We are a UK-based tour operator with specialist knowledge in destinations across the world, including Egypt. We believe a holiday is only as good as the planning that’s gone before it and with the tips, advice and knowledge of our Egypt travel experts, you can expect the trip of a lifetime. We’ve travelled every magnificent corner of Egypt and we’re leaders in the field when it comes to expertise on the country. We can help you embark on a trip to the incredible Valley of the Kings when it’s at its quietest, show you the best sides of the Pyramids of Giza and the awe-inspiring Great Sphinx,
hand pick a riverside hotel from which to explore Luxor and its ancient treasures, organise a leisurely jaunt down the River Nile on a traditional wooden sailboat, and point you in the direction of Cairo's biggest camel market. If it's adventure you crave, work with our travel specialists to discover a whole different side to Egypt – dive in the Red Sea, trek the Sinai Trail and climb the country’s highest mountain. Why not take a camel ride in the Sahara, scale the craggy rock faces of the Sinai Desert and see the sun rise, and the sites illuminate as you float in a hot air balloon. Our passionate travel team will help you tick every activity, sight and experience from your Egypt travel wish-list.

Why do you love Egypt so much? 
Egypt is famed for having the most ancient of histories, mostly a result of its strategic geography. It is simultaneously African and Arabic; fed by the Nile and embraced by the Mediterranean and Red Sea; traditional but also youthful. Exploring the historical sites, you can listen to endless stories spanning thousands of years – or just enjoy the incredible visual feast of the temples and pyramids. And when city sights are too busy, you can snorkel or dive from the Mediterranean and Red Sea beaches. It’s a full package and so close to Europe. 

When did you first visit Egypt and what was your first impression? 
I spent almost three weeks in Egypt in 2010, starting in Hurghada and ending in Cairo. I still remember the smile and efficiency of the representative who met me at the airport, which was mirrored everywhere along the way. I saw a country bristling with energy - proud of its famous history and ready to forge a new future.
