Egypt
Pyramids, Nile temples, Red Sea reefs, and desert oases — Egypt rewards first-timers and return visitors alike.
Egypt is a destination of scale: the Giza Plateau at sunrise, Karnak’s columns at Luxor, and felucca sails on the Nile near Aswan. Pair the classic circuit with a Red Sea stop or a quieter oasis like Siwa when you have the days.
Most visitors fly into Cairo. Domestic flights or overnight trains cut the Luxor–Aswan leg; Abu Simbel is easiest as a dawn flight or convoy from Aswan. Book licensed guides for the major sites — queues and heat reward an early start.
