Which Egypt speaks to you?

On a first visit, Cairo is hard to skip, with the pyramids at Giza and the museum that holds the treasures of ancient Egypt. Luxor is the other essential stop, with access to the Valley of the Kings and the temple of Karnak. Those two cities are a fine introduction to the scale of ancient Egypt. We can help you build a route that includes them, along with other stops chosen to suit you.

A trip to Egypt adapts to the time you have, from a short city stay to a longer journey across the country. We build tailor-made routes around the length of your stay. Whatever time you have, we lay out a plan that makes the most of it.

Egypt can be visited all year, and each season has something to offer. Summer is very hot, especially in the south, but it brings quieter sites and off-season rates. The cooler months, from October to April, give ideal conditions for the open-air sites and for a Nile cruise. Each traveller can pick the period that matches their tolerance for heat and for crowds.

Beyond Cairo and Luxor, Aswan is well worth the detour for the temple of Philae and the quiet felucca afternoons on the Nile, as is Abu Simbel for its temples cut into the rock. A Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan gives long views and a sense of rural Egypt. The bazaars, Khan el-Khalili in Cairo above all, are where you meet local craft and daily life. All of it can be built into a tailor-made route.

We design tailor-made stays for the lesser-known parts of Egypt, for travellers who want more than the standard circuit. Remote oases, desert landscapes, cultural sites that few reach: we can build a route around what draws you. Tell us what you have in mind and we will lay out a trip that goes beyond the usual stops.
