Destination Egypt
Explore Egypt's rich culture and varied and breathtaking scenery!
The Land of the Pharaohs
Today's Egypt is the combination of various historical eras ranging from Ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire, from Islamic dynasties to modern history. In Cairo, as in most major cities, you can find skyscrapers, highways, international hotels, restaurants, Western clothing mixed with local clothing, ancient monuments, historic mosques, Coptic Orthodox church, and traditional souks. A true blend in the unique mosaic that is present-day Egypt.
Those looking for history, culture, and a unique experience in Egypt can start in Cairo, exploring the pyramids, the Sphinx, and historic wonders. Other activities not to be missed are at the historic temples of Luxor and Abu Simble further south, ballooning in the Valley of the Kings, taking a typical boat (felukka) tour in Aswan, or camping with the people who “invented” hospitality.
The Red Sea region attracts visitors from all over the world, with excellent snorkeling and diving spots, kite surfing, yacht tours, off-road safaris, beautiful beaches and a bustling nightlife.
Touristic spots
Nile Valley
The Nile Valley is home to the Valley of the Kings, the iconic Pyramids, the majestic Sphinx, and the impressive temples of Luxor and Karnak. Ideal for exploring the cradle of civilization and navigating the longest river in the world, learning about the wonders of the ancient Egyptians.
What to do in the Nile Valley
- Also known as the “City of a Thousand Minarets”, in Cairo you can visit mosques in a medieval Islamic city, 19th century palaces, and the pyramids of Giza. For history lovers, the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx (part of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) and the Egyptian Museum, which houses the best collection of Egyptian artifacts, are not to be missed! In addition to refining negotiation skills, a visit to a souk can find spices, perfumes, handicrafts, jewelry, and more.
- Luxor, which was the ancient Egyptian capital, is known as the largest open-air museum in the world. Among the region's attractions are Tutankhamun's tomb, magnificent sunsets at the Karnak and Luxor temple complexes, and Nile cruises.
- Located 899 km south of Cairo, Aswan is where the Nile is more majestic than anywhere else, flowing through granite rocks and emerald islands covered with palm trees and tropical plants. Among the attractions, you can sail to the Filas Temple, built in honor of the goddess Isis, see the Mausoleum of Agha Khan and take a tour of the Monastery of St. Simeon.
Red Sea
Located near the desert and south of Sinai, the Red Sea Riviera is a coastal area with beautiful beaches. The year-round sun makes it a perfect dive destination at any time of the year. Even in the first 3 months of the year, when the water temperature ranges from 21 to 22 ºC, you can swim, dive or snorkel in the blue waters.
Mediterranean
On the coast known as White Med, there is a combination of resorts, cultural attractions, sports activities and small-city charm. Among the attractions in the region are: Alexandria, with a mix of history and modernity and where the Pompey Pillar is located; El Alamein, site of a great battle of the Second World War. The coastal region attracts Europeans seeking a milder climate than the Red Sea coast during summer. The area is dotted with five-star hotels, ready to welcome those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of mass destinations.
Western Desert
The Western Desert has 262,000 square kilometers of dunes, canyons, oases, mountain plateaus, and valleys that cover most of the land west of the Nile Valley. The White Desert landscape is magical, with limestone formations reminiscent of gigantic mushrooms and fjords. For a different experience, organize a visit or stay at one of the five oases!
