Description
From the bazaars and bustle of Cairo to gently lapping waters of the Red Sea, you’ll get to experience Egypt at it’s best on this 15-day journey of discovery. You’ll visit all the top sights like the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings, and spend time exploring Aswan and the sights of the south. There’s also a magical night onboard a traditional Nile felucca, a homestay with a Nubian family and a trip into the rugged interior of the Sinai. Climb Mount Sinai for a spectacular desert sunset and see the Biblical burning bush at St Catherine’s Monastery. Then it’s over to the warm waters of the Red Sea for two nights in a laid-back oceanfront camp, staying in simple palm-covered huts for a perfectly relaxing beach break.
