Planning a trip? Maybe one that’s a little bit out-of-the-ordinary? The guides here are full of important details and practical information, all based on our first-hand experience traveling in countries where things don’t always work out the way you expect.
A couple of locals we talked to in Cairo and Alexandria hinted at there being ferries to Saudi Arabia from Hurghada or other places in Egypt, but no one knew much about it. Any sort of ticketing or travel agent we asked said no such thing existed and tried to sell us flights to Riyadh. That only strengthened our resolve and we were determined, Insh’Allah, to arrive in Saudi Arabia by ferry.
Self-driving the Pamir Highway is one of the world’s ultimate roadtrips. This guide is our eight day itinerary, and the information you need to plan your trip.

This post is the itinerary for our nine day tour in Turkmenistan. It’s about how we arrived at this plan, what we loved about it, and things we’d change in retrospect. Feel free to copy our itinerary directly, or borrow a few of the days you like best and use it as a base to kick off your own plans.
Here’s what you need to know to travel by road between India and Nepal, across the Sonauli (Sunauli) border.

This is a guide to inspire and help you plan an independent trip in Central Asia. It follows our route with information about border crossings, trains, and things to do along the way.
I highly recommend the overnight ferry, if you’re travelling from South Korea to Japan (or vice-versa). A smooth trip, a comfortable night’s sleep, and a bathhouse onboard. And if you aren’t that tired, there’s always karaoke.
