Venice, Italy

When it comes to Venice, pictures speak louder than words. Approaching the floating city, which is concocted from spires and cupolas, you discover a majestic place, undoubtedly the most romantic city in the world. Stroll along the cobblestone alleys that reveal the wonderful architectural gems, enjoy a hot mix of espresso, step out into the palatial arcades and St. Mark's Square or choose a romantic gondola ride. The lagoon, consisting more or less of 118 islands connected with bridges and canals, will steal your heart away. Time provided, you can visit nearby islands Burano, the coloured island of lace and Murano, famous for its fancy glasswares.

Port Said, Egypt

Port Said is a port on the Egyptian Mediterranean coast. The city was founded in 1859 and has since grown tremendously with fortified influence from the French, the English and locals

A walk in Corniche will reveal to you the maritime dominance and power of the city. While the 19th century consulates and mansions that adorn the entrance to the mighty Suez Canal will leave you with no choice but to stop and admire the noise, activity and sounds around you. At the same time, the historic centre invites you to the roar of local shops and vendors in the open-air bazaar where modern boutiques spring up next to the old shops. The National Military Museum gives an in-depth picture of the canal's history as the sandy beaches adorned with umbrellas and sunbeds seem to be worlds away from the relentless commercial movement in the sea.
Port Said is constantly evolving but its heart remains faithful to its naval present and past.
