About:

EGYPT is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East, and the 15th most populated in the world. 98% of its people live in 3% of its territory. It is a land that gave birth to the world’s first great civilization. When you travel to Egypt and experience the history and culture on a tour that explores Cairo, cruises along the Nile and visits Luxor, Alexandria and the Siwa Oasis, you’ll see an Egypt that is magnificent, extraordinary and grand leaving you humbled in more ways than one. From the grandeur of the pyramids and the awesome sight of the pharaonic tombs to the romance of cruising the Nile in a ‘Felucca’ and nomadic life in a desert camp, Egypt is a museum holding in its bosom, tucked-away treasures that you’ll never get tired of. Pharaonic nations, ancient Greeks, Romans, Christians and Arab dynasties have all played their part in fashioning Egypt’s embarrassment of architectural wealth.

As you travel further south at Aswan, geometrically imposing temples write a testament to the power of archaic gods and omnipotent pharaohs. It is here that the Nile is best explored on a ‘Felucca’ (Ancient Egyptian sailing boat) at the hands of the prevailing currents and winds. Go west, Egypt’s oceans of sand stretches infinitely to the Sahara, with a handful of oases feeding solitary islands of green. And in the middle of this spectacular spectacle, medieval fortresses stand shyly almost like a beehive, interspersed with bubbling springs and ghostly rock formations. On the other side the deep, crystal waters of the Red Sea lie brilliantly awash in coral, surrounded by an aquatic frenzy of underwater life.
