Meticulously planned and led by expert, companionable lecturers, our small-group tours to Egypt explore the many remarkable archaeological sites of this fascinating country.
We visit places as renowned as Luxor, Abu Simbel, Denderah and Giza on our guided tours. Egypt’s lesser known sites are also on our itineraries, including St Catherine’s Monastery on Mt Sinai in Sinai, the spectacular Roman ruins of Umm-el-Dabadib in Deserts & Oases, and not forgetting Cairo, with its unrivalled Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. Our guided tours to Egypt include the outstanding royal tombs at Tell al-Amarna and the fossils site of Qasr Sagha in the Exploring Middle Egypt tour.

- A comprehensive introduction to Pharaonic Egypt visiting the principal sites from Giza to Abu Simbel.
