The Giza Pyramids – Eternal Symbols of Ancient Egypt
The Pyramids of Giza stand as timeless monuments to ancient Egypt’s engineering, religion, and royal power. Located on the western edge of modern-day Giza, a bustling city now integrated into Greater Cairo, these ancient structures rest on the edge of the Sahara Desert, rising dramatically above the fertile Nile Valley below.
Together with the Great Sphinx, nearby tombs, temples, and subsidiary pyramids, the Giza Plateau forms one of the most iconic and historically significant archaeological sites in the world. It is a place where millennia-old stone speaks of forgotten kings, celestial alignments, and architectural ambition on a scale the world had never seen before.

Cairo – A Metropolis Between Past and Present
Cairo, the capital of Egypt, lies along the banks of the Nile and is home to more than 20 million people. As the political, economic, and cultural heart of the country, it’s a vibrant melting pot where Islamic, Coptic Christian, and modern influences blend seamlessly. In the narrow streets of the old city, you’ll find medieval mosques, traditional markets, and historic buildings, while districts like Zamalek or Heliopolis showcase modern living and commercial centers.

2024 Australia – October – Binna Burra in Lamington National Park
Binna Burra: Where Rainforest Meets the Rim of the World
High in Queensland’s Scenic Rim, on the edge of a vast, ancient caldera, lies Binna Burra — a place where towering trees, misty valleys, and deep time come together. Bordering the western edge of Lamington National Park, Binna Burra is one of Australia’s most storied eco-retreats, perched on a ridge that looks out across layers of subtropical rainforest and volcanic escarpments.
Just 90 minutes from Brisbane or the Gold Coast, Binna Burra offers much more than a mountain getaway — it’s a gateway to Gondwana, to Aboriginal heritage, and to the heart of one of the most biodiverse regions in the country.

Bundeena: A Seaside Escape at the Edge of the Royal National Park

With its calm beaches, bush-fringed coves, coastal trails, and small-town charm, Bundeena is one of New South Wales‘ best-kept secrets — a place where time slows down and nature takes centre stage.
Only an hour’s drive from central Sydney (or a short ferry ride from Cronulla), Bundeena is the kind of place where weekends stretch longer, walks turn into wanderings, and local art and nature exist side by side.
