small group adventures 73 ITVRN Vietnam Discovery 15 days, ex Ho Chi Minh City This is a no frills trip that ticks off pretty much all the places you will want to see in Vietnam but is very inexpensive. It is one of Imaginative Travellers Basic journeys and allows more flexibility but less inclusions. Visit Hanoi and Saigon; Explore the Mekong Delta and Halong Bay; Visit imperial Hue and charming Hoi An; Cruise the islands of Nha Trang and relax at South China Sea beaches. GTBU Best of Burma The Imaginative Traveller product manager who spent a month cycling through Burma last year, urges you to go now. It is just the most magical destination with only a handful of other tourists but all that is changing with the lifting of the tourist embargo. Bagan is one of the most incredible places she had ever seen and if you step away from the main temples, you have it completely to yourself. The whole country is breath-taking. View the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon; Follow Buddhist pilgrims to the summit of Golden Rock; Visit the giant stupa and Buddha at Pegu; Take the train to Mandalay; Cruise the Irrawaddy River to the incredible temples of Bagan; Meet the famous leg-rowing fishermen of Inle Lake. 15 days, ex Rangoon EAXW A week in Jordan If you only have a week, you can pack in all of Jordan's highlights on this short but sweet trip.You have two days to explore Petra, a 4WD jeep trip into the desert around Wadi Rum, the chance to float on the buoyant waters of the Dead Sea and a night to relax on the Red Sea port of Aqaba where the sun sets to the sound of the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer. Also visit the biblical site at Mt Nebo, Kerak crusader castle and Roman Jerash. 9 days, ex Amman IXESI Discover Egypt If we had to pick just one trip in Egypt, it would be this one. The homestay gives an insight into the way of life of the Nubian people, the night on the felucca is pure magic, and the Red Sea camp gives you a taste of Bedouin life without the mass tourism elsewhere in the Sinai. There are times when you will not get your creature comforts but if you are happy with this, the rewards are immense. Take a felucca cruise along the Nile from Aswan to Luxor; Climb Mt Sinai and visit St Catherine's Monastery; Relax at a beachside camp on the Red Sea; Experience the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and all the highlights of Cairo. 15 days, ex Cairo EAMH Highlights of Morocco We love this trip because it offers the chance to combine two of North Africa's most enticing cities (Fes and Marrakech) with some of Morocco's most spellbinding landscapes. The Sahara really shows its splendour at Erg Chebbi where the huge dunes are best explored on camel and the vast night sky is revealed after the sun sets on your desert camp. Todra Gorge is similarly spectacular, the lush green of the palmeries contrasting with the craggy rocks of the gorge; Explore the imperial Rabat and Meknes; Take a walk on the wild side in the High Atlas, the Todra Gorge and the Sahara Desert; Relax in the Portuguese fishing port of Essaouira. 15 days, ex Casablanca PETT Treasures of Turkey 15 days, ex Istanbul Imagine sailing through the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, stopping in tiny inlets to swim and in small villages hewn from stone, with pink bouganvillea cascading over the walls. This is just one of the highlights on this comprehensive tour of Turkey. Explore the bustling valleys of Istanbul; Wander the eerie landscapes of Cappadocia; Tour the amazing sites at Ephesus, Troy and Gallipoli; Soak in the dazzling limestone pools at Pamukkale; Cruise and swim on the idyllic Turquoise Coast.
