Travel back in time in Giza – from the Pyramids to the Nile

Egypt means historic artefacts and grandiose diving areas – for hospitality and historical wealth. With so many options, how are you supposed to choose just one? Cairo awakens all the senses with its vibrant streets and colourful bazaars, such as the Chan El Chalili Souk – time stands still when visiting the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza. It is hard to imagine that these man-made masterpieces were built more than 4,500 years ago.

From Cairo, take the Nile cruise to the south of Egypt. The amazement continues here: the imposing Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings in Luxor take you to another era – enjoy the palm-fringed waterfront landscapes along the way to Aswan and enjoy a dreamlike natural backdrop. Whatever the highlights of your holiday in Egypt, a world of wonder, beauty and inspiration awaits you.
