Luxury holidays in Egypt

Steeped in history, Egypt evokes memories of a glorious and magical past. Mighty monuments sit alongside stunning landscapes. 

The awe-inspiring Sinai Desert, with its undulating sand and magnificent mountains watch over lush plains and desert resorts; the gushing Nile cataracts beside Aswan, set in the Nubian Desert; and the Red Sea coast, with its beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters is alive with exquisite coral reefs. Add to all this friendly people eager to show you the sights and sounds of their fascinating country.

Cairo

This sprawling and bustling city, rich with medieval splendour and ancient bazaars, astounds the senses. Museums filled with Pharaonic artefacts and the Great Pyramids are a constant reminder of the mysteries of ancient Egypt.

Luxor

This ancient city beside the Nile boasts an avenue of Sphinxes guarding the mighty Temple of Karnak, and the vast Temple of Luxor. On the West Bank, the serene Valley of the Kings and Colossi of Memnon are a tribute to the genius of Ancient Egypt.

Aswan

Aswan, in the south, brings serene Nile vistas of graceful tall-sailed feluccas drifting around tiny islets green with foliage and filled with birdsong.

Sinai and the Red Sea

Sinai, a land of dramatic contrasts, is a remarkable triangle of land with palm-fringed beaches and undulating sand dunes. The shores of the Red Sea, with miles of beautiful beaches, wind along the coast at the foot of the reddish hills along the Eastern Desert.
