EGYPT
Egypt - the very name conjures images of treasure,
mystery and the mighty river Nile, the life blood of this arid country. Egypt
has long acted as a magnet for travellers from all over the world, thanks to its
fascinating and awe-inspiring monuments, its dramatic landscape and its
intrinsic sense of history.
Choose to visit the Cairo Museum and witness the wealth of Tutankhamun’s tomb, or take a camel ride to the nearby pyramids and stand beneath the gaze of the Sphinx. Why not fly on to Luxor to join a vessel for a Nile cruise, or take a guided tour of the gigantic Temple of Karnak with its forests of columns and the great court of the Temple of Luxor.
For a different view of Egypt, board a hot air balloon bound for the Valleys of the Kings and Queens, to see the magnificent mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the brilliant painted tombs of nobles and kings.
