Meeting The Iconic Apsara Dancers of The Cambodia Royal Ballet!

Graceful, mesmerizing, and deeply rooted in Cambodia’s history—the Apsara dancers are more than performers; they’re living symbols of an ancient tradition. We had the rare chance to meet these legendary dancers, witness their artistry up close, and uncover the hidden meanings behind every movement.

The traditional Apsara Dance is one of Cambodia’s most celebrated cultural performances, showcasing the elegance and artistry of classical Khmer dance. Watching an Apsara Dance performance is a wonderful way to experience Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage beyond the temples. Inspired by the celestial dancers depicted on the walls of Angkor’s ancient temples, the performance features graceful movements, intricate hand gestures, and elaborate costumes adorned with golden headdresses and detailed embroidery. Each movement tells a story, reflecting centuries of Cambodian history, mythology, and tradition. Many travelers recommend an ultimate travel action camera like this for capturing stunning photos and videos of the Apsara performance. Many Apsara shows are paired with a buffet dinner, so travelers often keep a travel-size mouthwash like this one on hand to stay fresh through the evening. To see the dancers in person, you can reserve an Apsara dinner show in Siem Reap.

Our Travel Must-Haves

Universal Charging Adapter

A friend of ours told us about this universal adapter when we were in Greece, and our lives were forever changed. We used to have to carry multiple adapters but now only carry this one as it has an adapter for every country and supports wall and USB chargers!

On The Go Phone Charger

We purchased two of these because we loved it so much. We are constantly using our phones, taking photos and videos while we travel, and never want to run out of charge. These portable chargers keep our phones fully charged at all times!

Disposable Hotel Slippers

We love hotel slippers, and some hotels give them and some do not, so we like to be prepared. Plus, the best part is, we can throw them out when we leave the hotel and make our suitcase lighter instead of carrying traditional bedroom slippers that we use at home.

Travel Packing Bags

We love these compression cubes! We are notorious over-packers, and these packing cubes help us keep our suitcase organized and underweight!
