5 incredible 1-week itineraries to save for your next adventure 🌍👇

(Follow Elle James & Ben James | The Postcard Dream for more bucket list travel inspiration 🌍)

After travelling to over 100 countries, we’ve learnt that you don’t need weeks of annual leave to have an incredible adventure.

These are 5 trips we think pack a LOT into just 7 days:
🇪🇬 Egypt — pyramids, tombs, temples & the Nile
🇯🇴 Jordan — Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea & Red Sea
🇲🇦 Morocco — Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains & Sahara
🇮🇹 Dolomites — epic hikes, alpine lakes & mountain roads
🇮🇸 Iceland — waterfalls, glaciers & black-sand beaches

A few things we’ve learnt from doing trips like these:
→ Don’t try to see the entire country in a week — choose one strong route.
→ Build the itinerary around the places you’d be genuinely gutted to miss, then add everything else around them.
→ And always check seasonal conditions before booking — the same itinerary can feel completely different at another time of year.

Which would you choose for a week away? 👇
