Travel to the Egypt

Discover the Warmth of Egypt & Make Lifelong Memories

A life well-travelled cannot be considered complete without at least one visit to Egypt! Egypt isn’t just home to the oldest and best-preserved historical sites on earth, the country offers diverse holiday experiences catered to your travel preferences. You can enjoy an immersive urban experience in Cairo and Alexandria, discover some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving sites in the world in the Red Sea, get a taste of life on the Nile on personalized Nile cruises, or curate your own desert adventure.

The energy, hospitality, and good humor of the Egyptian people are at the heart of any visit to Egypt, with sunny smiles etched onto the faces of nearly every person you will encounter. Expect multiple offers for homecooked meals, invites to weddings and parties, and a chance to make new friends as warm as the golden Egyptian sun.

Located in the northeast corner of Africa and the southwest corner of Asia, Egypt connects the two continents through the Sinai Peninsula, which acts as a land bridge.

The ancient Greeks called Egypt the “Gift of the Nile” as it remained one of the region’s major food producers for thousands of years. The Nile River crosses Egypt’s desert plateau, flowing from the southernmost borders of the country all the way through the Delta to the Mediterranean. Beyond the striking contrast of riverbed and desert expanse lie picturesque desert oases, colorful mountain ranges, and a diverse coastline.

Exploring Egypt’s rich landscape is the perfect way to connect with nature. You can enjoy bird-watching on the Nile in Aswan, dive among the stunning marine life of the Blue Lagoon in Dahab, or swim with dolphins in Marsa Alam.

If a quiet holiday surrounded by natural splendor is what you seek, experience life on an ecolodge in Siwa, go on a desert safari to see the stunning formations of the White Desert; explore one of the many natural protectorates, such as Nabq Bay, or simply luxuriate on the sandy white shores of the Mediterranean North Coast.

Craving an active holiday filled with outdoor fun? Go hiking in the breathtaking mountain ranges of Sinai on one of the many established trails near Nuweiba and Dahab, experience desert quad biking in Fayoum, or plan a desert camping trip in Ras Abu Galoum to marvel at the spectacular night sky! Ras Sedr, Dahab, Al-Gouna and Sharm al-Sheikh are also prime locations for kite and wind surfing. No matter what kind of outdoor adventure you desire, Egypt has the perfect itinerary for you.

Memphis and its necropolises

Saqqara is home to Egypt’s oldest stone monument, Djoser’s Step Pyramid, while Dahshur shows evidence of the progression in pyramid building techniques to attain the famous smooth surface of the Giza Pyramids.

Luxor

Further south lies another UNESCO World Heritage site, Ancient Thebes, where you can discover the beauty of ancient Egypt’s most sacred site, Karnak Temples, which comprises several majestic temples in one complex, located in the east of Luxor. Not far is also Luxor Temple, dedicated to the god Amun.

Aswan and Abu Simbel

The Temple of Aswan and the colossal Temples of Abu Simbel on the shores of Lake Nasser are also must-sees on any visit to Egypt. Best known for the four iconic, colossal, seated statues that dominate the façade of Abu Simbel, monumental temples carved and cut into the mountain by King Ramesses II

The Nile from Cairo to Abu Simbel

Egypt is a country that has always honored the Nile. In Cairo, floating restaurants and traditional sailboats, or feluccas are a fun way to see the city lights or take in the sunset. Further south, there is no better way to explore the sites of ancient Egypt than onboard a Nile cruise.

The Red Sea

From Nuweiba to Marsa-Alam, you can find small boutique hotels & lodges of varying sophistication. Directly at the coastline or situated beneath a rust-colored mountain range, at a few steps away from shimmering turquoise waters, inviting you to wade in and disconnect from the world.
