Historic sites, a Nile Cruise and relaxation by the Red Sea

Camels taking a break in front of the pyramids

Egypt is a country filled with treasures from a glorious past. This trip is ideal for those wishing to combine visits to the awe-inspiring sites with the comfort and relaxation of a Nile cruise and a stay by the Red Sea. With the help of our excellent guides, we delve into the country's impressive history.

We visit Cairo's famous Archaeological Museum, the breathtaking Pyramids and the tombs and grand temples of ancient Thebes. The Nile, Africa's most important river, also holds many delights. We sail on a traditional felucca in the vibrant Nubian city of Aswan and take a three-night cruise down the Nile, visiting Kom Ombo and Edfu on the way.

Our journey ends by the Red Sea with time to enjoy the golden beaches and explore the magnificent coral reefs. A varied itinerary and the perfect introduction to a truly captivating land.

 

What makes this trip responsible?

After the “Tahrir Square” revolution earlier in 2011, numbers of tourists visiting Egypt has been at its lowest for years. By visiting Egypt we are directly contributing to rebuilding this ailing industry and giving local businesses and communities a boost during this difficult time for them.
