Egypt Destinations

From the Pyramids to the reefs of the Red Sea: where to go in Egypt, and which of our journeys will take you there.

Egypt is a long, narrow country. Almost everything ancient lies along the Nile, which flows north for over a thousand kilometres from Aswan to Cairo. Beyond the river are the deserts, with their oases, and to the east the Red Sea coast. Most first trips combine Cairo, a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, and Abu Simbel. Choose a destination below to see what it offers and which journeys include it.
