Our Bite-sized Egypt Trips

Start your journey through ancient Egypt in Cairo, where you’ll visit the iconic Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, before venturing to the less-visited pyramids of Saqqara and then onto the ancient capital of Egypt, Memphis for a deeper look beyond the classic sights.

A trip to Egypt wouldn’t be complete without exploring  ancient Luxor, often called the ‘world’s largest open-air museum’. Discover the iconic Valley of the Kings, visit the striking Temple of Hatshepsut and stand before the towering Colossi of Memnon as you step back into Egypt’s fascinating past.

If you’re looking for an authentic, local Egyptian experience along the Nile, head to Aswan. Learn all about traditional Nubian culture, staying in a local guesthouse on Elephantine Island and visit the beautiful Philae Temple.

Travel deep into southern Egypt to the incredible temples of Abu Simbel, where giant statues of Ramses II rise from the desert. Stay overnight in a traditional Nubian-style guesthouse and experience this ancient wonder after the day-trippers have gone.

Sail the Nile in true Egyptian style aboard a traditional felucca, a simple and adventurous way to experience the country, as you journey from Aswan to the temples of Kom Ombo, relaxing on deck by day and sleeping beneath a sky full of stars as the river gently rocks you to sleep.

Step aboard a traditional dahabiya for a relaxed four-night Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Unwind in a comfortable, air-conditioned cabin as you sail past scenic river landscapes, and spend your days exploring ancient temples including Edfu and Kom Ombo with an expert Egyptologist.

Head to the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, where you’ll explore Roman ruins, wander along the lively waterfront and discover a charming mix of ancient history, seaside charm and local life.

Step off the beaten track on a one of a kind 4×4 desert adventure from Cairo, crossing wide open sands, spending the night in a Bedouin camp beneath a brilliant starry sky, and discovering lakes, oases, flamingos and ancient whale skeletons along the way.

End your Egypt adventure with some time on the Red Sea. Instead of the busy resorts in Hurghada, head to the sleepy coastal town of Safaga where you’ll stay in a comfortable beach resort with a swimming pool and private beach. Spend your days exactly as you wish, relax by the sea, take a dip in the warm waters, or head out to discover the vibrant underwater world of the Red Sea.

Cruise in comfort from Luxor to Aswan over several days on a four-star Nile cruise, with guided visits to temples such as Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way. Enjoy ever-changing river views and, in Aswan, choose from optional excursions including Nubian villages or Abu Simbel before continuing your journey.
