Egypt
Egypt is the oldest tourist destination on earth. Ancient Greeks and Romans started the trend, coming to marvel at the Pyramids and the Colossi of Thebes.
SYRIA
Today, the attractions of the country are not only the monuments of the Nile Valley, the souks and mosques, but the natural wonders of the Red Sea, Sinai and the Eastern and Western deserts. Known as the City of Minarets', Cairo is a must for many visitors attracted by the famous Pyramids at Giza, the Sphinx and the myriad of treasures at the Egyptian Museum. Luxor o ers truly amazing sightseeing on the open-air stage of the west bank of the Nile and the famous temples of Karnak and Luxor. Stroll along the wide corniche that borders the Nile or bargain in the bazaars. The relatively small town of Aswan with its striking views, busy market and beautiful river islands can be reached under the billowing sails of the feluccas. From here you can journey to the magnicent Abu Simbel. You may choose to see the best of the Nile from one of our Nile Cruise vessels, gliding down this mighty river as many have done for centuries. If it is relaxation you are after then look no further than the Red Sea with its blue water, white sand, colourful coral and laid back lifestyle.
