P&O Arcadia Southampton to Dubai 21nts

Begin in Southampton, end in Dubai and visit 5 enticing destinations along the way. After Arcadia sets sail, your first call is Barcelona. Visit Gaudi’s iconic Sagrada Familia and enjoy the bustle along Las Ramblas. Athens, next, is a blend of ancient culture and modern life - people-watch in the Plaka or head to the Acropolis.

From Port Said, you can spend a full day and evening exploring the mosques, palaces and bazaars of Cairo. And, of course, no visit would be complete without journeying to see the magnificent Pyramids of Giza. After a mesmerising journey through the Suez Canal you reach Aqaba, for tours to Petra; the ‘Rose Red City’ that’s half as old as time. Make your dramatic entrance by walking through the Siq (gorge) up to the imposing Treasury with its exquisite façade.

From here, there’s a full day and evening to be enjoyed in Safaga from where you can visit Luxor and the Valley of the Kings or head to the Egyptian beach resort of Hurghada – with clear waters rated among the world's best sites for diving. Fly home from Dubai, home to the world’s tallest building, the 828 metre high Burj Khalifa.
