Tailor-made tours and holidays in Egypt

Discover Egypt on a holiday tailored to you

The land of the pharaoh beckons, and our tailor-made holidays to Egypt give you complete control over how you experience it. Based on your passions, preferences and desired pace, we will carefully craft an itinerary that takes in the best of Egypt.

What to see and do

Tailor-made holidays to Egypt usually begin in Cairo, the lively capital founded more than 1,000 years ago. Here you can visit the Egyptian Museum and its impressive artefacts, which include mummified remains, ornate statues, inscribed stellae, and sundry objects that reveal the daily life of ancient Egyptians. On Cairo’s outskirts lies the Great Pyramid of Giza, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, as well as the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum – the world’s largest archaeological museum.

Egyptian cruises

One of the best ways to explore Egypt is with a cruise on the Nile. This storied river meanders from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, and has quenched Egypt’s cities for millennia. We recommend a multi-night cruise between Luxor and Aswan (or vice versa). By day, enjoy guided excursions to the great attractions dotting the Nile riverbank, including the temple complexes of Karnak and Luxor, the Valleys of the Kings and Queens, and the isolated Temple of Philae on Agilkia Island. At night, retreat to the comforts of your private cabin, dreaming of what awaits at your next port of call.

Cruising can also take you to some of Egypt’s more remote attractions. A voyage on Lake Nasser brings you in reach of Abu Simbel: two enormous UNESCO-listed temples carved into a mountainside and depicting Ramesses II.

More highlights of Egypt

Our tailor-made tours to Egypt can take in more than archaeological attractions. You may wish to indulge your culinary side with market visits, cookery lessons and street-food tours. Or seek creative inspiration at the craft workshops, where skilled artisans hand-make all manner of goods destined for Egypt’s souks. You can also browse and haggle over these Egyptian goods at markets such as the sprawling Khan el-Khalili Bazaar – one of Cairo’s greatest attractions.

For dramatic scenery, we can arrange excursions into the national parks of the desert, where monolithic cliffs rise out of shrub-strewn sands. Or, for relaxation, head to the Mediterranean or Red Sea coasts, where warm water laps enticingly golden shores.
