RTW trips are still very popular among travelers. Many destinations in Asia and South America are very affordable and can be easily tackled on long vacations. But before you look for world airfare you should make a list of the places you want to visit.
Very interesting round the world trip destinations include Egypt, Bali, Argentina, Peru, India, New Zealand and China.
You can plan to fly to Egypt and visit the Great Pyramids of Giza. They really do live up to their name. Thanks to the way most of the photos are taken, you’ll assume that are located well out into a barren desert, but they are just at the edge of the city of Giza, across the Nile from Cairo.
From Egypt you can hop on a flight to India. Undoubtedly, Taj Mahal is a must-see place in the vast country. It’s located in Agra, just south of Delhi. And while you are here, don’t miss the Red Fort in Delhi either. The holy village of Pushkar is also very popular among backpackers.
From here you can fly to China. A stop in Beijing is exactly what you need to be able to explore the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City. Just make sure to book one of the hotels in China before you arrive in the country.
The Badaling section of the Great Wall is closest to Beijing (about 70 km or so) but it is also the most crowded. Still, it offers breathtaking views of the area. You can, however, plan to visit remote parts of the wall but you surely need to talk to locals to make that happen. For example, the Mutianyu section gets fewer visitors although it’s not very far from Beijing either.
Needless to say that no RTW trip is complete without experiencing the exciting cuisine each country has to offer.
