Reality Check
This tour is operated in partnership with our sister company The Adventure Company (TAC), as such the group may be a mixture of Exodus and TAC clients. This trip is booked through Exodus and you will receive the same award winning customer service that you are used to. TAC operate with the same core principles used by Exodus and champion the benefits of small group travel.
There are so many fantastic sites to see in Egypt but we are conscious that it's easy to become 'templed-out'. This is a holiday after all, and, whilst this is a full itinerary and we miss none of the major sites, we make sure that there is plenty of time for fun and relaxation.
The accommodation is modest, clean and comfortable. It can be very hot in the summer months, which children and adults alike can find tiring.
Please note some road journeys in Egypt are operated by the authorities in convoys. This means that travelling times will be fixed and arrival times into destinations may vary to those described here, with sightseeing adjusted accordingly. Minimum age: 5 years.
Normal group size and age
Normally 4 to 20 plus leader. Minimum age 5.

Mixed Activities: Activities may range from the ordinary (for example walking, cycling or whitewater rafting) to the damn right extraordinary (including caving, camel riding or canyoning).
Culture: Let Exodus show you a different side to many of the world's greatest cultural attractions.
All Exodus trips are active but some may have different activities scheduled every day. Activities we offer include kayaking in Slovakia, trekking in the Drakensberg, cycling in the Tuscan countryside or canoeing along the Zambezi River.
