Your luxury Egypt holiday awaits

Luxor, luxury travel holiday, EgyptStatues at Abu Simbel, luxury travel holiday, Egypt

Bridging the northeast corner of Africa with the Middle East, Egypt isn’t merely a destination; it’s an encounter with time itself. The morning light here does not simply illuminate – it resurrects, bathing the temples of Luxor, gilding the waters of the Nile, and revealing a landscape that has witnessed the rise and fall of empires.

One of the world's oldest civilisations, Egypt holds a trove of antiquities. The ancient pyramids, like giant stone puzzles, stretch skywards as monuments to eternity, while the Nile snakes its way through the ochre canvas of the desert, and hieroglyphs transform mere walls into narratives of the gods.

In our view, no trip to Egypt is complete without a VIP tour of the Pyramids of Giza. Our advisors can arrange exclusive access to hidden chambers inside these iconic structures. From Alexandria’s lost lighthouse to the enigmatic gaze of the Sphinx, any visit to Egypt is a lesson in unveiling the past.

  • “For a true one-of-a-kind experience, soar over Luxor at sunrise in a hot air balloon. As the balloon gently lifts off, you’ll witness one of the world's greatest open-air museums. Float over the Valley of the Kings and the magnificent Temple of Karnak, while taking in the serenity and beauty of the ancient monuments from an entirely new perspective.”

    Craig Martin

  • “A showstopping Nile cruise/tour is perfect for discovering ancient Egyptian wonders as you glide along the longest river in the world. Enjoy some of the greatest architectural marvels ever built as you sail from historic Luxor to Aswan, ending with the spectacular temples of Abu Simbel, where you’ll be greeted by four giant sandstone statues of Ramses the Great.”
