Escorted Tours to Egypt
Egypt excites the child in us all. It brings to life everything that Hollywood has ever shown us – everything we’ve ever seen in a museum: the Pyramids, the Pharaohs and a history of biblical proportions. Embrace your inner Indiana Jones and embark on one of our action-packed Egypt tours.
Travellers have been attracted to Egypt by its magic and mystery for centuries. In ancient times, they came from the south along the Nile into Egypt. Here they were met by Ramses’ mighty temples at Abu Simbel, which were designed to intimidate and astound. Travelling northwards, one magnificent temple followed another and climaxed with the mighty Pyramids. Many of our cruises in Egypt sail the Nile route, following in the footsteps of the 19th-century excursionists. This includes our once in a lifetime trip The Original Nile by Royal Steamer.
Escorted tours to Egypt allow you to discover architecture rich in history. During our Egypt trips to the Pyramids & the Nile, you can explore the spellbinding sites of the colossal Pyramids, the Sphinx at Giza, the hieroglyph-lined Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings tombs in Luxor. You can also take a closer look at the remarkable findings discovered by archaeologists and tomb raiders in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum.
Egypt trips to less-visited sites such as the home of ‘heretic pharaoh’ Akhenaten and Nubia give insatiable travellers the opportunity to delve deeper into the story of ancient Egypt.
When to go on Egypt holidays
To most enjoy one of our fantastic guided tours or cruises in Egypt, we advise travelling between February and April or between October and November. At both these times of year, you can explore the Pyramids and take a dip in the Red Sea in lovely warm temperatures.
