MARVELS OF THE WORLD

WONDERS OF THE WORLD

 Great Pyramid of Giza

The only remaining Ancient Wonder from the original list, the Egyptian pyramid dates back nearly 5,000 years. Venture inside one of the Royal Burial Chambers and see the funerary boat of Cheops. View the Great Sphinx of Giza - a monumental statue carved from a single block of stone. The Great Pyramid is the largest of the three pyramids in Giza.

Machu Picchu 

A physical, cultural and spiritual journey through the Andes Mountains in Peru, Machu Picchu challenges you to trek through nine different biozones, changing altitudes and varied terrain. Be inspired by the majesty of your surroundings and the knowledge that you are following in the footsteps of the ancient Incas. Mysterious and mystical, new discoveries are still being uncovered to this day.

 Timbuktu

Timbuktu, a mysterious city in the West African nation of Mali near the Niger River and the Sahara Desert was a flourishing trading route for salt, gold, ivory and slaves. Today, the Great Mosque known as the Djinguereber Mosque is an important place for gathering and prayer as an intellectual and spiritual capital of Islam.

 Northern Lights

The Aurora Borealis, a natural light display caused by the Earth’s magnetic field is a truly magical wonder of nature. Visible near the Arctic and Antarctic equinoxes, the sheer beauty can only be described as meteorological phenomena as the sky is lit up in a prism of colors.

Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan (and 20,000 workers) to honor the memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaj Mahal. The perfectly symmetrical edifice is set amidst landscaped gardens on the banks of the Yamuna River. Its marble exterior reflects rose and golden tints at sunrise and sunset, while it is dazzling white during the day.
