The World’s Most Expensive Holiday Is Pretty Special [PICS]

This is basically a season of Idiot Abroad. But without the complaining, and with significantly more comfortable hotels.
VeryFirstTo has out together a magical journey that visits every World Heritage site. It’s a short, sharp bucket list. And by “short”, we mean it lasts for two years. Over the course of the trip, travelers visit 962 places considered by the World Heritage Committee to have “outstanding universal cultural and natural value.”

The destinations include:

China’s Enchanting Forbidden City

Spain’s Alhambra

Cambodia’s Exotic Angkor Temples

Petra The Symbol Of Jordan

Mexico’s Ancient City Of Monte Alban

Taj Mahal In India

And that’s not even mentioning the Great Pyramids, or Machu Pichu. Of course a trip like this does not come cheap, it has a minimum business class standard and “will see the exceedingly lucky couple enjoy the splendid facilities of hotels including: Sandy Lane (Barbados); Hotel George V (Paris); The Plaza (New York); The Taj Mahal Palace (Mumbai); Cipriani Hotel (Venice); and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel (Moscow).”

The measures out to be about £445,000 per person 5,000 of which goes to UNESCO, so if you have this kind os dosh lying around, go for it.
