Local travel company Travista’s next New Year’s destination just so happens to be the perfect site to get a few extra hours of surfing into what’s left of 2022. Barcelona 8 days/7 Nights December 30th - January 6th Price: EGP 17,900 Organisers: Travista Awaken your European visas from their deadened slumber (or renew them for a chance to romantic escapade beneath Barcelona’s setting sun) this December 30th. Whilst this trip is solely for Visa holders, the options to peruse Las Ramblas’s luxurious walkways outweigh the queue one must entrail before getting that stamp of approval. Istanbul 6 Days/5 Nights December 27th - January 1st Price: EGP 18,900 Organisers: Travista Indulge in authentic Turkish delights - the rose flavoured kinds included - and escape this winter’s in-born hassles for a chance to shop beyond the mainstream stores and dive into the cultural haven that is Istanbul.

Cape Town, Western Cape 10 Days/9 Nights December 23rd - January 1st Price: USD 1,290/ EGP 31,800 Organisers: Gazef Between the verdant peninsula and the majesty of Table Mountain, few port cities have been able to match wits with the beautiful landscapes Cape Town is able to offer.
