Planning Iconic Tours and Experiences.
The most sought-after tours in Egypt invariably revolve around its ancient civilisations. Planning popular comprehensive Ancient Egypt Tours encompasses the essential historical hubs of Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan.
Beyond the iconic markers of ancient Egyptian history, these tours also highlight sites of profound religious significance. For an added layer of magic, consider incorporating a Nile River cruise, offering a unique perspective on the landscape and its millennia-old stories.
In Egypt, you can offer a range of tour options, from fixed itineraries for those who prefer a structured journey to customizable routes tailored to your clients' specific interests and desired duration.
Offering Must-See Highlights in Each City Include:
- Cairo: The vibrant capital boasts the legendary Giza Pyramids (including the Great Pyramid) and the fascinating Saqqara (Step) Pyramid.
Don't forget tours to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), now largely open and a truly spectacular addition to any itinerary.
- Luxor: Considered the "world's greatest open-air museum," Luxor offers incredible artefacts and awe-inspiring histories. On the West Bank, clients can escape the city heat and explore one or two of the numerous magnificent monuments and tombs, including the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut. The East Bank features the awe-inspiring Luxor and Karnak Temples and the highly recommended Luxor Museum.
- Aswan: While flights and trains connect these cities, you should highly recommend bus journeys between Luxor and Aswan.
For those with an extra day, a visit to the monumental Temples of Abu Simbel is an unforgettable experience, allowing more time to appreciate Aswan's many other attractions.
Religious Journeys and Cultural Immersion.
For clients interested in spiritual exploration, religious tours are incredibly popular. Options include the profound Holy Family Route and the historic Exodus Route, allowing participants to trace the footsteps of ancient narratives.
Tours of Islamic mosques are also available. We can also arrange unstructured religious tours that allow clients to blend highlights from the Holy Family and Exodus routes with the grandeur of the Pharaonic monuments.
