Egypt: Custom Luxury Journey

The regularity and richness of the annual Nile River flood, coupled with semi-isolation provided by deserts to the east and west, allowed for the development of one of the world’s great civilizations.

Now is definitely the right time to visit Egypt as there are far fewer tourists than there used to be. It is a spiritual experience to walk up and touch 4,500 years of history as you gaze up at the Sphinx and the three great Giza pyramids, letting your imagination run wild as to just how they were built!

A leisurely boat journey down the Nile, typically starting in Luxor and ending in Aswan at the high dam is a trip back through time, visiting historic sights along the way, while farmers tend their crops on the riverbanks, as they have done for thousands of years. You can have your choice of luxury boats with Casinos, or Dahabiyas – old sailing boats – to add to the character.

There is much else to do also, such as visiting remote oases, or take a fishing safari for giant Nile Perch on the Aswan dam.
