A Journey to the Heart of History and Culture

Taking a trip to Egypt to discover the land of the pharaohs is something we've all dreamed of at some point. However, the country's recent history has often led some to postpone their trip. Now, the country is once again ready to welcome enthusiasts of ancient civilizations.

The Unmissable Sites in Egypt

Alexandria is a cosmopolitan port city where different cultures blend, creating a unique atmosphere distinctly different from that of Cairo, the capital. To realize this, just visit the bustling markets of Alexandria. Do not miss the Qaitbay Fort, one of the wonders of the world, offering sublime views of Alexandria and the Mediterranean Sea. The temples of Abu Simbel, carved into the rock by Ramses II, are located about 300 km from Aswan. These edifices of ancient Egypt are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. About 25 km from Cairo are the pyramids of Giza, among the most famous archaeological sites in the world. The pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure stand majestically in the desert. During your visit, soak up the place by taking a camel ride.

Unexplored Egypt: Hidden Treasures and Unique Adventures

Sailing on the Nile aboard the Steam Ship Sudan is a unique experience. Unlike a classic cruise, this 19th-century steamship offers a real journey back in time. You can admire the Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings during your journey. It was aboard this ship that Agatha Christie found inspiration for her novel "Death on the Nile." The Aswan souk, stretching along the corniche for several kilometers, is one of the liveliest in Egypt. Known for its multicolored stalls and varied spices, it promises an exotic stroll. In El Gouna, a charming town 20 km from Hurghada, dive into the Red Sea. Explore the Abu Nuhas reef, a marine cemetery rich in wrecks near magnificent coral gardens. After kilometers of Egyptian desert, the Red Sea presents itself as a true oasis.

An unforgettable experience among the locals

The hospitality and sense of service are striking in Egypt. It is not uncommon that, lost at a turn of a path, in an oasis or village, or even in a temple guardian's hut, you are invited to share a mint tea. They inquire about you with keen interest. The farewells will be all the more heartfelt when you take leave of your impromptu host. Even if your paths never cross again, you will retain the taste of a shared complicity for a moment.
