Egypt

The country's ancient past is alive with its majestic monuments and relics, while the complexity of modern Egypt entrances any visitor. From the majestic Pyramids still standing proudly to the mighty Nile flowing through the heart of Egypt, the stark Sahara Desert and the pristine beaches of the Red Sea, this is a destination not to be missed.


Egypt's rich history has created a tapestry of cultural and archaeological treasures unmatched anywhere - so much so that the country is home to one third of the world's antiquities. The stretch of the Nile that connects Luxor and Aswan is no exception given that the river was the lifeline of ancient Egyptian civilisation. Today the banks of the river are dotted with ancient tombs and temples.

Lying 420 miles south of Cairo, Luxor is the most dramatic historical site in Egypt - and is often referred to as the world's greatest open air museum. Luxor is the modern day name for Thebes, the ancient capital city of the New Kingdom Pharaohs. Today, Luxor is home to more than half of Egyptian antiquities and is a must-see destination for any visitor to Egypt.

Aswan is the "Jewel of the Nile". Pink and grey granite thrusts upward through the Nubian sandstone, forming mountains, cliffs and jagged outcrops. The Nile runs clear and cold here, and endless waves of golden sand swirl against the its banks.
