Egypt
Adventurous. Ancient. Intense. History collides with modernity in Egypt.
Pharaohs and Romans, the British and French – everyone has had a crack at ruling Egypt. The result? A fascinating mishmash of cultures. From the lush Nile Valley to the barren desert, from the pyramids to Cairo and Alexandria, the landscapes and backdrops leave photographers speechless.
Experiences
Journey in luxury along the River Nile on a private yacht; walk the ancient streets of Luxor, Aswan and Cairo; wander alone through empty temples, private archeological sites and closed museums with a world-renowned Egyptologist. Roll up your sleeves on a private archaeological dig; feast in spectacular locations; discover tombs and temples in Luxor; dance until dawn at the Abu Simbel sun festival; cruise the Red Sea on your yacht, to discover remote, pristine beaches, reefs, and dive sites; Take part in an Indiana Jones-style quest to unearth ancient relics.
Where to Stay
While there is no shortage of 5-star hotels through Egypt, for definitive privacy and adventure we recommend mixing up land time with some time aboard a private yacht.
When to Go
To avoid the pressing heat of summer aim for September to April. Sunbathe on the shores of the Red Sea from March but dive all year round.
