Egypt

General information and travel tips


When we think of Egypt, we mostly think of the Pyramids and other antiquities, but Egypt offers much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see our great heritage from the ancient world, including Pyramids and wonderful temples, but it is also part of the Holy Land, and tours to Christian and other religious monuments are popular. Yet Egypt offers many adventure tours as well, including nature and desert treks, great scuba diving and even golf, fishing and birding expeditions.

Alternatively, one may choose to simply relax on Egypt's wondrous Red Sea or Sinai coasts, or take in the high culture of Cairo, including grand operas, fine restaurants and its exciting night life. One may even leisurely float down the Egyptian Nile on a luxurious river boat, or mix and match these vacations, including excursions into deeper Africa or places such as Petra, Jordan.
