Is the classic Atlas Mountains day trip worth it? We tried three different operators so you do not have to.

Three times a week, after dark, Petra's Siq is lined with candles and the Treasury is illuminated in firelight. Walking through ancient Nabataean stone by candlelight, to the sound of Bedouin music, is one of the most atmospheric experiences the Middle East offers.

Every traveller in Cappadocia books the balloon flight. The question is whether it lives up to the hype. The answer, emphatically, is yes — it is among the most genuinely spectacular experiences available anywhere.

The Kawarau Bridge jump is where commercial bungy began, and it remains the most atmospheric of the several AJ Hackett sites around Queenstown. The 43-metre drop above a turquoise Andean river is not something that preparatory research fully prepares you for.
