The places you'll go

Piraeus (Athens)
Bright blue skies, sand-fringed shores, and a bustling street art scene — few places are as colorful as this ever-evolving city.

Santorini
From the hills of Oia to the Caldera coast, this island is known for its fiery, orange and pick sunsets and postcard-worthy beaches.

Rhodes
Where the Byzantine Empire meets modern cultural ingenuity — this gorgeous island truly is hot spot for artists and artist-lovers alike.

Port Said (Cairo)
Whether you prefer sailing the Nile on a felucca or a flashing party boat, exploring the pyramids, or hitting a smoke-filled shisha bar, Cairo is always an adventure.

Safaga
Washed by the Red Sea's mineral-rich waters, Safaga is a watersports haunt and a spa lover's paradise with its black sand therapies aside.

Dubai
Set on the Persian Gulf coast and about an hour away from Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates' capital, Dubai is known for its posh lifestyle, skyscrapers and nightlife.
