A treasure trove of wonder
The cradle of civilization, Egypt is a land where Pharaohs, Pyramids and King Tut’s legacy have captivated curious travellers since ancient times. While it’s not hard to find every moment stirring in the grandeur of the world’s oldest civilization, we focus on the special bits that bring history to life. Whether you’re cruising down the mighty Nile or exploring Cairo’s shimmering museums with the family, the world’s oldest treasures await around every corner. Beyond the historical wonders, Egypt's natural beauty beckons with the Red Sea's sandy beaches, sleeping under the stars and camel rides through the white-sand desert. Get inspired and let us craft a timeless adventure tailored just for you.
Discover the possibilities:
Egypt Art, Food & Culture
Ancient Egyptians have bestowed an astonishing legacy of art and culture upon the world. It’s almost impossible to believe if one weren’t to witness it firsthand. For the art lover, it’s a dream come true with the papyrus drawings detailing tales from past Egyptian life, remarkable paintings and sculpture. For the foodie, it’s a smorgasbord of deliciousness from fresh fish and seafood to mezze and scrumptious vegetarian dishes. For culture, what more can we say? No other destination offers up five millennia of history, architecture, archaeology, and art like Egypt does.
Egypt Family
With backstage access to tombs and temples after hours and felucca rides across the Nile, Egypt creates a playground of adventure for families of all ages. Whether you’re exploring the Red Sea via submarine or hearing fascinating stories of the mysterious Sphinx, adventure awaits around every corner. Watch the whirling dervishes, walk in the footsteps of riches in the Valley of the Queens and come face to face with King Tut. Egypt is a destination where rich history, adventure and culture are blended for an erudite family experience.
Egypt Desert Experience
Egypt presents an otherworldly journey for those craving off-grid relaxation. Explore monochrome deserts and crystal mountains as you break bread with the Beaudoin tribe, take a camel ride through the desert, and indulge in the luxuries of Adrére Amellal eco-lodge, a hand-built desert oasis with its only source of light illuminated from beeswax candles.
Egyptian Honeymoon
Few experiences embody romance as perfectly as witnessing the sunset behind the Great Pyramids of Giza or watching the sun cast a fiery red glow over the Valley of the Kings. Taking a Nile cruise will transport you through time, while bustling Cairo will dazzle you with its chic food scene and ancient artifacts. Egypt's coastal havens, nestled between the Mediterranean and Red Seas, promise a blend of relaxation, pristine beaches, adventure and sublime weather – an ideal setting for the two of you.
