Felucca on the Nile, Egypt

This family holiday combines visits to awe-inspiring monuments and ancient world treasures with fun and relaxation on the Nile and by the Red Sea - a varied itinerary and a perfect introduction to a fascinating land. Egypt is a country steeped in history and charm: we delve in to the country's glorious past as we visit Giza's Great Pyramids and the grand temples and tombs at ancient Thebes. These sights (and our great guides) never fail to captivate children and adults alike. Upstream in Aswan we experience the Nubian culture and travel by traditional felucca on the Nile. Our journey ends by the Red Sea with its sandy beaches and colourful reefs. There is time here for various excursions or you can simply relax - the choice is yours.
