Itinerary
Day 0: Arrival Day – Asmara
- We will take a late evening flight on 15th November from Dubai to Asmara. Once we arrive, we’ll rest for the night and start early the next day with our expedition.
- Overnight in Asmara
Day 1: Asmara
- We start our expedition with a city tour of Asmara, the Eritrean capital—a city that seems frozen in time. Often called "Piccola Roma" (Little Rome), it holds a remarkable collection of Art Deco architecture, including the Roman Catholic Cathedral, St. Mary Coptic Church, Al Khulafa Al Rashedin Mosque, various markets (vegetable, spice, souvenir, Medeber), the National Museum, and the iconic Fiat Tagliero building, among others.
- Overnight in Asmara
Day 2: Massawa
- After breakfast, we’ll take a scenic drive downhill along the Ghinda road towards the port city of Massawa. The route passes through the lush “Green Belt” area, known for its beautiful landscapes and unique flora and fauna.
- In the afternoon, we’ll explore Massawa—often referred to as the “City of Islands” and the “Pearl of the Red Sea.” This historic port city features Turkish-style architecture and charming old shopping arcades.
- Overnight in Massawa
Day 3: Massawa & Asmara
- After breakfast, we’ll visit Green Island in the Red Sea. Then, after lunch, we’ll return to Asmara. In the afternoon or evening, we’ll have a final walk around the capital before heading to the airport.
- We will fly out late at night to Dubai or Cairo (for those continuing to our Ethiopia expedition).

Absolutely unforgettable. Traveling through Central America was so much more than a trip. It was an experience built around connection and shared adventure. From volcano hikes to pyramid sunrises, every destination was stunning, but what truly made it special was the group I shared it with. I’ve come home with a head full of memories, several crazy stories, and a few friends for life.
The best introduction to this part of the world. West Africa is sometimes called "Africa for beginners". I can see it. Mostly laid back, beautiful coast, incredible sightseeing and smiley locals. Add in the mix the Vodun culture, the colourful dances and thrilling rituals and you have an adventure to remember. Benin has quickly rose to being one of my favourite countries and the expedition family some of my favourite people.
History, history, history! Wow, is all I can say. Libya's recent history has created an isolation from tourism, and made this a relatively untouched Mediterranean gem. The Roman and Phoenician ruins are just mind-blowing. The trip out to the Algerian-Libyan border of The Sahara Desert is long, but well worth it to see Ghadames. Definitely say, "Yes"!
What a hilarious group of explorers who made the long drives fun! The guys were great dancers,too, when faced with rejection by the local females at the bar/dance hall, they had no problem dancing with themselves! Music, song and "car dancing" kept the mood going the whole time. Views were outstanding in The Pamir region.
I really cherish the people I met on my 1st "YES", I said to Afghanistan. It was a small group of very empathetic and adventurous people. We were all nervous at first, until we settled into the pace of our Expedition led by Elena. The people, the lead, the guide and drivers, and the shop keepers were so welcoming and professional. Kindest and most generous people I've met in recent years. I highly recommend everyone visit Afghanistan.
Such a beautiful place with very beautiful people. Patagonia is a very unique and must see place. The crew is what makes it happen.
