Egypt Tours & Adventures

National Geographic has included Egypt as one of its 25 best tourist destinations for 2023.

Egypt is home to the most incredible collection of historical artefacts and monuments dating back more than 5000 years, but it offers so much more! Journey out into the desert and visit the oases, scuba dive in the Red Sea, or hike to the top of Mount Sinai.

Discover the secrets of the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx in Cairo and walk through the iconic Valley of the Kings with its incredible painted tombs. Spend 3 or 4 nights on a Nile River Cruise and delight in the sights of Aswan and Luxor, with plenty of stops at ancient temples and archaeological sites along the way, such as Kom Ombo, the double-temple and the Edfu Temple, one of Egypt’s best preserved ancient sites. From Aswan, visit the remarkable temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, famous for its four colossal statues cut into a solid rock cliff.

When going on your Egypt tour holiday, be sure to explore the ancient highlights of Alexandria, including the Great Library, one of the largest libraries on earth, and do not forget to roam some of the bustling markets found all over Egypt!

The Red Sea is famous for scuba diving and snorkelling its colourful reefs, but it is also the perfect location to end your trip to relax, soak up the sun and enjoy a few cocktails. The best spots are Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada and Dahab.

Egypt will captivate and amaze you with each step in this journey.

• Egypt’s capital, Cairo, is best known for preserving the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and here are a few reasons why you should spend time in Cairo before while on your Egypt adventure tour before you journey to the rest of Egypt:
• One of the 7 Wonders of the World, the Pyramids of Giza hold the keys to our understanding of Ancient Egyptian civilisation. Guarded by the Great Sphinx, the pyramids are the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs: Khufu, Khafre and Mycerinus.
• Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo and uncover an ancient civilisation with over 5,000 years of history. The newly built museum allows you to enjoy never-before-seen artefacts and the complete Tutankhamun collection for the first time!
• Experience the stunning Memphis, Egypt’s first capital and visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s oldest pyramid (built 2,630BC); the perfectly shaped Red Pyramid; and the Bent Pyramid.
• Marvel at the historical churches in Old Cairo, known as Coptic Cairo, the heartland of Egypt’s Christian community. Churches you can visit include the Hanging Church, the Greek Orthodox Monastery and the Church of St George.
• The Cave Church is located in an area known as Zabbaleen city, meaning literally ‘garbage city’ and the largest Christian church in the Middle East. Much of the church’s walls’ surface is carved with Bible stories.
• There is no better way to discover the treasures of Upper Egypt than with a Nile River cruise between Luxor and Aswan. The Nile Cruises includes tours of several historical sites and points of interest along the route, such as:
• Explore Luxor, referred to as the world’s greatest open-air museum and home to more than half of Egyptian antiquities. It is a must-see destination for any visitor to Egypt.
• The Karnak Temple is a sight to behold. Situated in Luxor, the Karnak Temple is considered the largest temple ever constructed and comprises a collection of temple buildings.
• The Valley of the Kings in Luxor is best known as the resting place of Tutankhamun, and at present, it contains 62 known tombs of high-ranking nobles and pharaohs.
• Visit the Philae Temple in Aswan, the last ancient temple constructed in ancient Egyptian style. 
• The Red Sea is home to the most beautiful coral reefs, making it one of the world’s best diving and snorkelling destinations. You can choose between two locations:
• Extend your stay and visit Hurghada, a Red Sea resort town where you can relax and unwind for a few days and participate in activities such as scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing, horse riding and deep sea fishing.
• Sharm el Sheikh is famous as a dive destination with sites like the Ras Mohammad National Park and the Strait of Tiran. Snorkellers can easily reach the house reefs from many of the hotels. 
• Explore the beautiful Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria and visit highlights like the Catacombs of Kom El Shaqafa, the citadel of Qaitbay, Pompey’s Pillar, and the Library of Alexandria.
• The famous Catherine’s Monastery, hidden in the mountains, is a must-see in Sinai! It is one of the world’s oldest working Christian monasteries and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Experience the colossal temples at Abu Simbel, built for Ramesses II. Four 20-metre-high statues guard the temple entrance into beautiful underground halls. The temples are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a site you don’t want to miss if you visit Egypt.
• Take a short boat ride from Aswan and visit a traditional and colourful Nubian Village! These villages are known for their colourful streets, rainbow-painted walls, and kind people. Enjoy a walking tour to see the beautiful colourful streets, watch the great Nubian architecture, and have an oriental lunch with the Nubian people.
