Why visit Egypt
Ancient history, living culture and river journeys that bring Egypt’s stories to life
Egypt is one of the world’s great destinations for archaeology, with landmarks that have shaped history for thousands of years. In Cairo, guided tours often focus on the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, alongside collections at the Grand Egyptian Museum and the atmosphere of local markets. Further south, Luxor is known for temple complexes and the Valley of the Kings, where richly decorated tombs reveal the beliefs and power of ancient rulers. Aswan adds a calmer pace, with river views and sites such as Philae Temple on Agilika Island. Nile cruising is a highlight of many Egypt tours, offering a scenic thread through the country’s most celebrated antiquities. For a different contrast, some itineraries include time in Hurghada on the Red Sea, or journeys into desert landscapes, including Bahariya Oasis and the White Desert.
