Cairo
Stay from
Cairo, one of the largest cities in both Africa and the Middle East, is the capital of Egypt. Cairo has been a centre of great importance to many civilisations, cultures and religions. From Pharaonic and Greco-Roman to Ottoman and European, and passing by Jewish, Christian, and Islamic, each of its identities has left a strong imprint on Cairo, thus making it one of the most fascinating cities in the world. The Giza Plateau, that includes the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, is the only remaining monuments of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the country's most famous tourist attraction. The sheer mass of the pyramids is awe inspiring. Islamic Cairo, the centre of historic Cairo, is best done on foot. Located east of downtown, it is full of charming little mosques and water fountains. The most important sites to visit are the Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque, Khan el Khalili, the main bazaar, some historic mosques and displays of medieval architecture, as well as some of Cairo's Turkish baths or Hammams. No visit to Cairo is complete without seeing the Egyptian Museum. Exotic atmosphere, chaotic traffic, thousands of minarets, noise, charming people, Cairo is a fascinating city. Few cities in the world surpass Cairo in number of monuments or architectural styles. Cairo is not an ordinary city, Cairo is a whole world. - 01 Nov

Day Tour to Fayoum Oasis from Cairo
Experience

Escape the bustle of the capital on a full-day tour to Fayoum Oasis from Cairo, a journey into one of Egypt's oldest inhabited regions. Known in Ancient Egypt as Shedet, called Crocodilopolis by the Greeks, Arsinoë by the Romans, and Madinat Al Fayoum by the Arabs, Fayoum was once the seat of worship of the crocodile god Sobek, and this private tour with an expert guide brings that layered history to life across several fascinating sites.
The day begins with an early pick up from your hotel in Giza or Cairo at around 07:00, followed by the drive out to Fayoum. The first stop is the Museum of Kom Aushim, an excellent introduction to the region, exhibiting artefacts spanning from Prehistoric to Roman times, including the striking Fayoum portraits. From there, the tour continues to Karanis, once known as "The Lord's Town" and among the largest Greco-Roman cities in Fayoum, founded in the third century BC and originally home to the mercenaries of Ptolemy II's army - its ruins still include two ancient temples.
Next on the itinerary is Hawara, also known as Arsinoiton Polis, site of the pyramid complex built by Amenemhet III during the twelfth dynasty. The tour then heads to Qarun Lake, named after the king said to have been buried nearby with his gold and riches, where lunch is served at a local restaurant overlooking the water. The day continues with a visit to Wadi El Rayan and its waterfall, a striking depression 42 metres below sea level covering an area of 673 square kilometres, which became a water reservoir in 1966 when it was connected to Qarun Lake by underground pipes.
After a full day exploring the temples, ruins, and natural landscapes of Fayoum Oasis, the tour heads back to Cairo, rounding off a rewarding excursion through ancient history and desert scenery just outside the capital.

Aswan

Aswan is a city in the south of Egypt, some 680km south of Cairo, just below the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, with a population of 275,000. Aswan is far more relaxed and smaller than Cairo and Luxor. Aswan is the smallest of the three major tourist cities on the Nile. Aswan is calming and relaxing and has a laid-back feel to it. Aswan has some unique gems. Rock cut monument Abu Simbel, to the south is one of Egypt's most daring symbols of Egyptian power. The sanctuary temples of Philae and Kalabsha present excursions reminiscent of Greece. Other places worth visiting in Aswan include: The dual temples of sobek and horus at Kwam Umbu, and the well preserved temple of horus at Idfu. Aswan is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Nile. - 04 Nov

Luxor consists of the City of Luxor on the East side of the Nile, the town of Karnak just north of Luxor and Thebes on the west side of the Nile across from Luxor. The Valley of Kings is one of the main reason why tourists come to Luxor. It is an enormous place full of various different sized tombs, which were lavishly constructed for the powerful Pharaohs, queens, and nobles. King Tutankhamen tomb was found here in the 1920's almost untouched. Other major attractions in Luxor are: the temple complexes of Luxor and Karnak, Medinet Habu, the Tombs of the Nobles, The Ramesseum Temple and the Valley of the Queens.Beautiful and ancient, Luxor is the world's best collection of antiquities. - 07 Nov
Soma Bay
Stay from
The Ras Abu Soma promontory and the bay of Soma are known as “Soma Bay”, an area located close to the town of Safaga and approx. 50 km away from Hurghada. The peninsula hosts a self-contained luxury holiday resort with a superior 5-star standard and a marina. Further high-standard hotel facilities are situated along the bay. The touristic activities around the bay focus on diving, golfing, surfing and wellness. Excursions with dive boats to the coral reefs near the beach are very popular due to the high biodiversity.
