Indulge in our Wonders of Egypt and Red Sea tour to visit the country’s must-see sights, passing through Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada.
Upon your arrival in Cairo, enjoy a day on site with a French-speaking Egyptologist guide to discover the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, as well as another exceptional place, to choose from between the Citadel & the Mohamed Ali Mosque, the mystical Cairo Museum or the Step Pyramids of Saqqara.
Then fly to Aswan to discover the largest unfinished obelisk, the city’s Great Dam, and the incredible Philae Temple in the middle of the water. You can also add a visit to the city of Abu Simbel Temple as an optional extra.
While visiting Kom Ombo and Edfu, travel towards Luxor. There, you’ll have the option of taking a hot air balloon ride before exploring the immense Karnak Temple, one of Egypt’s largest temples. Next, visit the famous Valley of the Kings and, after passing the Colossi of Memnon, head to the renowned Temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
End your sightseeing with a beautiful boat trip on the Nile along the banks of Luxor before heading towards Hurghada with your private driver.
While in Hurghada, enjoy various must-do activities such as a quad bike safari in the desert with a visit to a Bedouin village, a day at sea to meet dolphins in their natural environment, and finally a boat trip to discover snorkeling, with a stop at one of the famous Orange Bay or Paradise islands.
For this tour, it is entirely possible to add “off” days or other activities that you might like to do in Hurghada.
