A great opportunity to see Egypt's wealth of archeological sites with one of our highly knowledgeable Egyptologists
This trip is a must for those who have ever marvelled at the long history of this unique country. As we take an unforgettable journey, we gain an in-depth insight in to a truly fascinating ancient civilisation. In addition to the classic archaeological sites, we visit places our other itineraries do not; Egypt's largest oasis at Al Fayyum, the temples at Dendara and the vast necropolis of Abydos. With group lectures we are able to get a greater understanding of these special sites and our qualified Egyptologists are always on hand to answer any questions. A trip not to be missed as we bring the ancient Egyptian world back to life.
