Holidays To Egypt

Egypt Holidays With Mapping Your Travel

Egypt is a land steeped in history. With its captivating ancient monuments, sandy beaches, and vibrant culture, Egypt has something for every traveller. Whether you're an adventure seeker, a history enthusiast, or just looking to unwind by the Red Sea, Egypt offers it all. Explore the wonders of the pyramids of Giza or sail down the Nile River, Egypt is an unmissable holiday!

Here are some of the best ways to experience Egypt:

1. Nile Cruises: Discover Egypt’s Ancient Heart

A Nile Cruise is the perfect way to immerse yourself in Egypt’s rich history while enjoying a luxurious and relaxing holiday. A Nile cruise usually starts from either Luxor or Aswan, two of Egypt’s most historically significant cities. 

What You’ll See:

  • Luxor: The heart of ancient Egypt, home to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple & Luxor Temple. These grand monuments will transport you back in time, and with a guided tour, you'll be able to discover the secrets behind Egypt’s past. We always recommend joining a group tour to visit these monuments.

  • Edfu: The beautifully preserved Temple of Horus is a highlight, and you'll have the opportunity to explore its massive columns and intricate carvings.

  • Kom Ombo: Here you can visit the Temple of Sobek, which was dedicated to both the crocodile god and the falcon god, Horus.

  • Aswan: Known for its peaceful atmosphere and stunning landscapes, Aswan is home to the beautiful Philae Temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, as well as the High Dam, one of Egypt's most impressive modern engineering feats. Aswan was one of our favourite spots in Egypt. We enjoyed a day trip from here to the mighty Abu Simble Temple. Read our Egypt Blog post to discover more. 

We work with many Nile Cruise suppliers and specialists. Get in touch to start your Egypt adventure:

2. Egypt Small Group Tours: Get Off the Beaten Track

If you want to explore Egypt beyond the usual tourist hotspots, a small group tour is the way to go. These tours take you off the beaten path, offering intimate, guided experiences that allow you to discover hidden gems. We enjoyed a small group tour to Egypt with the wonderful G-Adventures. Read our Egypt blog to discover more here.


3. Cairo City Break: Where Ancient and Modern Meet

Cairo, Egypt’s bustling capital, is a city that blends ancient wonders with modern vibrancy. A short city break to Cairo offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and adventure.

Top Attractions in Cairo:

  • The Pyramids of Giza: The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Sphinx, and the Pyramid of Khafre are world-renowned and should be at the top of your list. 

  • Egyptian Museum: This treasure trove houses thousands of artifacts, including the famous treasures of King Tutankhamun.

  • Islamic Cairo: Explore the vibrant old city, full of mosques, markets, and Islamic architecture. Visit the Citadel, which offers panoramic views of the city.

Cairo is an energetic city with a unique charm, offering a mix of ancient monuments, local life, and urban excitement. We recommend joining a small group tour while visiting Cairo.

4. Egypt All-Inclusive Resorts: Sun, Sea, and Scuba Diving

Egypt is home to many beach resorts, offering all-inclusive packages perfect for those who want to relax and indulge. Best known for its Red Sea coastline, Egypt is a diver’s paradise with its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life.

Top All-Inclusive Resorts:

  • Sharm El Sheikh: Famous for its luxury resorts, crystal-clear waters, and world-class diving. Visit Ras Mohammed National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to see coral reefs.

  • Hurghada: Known for its amazing diving spots and vibrant nightlife, Hurghada offers both relaxation and adventure. The nearby Giftun Island is a paradise for snorkelers and divers.

  • Marsa Alam: A quieter alternative to Sharm El Sheikh, this destination is perfect for those seeking a more laid-back experience. Known for its coral reefs and secluded beaches, it’s ideal for snorkeling and diving.

Egypt’s Red Sea resorts offer a range of activities, from sailing and kite surfing to luxurious spa treatments. Dive into the rich underwater world and witness stunning coral reefs and colourful marine life.
