Embrace your inner explorer on your Cairo holidays as you discover ancient tombs, towering temples - dedicated to mighty Pharaohs and the winding river Nile that carves a path through sun-baked landscapes. There is so much to see here, from the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos to the legendary Sphinx; the ancient Valley of the Kings to the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel. In Cairo, chaos is king and a cacophony of noises from honking horns, calls to prayer and rattling donkey carts - rush through the city day and night. Soak up the crackling energy of this magnificently mad metropolis and then enjoy some peace and quiet as you drift along the Nile in the Steam Ship Sudan. Visit from October to May and you’ll be met with a milder climate, perfect for exploring in comfort without the kiln-hot heat of the summer months cooking you from the inside out.
Anyone with a love of history will find plenty to delight on their Cairo holidays. Unveil legends and tales of ancient Egypt as you spend your days gazing at awe-inspiring sites from honey-hued Saqqara - a vast burial ground, to the towering columns of Karnak (134 in total), and the mighty temple of Abu Simbel. Meanwhile, anyone with a love of the coast will enjoy a trip to the Red Sea for days filled with beach bathing, snorkelling and diving. Hikers will be in their element following trails that criss-cross Mount Sinai while those who prefer a spot of urban strolling can delve deep into Cairo to discover its picture-perfect palaces and age-old districts.
Discover Egypt’s beating heart on a visit to Cairo, a colourful, crazy, captivating city that will awaken your senses and leave you buzzing with energy. Combine it with a cruise on the Nile aboard our steamer the SS Sudan for the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation on your holidays. Back on terra firma, drive from Cairo to Alexandria with a guide to see a snapshot of the country as it shoots past the windows. If the Nile continues to beckon, venture to Aswan in the south of the country and cruise downstream towards Lake Nassar to discover Lower Nubia and the temple of Abu Simbel.
