Tailor-made Egypt holidays
Good things happen when we travel
Experience authentic Egypt on a tailor-made tour
Egypt is just a short flight from the UK, but it feels like a journey through time. It’s a country where ancient civilisation meets everyday life, from towering pyramids and vast temple complexes to the slow pace of the Nile and the golden sands of the desert.
Sail past palm-lined riverbanks on a felucca, explore bustling souks, wander through ancient tombs, and watch the sun set over the Red Sea. Sip sweet mint tea in a local café, discover colourful Nubian villages, and tuck into flavour-packed Egyptian dishes along the way.
We’ve curated a range of authentic experiences and characterful accommodation so you can experience the real Egypt. Our travel specialists are here to share their in-depth Egypt knowledge and help create your ideal tailor-made journey.
Pick your itinerary or build your own
All of our Egypt holidays are tailor-made and fully flexible, but to give you some inspiration we’ve created a range of original itineraries, alongside our unique bite-sized trips which allow you to build your own ideal itinerary.

Speak to our Egypt specialist, Annabelle
“What makes Egypt so special is the incredible mix of experiences. One day you’re standing in front of temples and pyramids you’ve seen in books and documentaries, the next you’re sailing along the Nile or wandering through lively local streets full of everyday life. My advice? Don’t try to rush from sight to sight, leave space for the slower moments too, because that’s often when Egypt surprises you the most.”
