UNCOVER ANCIENT EGYPT IN THE LAND OF THE PHARAOHS
With the mighty Nile coursing through its veins, a verdurous river valley and delta, barren desert landscapes and some of the world’s most magnificent, timeworn monuments, Egypt is a remarkable destination. The best way to experience it’s history and culture is by tailor-made holidays in Egypt organised by experts.
Most travel here to unveil the country’s fascinating history. Once home to one of the pre-eminent ancient civilisations, Egypt offers sand-carpeted tombs, pharaonic temples, Islamic mosques and, of course, the majestic Pyramids of Giza, the last standing Wonder of the Ancient World. We can create the most memorable journeys, providing you with incredible private access, brilliant Egyptologists and insider tips on how best to visit the abundant treasures here.
But Egypt is about more than just its past. A few days in Cairo, the bustling capital, will give you a flavour of the modern-day city. An idyllic Nile cruise will allow you to unwind and get a glimpse of rural life today, as you drift through ever-changing scenery, stopping off at glorious ancient sites along the way. What’s more, the Red Sea coastline offers world-class snorkelling and scuba-diving, and there are some beautiful, remote regions to explore, such as the Siwa Oasis in the Western Desert.

Tailor-made Holidays in Egypt
Siwa Oasis
This extraordinary fertile basin in the remote Western Desert is a serene and enchanting haven known for its natural beauty and rich history. The oasis is rich in stunning landscapes, freshwater springs and ancient ruins such as the Temple of the Oracle, and home to exhilarating activities such as 4WD and sandboarding escapades in the Great Sand Sea, horse riding adventures and restorative spa experiences.
Nefertari's Tomb
Nefertari’s Tomb offers a fascinating glimpse into the life, beliefs, and burial practices of one of Egypt’s most revered queens, making it a must-visit for history and art enthusiasts. This extraordinary archaeological treasure is located in Luxor’s Valley of the Queens, and dates back to the New Kingdom period. Renowned for its exquisite and well-preserved wall paintings depicting scenes from Egyptian mythology and the afterlife, the vivid colours and intricate details of the artwork showcase the artistic mastery of ancient Egypt.
Private Nile cruise
Meander between Luxor and Aswan on a luxury private cruise and you will pass through some of the Nile Valley’s most picturesque and verdant scenery. Slow travel on the water gives you an intriguing glimpse of rural Egyptian life, such as fellaheen (farmers) at work in fertile sugar-cane fields and cattle and donkeys grazing in the shallows. It takes you to the treasures of Luxor and Aswan as well as some of the quieter, more isolated temples between the two cities.
