When I was just four years old myself and my family moved to Cyprus, during which time we were lucky enough to explore the small yet historical island. I feel as though this experience, albeit subliminally, awoke in me a curiosity to travel the world and understand different cultures. I am a keen linguist and studied both Spanish and Arabic at university as well as living in both Spain and Egypt for a combined total of seven years.

Jordan

Jordan is a must for families. With a perfect blend of outdoor camping, magical Petra moments and floating in the Dead Sea, there is something for everyone in this exotic yet accessible country.

Classic Egypt

My favourite part of this trip is the Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan, where you cruise down the river in absolute luxury stopping off at all the 4000-year-old Pharaonic temples.

The Old Cataract, Aswan

This grand, restored palace welcomes you to step back in time with its mix of traditional and opulent decor. The French and Egyptian influences are obvious throughout.

They both were so great in helping us think through the itinerary for the trip, making adjustments, and even helping out on a few things during the trip that needed addressing.

This was my first time using a travel agent, I was anxious about putting an important trip into someone else’s hands. I shouldn’t have been at all. From the start, I felt heard and understood. If I thought the budget crept too high, they worked with me to get to a more comfortable place. When I was adamant about staying…
