The journey
Discover Egypt
Journey through the cradle of civilization. Stand beneath the Great Pyramids of Giza, cruise the legendary Nile, and wander the temples of Luxor and Karnak before relaxing on the Red Sea.
This is the most complete tour of Egypt you'll find. We visit all the significant sites in a short time by combining two domestic flights, a three-night Nile cruise, and a single three-hour bus ride. Optional excursions include Paradise Island, scuba diving, snorkeling, and a sunrise hot air balloon ride.
Egypt, a land of ancient wonders and timeless beauty, is a destination that should be on every traveler's bucket list. Its captivating history, enchanting landscapes, and vibrant culture make it an unmatched adventure. I want to show you the most important sites at the right pace, with all the comforts taken care of.
