Things to do in Egypt

Half Day Old Cairo tour

Old Cairo is contained within the boundaries of the Roman fortress of Babylon, where the Copts built their churches for protection.

Explore the West Bank

The West Bank at Luxor is known as the Theban Necropolis. This full day excursion will typically include the Tombs of the Theban rulers and the Temple of Hatshepsut.

Alexandria Tour

Visit some of the key sights in Alexandria, including Pompey's Pillar, the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, Alexandria National Museum and Alexandria Library.

Museum, Citadel, Mosque & Souqs

Situated on a spur of the Muqattam Hills, the citadel dominates Cairo's skyline and was the nerve center of the city and wider Egypt for almost 700 years.

Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur

As the only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the pyramids at Giza occupy a unique place in world history, and are a perennial favorite with travelers.

El Alamein tour

El Alamein is an apt name for a place that witnessed the turning point of the North Africa campaign, determining the fate of Egypt and Britain's empire.

Abu Simbel tour, Egypt

The great Sun Temple of Abu Simbel epitomizes the monumentalism of the New Kingdom during its imperial heyday, when Ramses II waged colonial wars from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon to the Fourth Cataract.

Explore the East Bank

The modern town of Luxor has grown up around the two temples of Luxor and Karnak. The name Luxor is a corruption of the Arabic word "El Qsour", meaning castles or palaces, a reference to these two magnificent temples.

Philae Temple Excursion

Take a short boat ride before disembarking into a colonnaded courtyard, which will lead you into Philae Temple itself, flanked by wonderfully carved pylons.

Sound and light at Philae Temple

The highlight of this excursion is crossing the Nile in a boat and being greeted by sights of the floodlit Philae Temple silhouetted against the rocks and surrounding water.
