Reasons To
Visit Egypt

  • Ancient Civilisations

    The Ancient Egyptians have attracted more interest and attention than almost any other ancient civilisation. Their feats of engineering, and the details of their lives we can glean from tomb and temple walls make them seem very alive; similarly their obsession with death also fascinates us.

  • Ancient Ruins

    From the temples of Upper Egypt, to the numerous fantastic pyramids near Cairo, Egypt is probably best known for its ancient ruins. Even once away from the ever-popular Nile Valley, there are oasis tombs, and remnants of Roman Alexandria to uncover.

  • Beaches

    The shores of the Red Sea are rightly famous the world over. The water is a stunning clear blue and the coral reefs are simply amazing. Year-round, the sun shines, and there are excursions into the mountainous interior to tempt you away from the sand and lapping waves.

  • Cruises

    Gliding serenely past lush green fields, farmed by ox-drawn ploughshares, admiring the sleek form of a egret is one of the great pleasures of a visit to Egypt. The fact that this glimpse of unchanged rural life also links together some of the greatest historical monuments in Egypt makes a Nile cruise a must!

  • Museums

    The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities is one of the world's great treasure troves, crammed with artefacts from the country's illustrious past. Other, much smaller museums are more than worthy of your time: Luxor museum is especially noteworthy.

  • Souqs & Shopping

    As you twist and turn deeper into the Khan El Khalili, passing under Mamluke arches and admiring Ottoman 'mashrabiya' window screens, you're drawn into a traditional world where charismatic vendors try to persuade you to purchase handicrafts and goods manufactured in a tiny workshop behind the shop front.

Visit The Sinai Peninsula, Egypt

What the Sinai Peninsula lacks in population it makes up for in dramatic scenery: folded rock strata exposed in a sheer canyon wall, sandstone changing colours in the setting sun, jagged mountain peaks against a bright blue sky.

The Sinai Peninsula

Egypt

Inland from the developed coast the pace of change has been much slower. Much of the peninsula is uninhabited, harsh mountainous desert and plateau.

What the region lacks in population it makes up for in dramatic scenery: folded rock strata exposed in a sheer canyon wall, sandstone changing colours in the setting sun, jagged mountain peaks against a bright blue sky.

Excursions into the peninsula can be taken from Sharm and it is also possible to arrange camping trips to allow you to experience the desert sky at night, littered with stars and galaxies.
