How to choose your trip to Egypt

Most adventure travel tours to Egypt are focused on the Nile Valley, with its extraordinary historical riches and the chance to sail on one of the world's iconic rivers. Other tour options include the Sinai Peninsula or the lesser visited Western Desert, both of which can also be combined with the Nile Valley for a more comprehensive exploration of the country.

Enjoy an inspiring boat journey along one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines or greatest rivers. Sail along Mediterranean shorelines sprinkled with ancient sites, cruise through the wildlife haven of the Galapagos, relax aboard a traditional dhoni in the Maldives or experience the wonders of Egypt on a Nile cruise. Our boat journeys offer an appealing combination of activity, adventure, discovery and relaxation. You can enjoy shore excursions, exploring on foot, by bicycle or perhaps discovering the local history and culture, then return to your vessel to relax as you continue your journey. Wherever possible we charter small boats exclusively for the Explore group, helping to make our boat-based holidays more informal, relaxed and flexible. Small boat journeys are a very different experience from cruising on large ships, where the sheer logistics of managing hundreds of people at mealtimes and on shore excursions can make the holiday feel busy and inflexible.
