The Nile & Sinai Safari Trek14 days - from $2230Enjoy the best of the Nile Valley and experience the Sinai with Bedouin guides This is a marvellous mix of Nile Valley splendour, compelling Sinai wilderness and Red Sea coast. In Cairo, the pyramids and Sphinx dazzle with their size and secrets, the Egyptian Museum with its treasures. In Luxor, the intricately detailed Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings inspire awe as much as the Nile itself – board your cruise boat and sail the great waterway south, to the Nubian capital of Aswan. Here there’s free time to visit Abu Simbel, before we return to Cairo to explore the labyrinthine wonders of the medieval city. Then on to the legendary Sinai – ascend Mount Sinai at dawn for an unforgettable sunrise over sublime desert, before enjoying lunch and a camel ride with new Bedouin friends. Later, relax in the chilled-out seaside town of Dahab, and spend more time in and out of the water at the snorkelling mecca and beach resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Highlights
