Egypt has an incredible amount of sites and experiences, but the excitement and joy of exploring the world’s oldest civilization and the greatest marvels created by man can sometimes be overshadowed by inconveniences. Simple issues, such as a hotel or Nile cruise not meeting the expected classification or standards, can detract from the overall experience. Although Egypt boasts many hotels, the categorization criteria are often loose and poorly defined, making it challenging for tourists to determine which accommodations best suit their needs. The 4 and 5-star global classifications and criteria are not always strictly adhered to here, leading to discrepancies between expectations and reality. This can result in less satisfactory experiences for travelers who anticipate a certain standard of comfort and service. Whether travelers are seeking budget, luxury, or ultra-luxury experiences, they may find their needs unmet due to these inconsistencies. I have often heard comments like, “Everything was great, but I did not realize there were different levels of 5-star hotels, and I could have stayed at a more luxurious one to enhance my experience.” This guide is designed to address these concerns by providing clear information on the classification of hotels and Nile cruises. It will help you navigate Egypt’s diverse offerings by listing accommodations according to their correct classifications, ensuring a more enjoyable and tailored experience. The guide categorizes hotels and Nile cruises into five distinct groups, offering clarity and ease of choice. I have excluded any hotels below 4 stars from this guide and focus specifically on the official 5-star categories, dividing them into four types: standard, luxury, deluxe, and ultra-luxury. This way, you can make informed decisions and have a more fulfilling stay in Egypt, aligned with your expectations and desires.

Portofino is definitely one of those places you step foot into and ask yourself “how is this place real?” You truly feel like you are in a dream. It is a fishing village in the Italian Riviera and it is known for its charming port, luxury stores, fisherman boats, ad seafood restaurants. It is the combination of these things that make that harbour feel so special. Portofino is much smaller in size than what people might imagine it to be and you can see it all in just a day. It is also quite expensive. It is definitely worth seeing but you don't necessarily need more than a day here, so what I recommend is staying in the town nearby, Santa Margherita, and venture off to Portofino for day trips or in the evenings. There’s a bus that takes you there in just 10 minutes. That being said, here is everything I would do while in Portofino and what I think is actually worth seeing, eating and drinking!

Fascinating places in Rome - a little bit of this, a little bit of that, mixing classics with some unpopular, hidden gems! Where to eat/drink (including a bunch of beautiful rooftops), where to shop (outlets, bespoke & made in Italy - brands you rarely find outside this country) and what to visit around (gorgeous sights included, so be sure to check them out and take lots of pictures). Highlights: 🛵 Vespa - is an Italian luxury brand of scooters and mopeds manufactured by Piaggio. The name means wasp in Italian. An Italian icon since 1946. You’ll see many of these all over the city. 🍕 Roman style Pizza - we encounter "pizza al taglio," which means "by the cut". The scizzas, which are a type of scissors, are used to cut this pizza into square-shaped slices. This helps to maintain the structure of both the toppings and the crust. There is also “pizza bassa”, with a thin base. Roman pizza is practically the opposite to Neapolitan pizza: it is crispy and they are not afraid of toppings. A classic on all menus in Rome is the Capricciosa: topped with ham, mushrooms, olives, artichoke, an egg and tomato. Oil is added to the dough and there is much less water than the Naples version. 🥯 The maritozzo - is a classic sweet pastry, traditionally packed full of whipped cream, which has satisfied Romans for centuries. The dough-based bun is typically eaten in Rome for breakfast but can also be eaten as a hefty snack, or dessert, throughout the day. ☕️ Ristretto - is Italian for "short shots", and that's exactly what this shot of espresso brings to the table. Its main difference is that it takes a shorter extraction time, and uses less water therefore the flavor is rich and bold, and very intense. 🍧 La Grattachecca Romana - a favourite icy drink with fruity flavor; for the Romans, the grattachecca is sacred - strictly prepared by hand in the historical kiosks of the Rioni Trastevere, Testaccio and Prati, in the lively Ponte Milvio area and Trieste and Trionfale districts. Grattachecca derives, in fact, from the action with which the “ghiacciata" (ice) is produced: with a special tool, the ice is scraped off a block, called the "checca" in Roman dialect. 🛍️ When it comes to shopping, Rome can be quite the haven for designer brands, but there is no other fashion house more Roman than Valentino Garavani. The brand’s design (its famous studs) has its origins in the Renaissance architecture of Rome - the “bugnato” technique of the ancient Roman buildings. The largest Valentino store (in the world) lies here, in Rome, on the famous Piazza di Spagna site.

I've spent one month exploring Vietnam so I've put together the perfect 15 days itinerary - with extendable options up to 20 days - including where I stayed (+ alternative options), excursions, restaurants and cafes I tried, all the info you need before traveling, getting around etc Planning a trip to Vietnam can be tough so you can easily replicate my trip and avoid headaches. LOCATIONS IN THIS ITINERARY -Hanoi -Halong bay -Sapa -Ninh Binh -Hoi An BUDGET CATEGORY: Vietnam is a really cheap country in general. You will find budget, mid-range and luxury options (some luxury options are actually affordable) IS VIETNAM FOR ME? Vietnam is for you if you are open to different cultures, you're ok with being uncomfortable and experience new things. This itinerary involves night bus or night train but don't worry. For most of the destinations, if you prefer, you can switch the night bus with a flight or private car. IS VIETNAM SAFE? Absolutely yes. Vietnam is a pretty safe country, like all the countries of South East Asia in general. People are very friendly and they will always try to help you in every way they can. It's actually a very common destination for solo female travelers NB this is not a PDF but an interactive guide which means that when you click on a place in the guide or map, you can directly open directions on your phone's Google Maps app, call restaurants or book hotels.

Marrakesh is a magical city, brimming with vibrant colors and aromas. It embodies a fascinating blend of luxury and opulence, alongside a rough, chaotic charm, as the beautiful city grapples with pollution. Here, ancient crafts coexist with new techniques; you’ll meet people from all over the world who possess incredible stories, talents, and ambitions. Many tourists view Marrakesh merely as a stopover or a weekend destination on their longer Moroccan journey. Moroccans often refer to it as just a tourist town. But a couple of years ago I spent 10 days, right in the central Medina, exploring all that the old historic town has to offer. After my short time there and after poring over the Lonely Planet guide, see below what I learnt. Regardless of your itinerary, here are seven things you won't want to miss on your next trip to Marrakesh.
