10 Days Egyptian Adventure
Nile and Red Sea Adventure
Egypt
Introduction
King Tut and the Pyramids, camels in souqs, Pharaohs' tombs and swimming in the warm waters of the Red Sea - what an adventure for children and parents alike! For hundreds of years now Egypt has wowed visitors with its wonders and this tour takes in the very best. Explore the Pyramids of Giza and see Tutankhamun's gold. Then, after exploring the souqs of Aswan, set sail on a Nile felucca for an unforgettable journey towards Luxor. Then there's the Valley of the Kings, Karnak
Temple, snorkelling
Pyramids and gold!
We start in the bustling capital, Cairo - the biggest
city in Africa, dubbed 'the city that never sleeps'! We
head first for the Great Pyramids of Giza, on the sands
outside the capital, where the brave can venture into
the very centre of a pyramid, and also see the enigmatic
Sphinx. More amazing sights confront us at the Egyptian
Museum - with the highlight the gold of Tutankhamun and
creepy mummified creatures!
All Aboard to Aswan
Next we take the sleeper train south to the wonderfully
laid back desert city of Aswan. Here we wander the
bazaars in search of spices, relax by the pool and take
a trip to St Simeon's Monastery by camel - there's even
time for a visit to the unforgettable temples at Abu
Simbel (optional). A highlight for many will be the
opportunity to visit a local village where we'll enjoy a
traditional Nubian meal. Next we board our feluccas -
the traditional lateen-rigged boats of the Nile. With
around seven travellers aboard each boat we sail north
towards Luxor, the countryside and villages slipping by.
At night we have a campfire and our crew may bring out
the drums before we drift off to sleep on deck under the
stars.
The Valley of the Kings and Red Sea
In Luxor there's the chance to take an optional hot-air
balloon flight over ancient Thebes. Mounting donkeys
we'll take the old path used by the artisans who created
the tombs, to the Valley of the Kings and return to
enjoy a horse-drawn calesh ride to Karnak Temple. Moving
on to al Quseir, we experience a different aspect of
Egypt: the Red Sea. Children and adults alike will love
its warm waters - great for snorkelling amidst a
dazzling show of multi-coloured fish and coral. Finally
we fly back to Cairo for some last minute optional
sightseeing or shopping.
