Egypt, from the pyramids to the banks of the Nile

Egypt is one of the oldest travel destinations in the world, and one of the closest to Saudi Arabia: about two hours on a direct flight from Jeddah, one language, and a cuisine close to Gulf taste. More than 5,000 years of recorded history meet a varied landscape that runs from the Nile Valley to the desert oases and the shores of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.

In Cairo and Giza you stand before the pyramids and the Sphinx, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, fully opened in November 2025, then walk through historic Cairo between Al-Azhar, Al-Muizz Street and Khan el-Khalili. In Upper Egypt, Luxor and Aswan hold what is often called the largest open-air museum in the world: Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Philae and Abu Simbel, with the Nile between them, crossed by felucca or on a luxury cruise from temple to temple.

On the Red Sea, Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada offer fine resorts and some of the best coral reefs anywhere, while Dahab and Siwa give calm and untouched nature: Dahab with its turquoise water and the Sinai mountains behind it, Siwa with its palm groves, springs and salt lakes among the dunes. Alexandria, the bride of the Mediterranean, adds its modern library, the Citadel of Qaitbay and the royal palaces by the sea.

We arrange your Egypt journey the way you want it: historic hotels facing the pyramids or the Nile, Arabic-speaking Egyptologist guides, private cars, domestic flights between Cairo and Upper Egypt, and visiting hours planned around the midday heat, prayer times and the family's pace.
