Egypt Holidays Welcome To Civilisation
To witness the most visible introduction to civilization our planet has
to offer, take a trip to Egypt. Its capital Cairo is to place to start
boasting the pyramids, the sphinxes and the Egyptian museum. Of course,
as you’d expect, there’s much more to this unique country: endless
deserts, verdant oases, exotic underwater life and dazzling beaches. And
don’t miss the red sea with its great scuba diving. Best of all, you’ll
find the people are friendly and hospitable.
If you're considering one of our trips to Cairo and Greater Egypt,
this Pyramid and Sinai tour highlights Egypt's main historical sites,
the Pyramids in Cairo and the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, coupled with
the laid-back, hedonistic atmosphere of Dahab on the Red Sea.

Sleep & sail on a felucca
Pyramids & mummies (daddies too!)
Swim & snorkel in the Red Sea
Your trip starts in Cairo, with a visit to the Egyptian museum, where
you’ll learn about the mysteries of the mummies, and marvel at the
treasure of the boy-king, Tutankhamun. Next it’s the Pyramids of Giza
and the Sphinx – even the smallest children are overcome with awe at the
sight of these wonders of the ancient world! Catching the overnight
sleeper train to Aswan, you have time to explore its colourful bazaar or
ride camels within sight of the Nile and enjoy a visit to a Nubian
village to take dinner with a local family. You sail down the Nile
aboard feluccas – traditional Egyptian sailboats – stopping on your
journey to visit the temple at Kom Ombo. You also drive to Luxor, home
to the world’s greatest collection of antiquities. As well as exploring
the monumental temple at Karnak, you visit the tombs of the Pharaohs,
hidden away in the Valley of the Kings. Then, a brief stay at Hurghada
gives you a chance to swim & snorkel in the Red Sea before returning to
Cairo.
