perched along the coast of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia’s Tabuk Province, Al Wajh is an atmospheric city oozing a laidback ambiance. Its UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town, Al Balad, is a hidden gem where Hijazi-style architecture and Red Sea coral buildings adorn the quiet streets, and colourful balconies and ornate doors present fascinating photo opportunities. Climb to the top of the Ottoman castle for spectacular views over the port, walk through the old fishing village, stopping off for some fresh seafood, and relax on the white sandy beaches, the perfect place for sun-dwellers to sit back and soak up the beautiful weather. Just a short drive away, the magnificent city of AlUla is one of the oldest on the Arabian Peninsula. Often referred to as The World’s Masterpiece, discover preserved tombs, dramatic rock formations, sand dunes and lush valleys, as well as local artisans exemplifying craftwork that has been in existence for centuries.

Duba

Duba - Saudi Arabia

Affectionately referred to by locals as the ‘Pearl of the Red Sea’, Duba is a small port city in the Tabuk region and is the nearest Saudi Arabian port to the Suez Canal. It may be one of the region’s smaller cities, but this undiscovered treasure is bursting with history, harbourside seafood restaurants and picturesque beaches. The historic King Abdulaziz Fort is Duba’s main attraction. Built in 1933 CE during King Abdulaziz’s reign, the fort acted as the ruling centre of the city and is proudly perched right on the seafront overlooking the port. Experience the buzz of a traditional Arabian fish market at Duba Fish Market, before heading to one of the city’s many sun-kissed beaches for a swim or to try your hand at snorkelling or diving. The beautiful Southern Duba Corniche is a particular hotspot.

Jeddah

Jeddah - Saudi Arabia

On the western shores of the Red Sea, Jeddah is a gateway for pilgrimages to the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Ancient mosques and towering modern skyscrapers now exist side-by-side here, believed also to be the final resting place of ‘the mother of humanity’, Eve. Today, the city is a commercial hub with a cosmopolitan and forward-thinking approach. Visit Jeddah Corniche with its surrounding hotels and beaches, swim the pristine coral reefs, shop for souvenirs at a bustling souq and taste fresh Middle Eastern cuisine with a spectacular view of the seafront. Step back in time on a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Al Balad district, dating back to the 7th century. Retaining its traditional charm, Al Balad is home to the city's oldest mosque, Masjid Shaffie, and the old pilgrimage road, also known as Al Dahab Street, where you can haggle with street vendors for their wares.

Voulismeni Lake, Agios Nikolaos

Agios Nikolaos, Crete – Greece

Nestled in an enviable location on a sprawling hillside beside the Gulf of Mirabello, the laidback town of Agios Nikolaos is a picturesque coastal port with a quaint small town feel and a rich history. Situated on Crete’s north-east coast, the town is partially built on the ruins of the ancient city of Lato pros Kamara. The town’s most treasured gem is Voulismeni Lake, a cobalt blue lagoon steeped in Greek mythology. As legend has it, the goddesses Athena and Artemis bathed in its waters. By day, relax lakeside in one of the many cafés and, as night falls, watch as the lake comes to life with locals and tourists alike enjoying the many lively bars and traditional tavernas. Many of Crete’s most beautiful beaches are found a stone’s throw from Agios Nikolaos, including the white sands and turquoise waters of Voulisma Beach, as well as olive farms and typically Greek rural villages just asking to be explored.
