A Step Back in Time Egypt

A country of extreme contrasts, Egypt is home to the fertile Nile Delta, arid wastelands, scorched deserts, ancient and remarkably preserved historical sites and glamorous resorts on the Red Sea coast.

The far-reaching history and sheer number of ancient sites to visit can be quite overwhelming but our expert guides can quickly put the country’s culture and history into context, a visit to Cairo’s Museum of Egyptian Antiquities is a great place to start.

There are a great number of incredible sites to squeeze into your itinerary including the West Bank in Luxor, The Great Sphinx at Giza, the ruins of Memphis, Thebes and Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, the cities of Edfu and Esna, Kom Ombo Temple, Aswan High Dam, Philae Temple and Abu Simbel. Luckily the hotels and cruise ships are exquisite, the food delicious and the offering of spa and well-being treatments extensive so that you will have a chance to re-energise between excursions and sight-seeing.

Egypt is well located to combine a visit to Jordan to see Petra, the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum.
