Countries Visited: Egypt

Ancient treasures and towering temples

A camel ride at the Pyramids
Snorkel in the Red Sea

This trip is a more compact version of our 'Land of the Pharaohs' tour, taking in the amazing archaeological sites at Cairo and Luxor together with a few nights by the Red Sea. A trip to Egypt would not be complete without a visit to the awe-inspiring pyramids at Giza, the Valley of the Kings and the temples of ancient Thebes - all of which are included. An afternoon felucca trip on the Nile, a camel ride by the Pyramids and optional snorkelling in the Red Sea also ensures that this is a great short family trip.
