Ancient Egypt - From Cairo to Abu Simbel
- A comprehensive introduction to Pharaonic Egypt visiting the principal sites from Giza to Abu Simbel.
- A full and busy tour but it avoids rush and allows time to contemplate and absorb.
- A well-planned land tour makes much better use of time than a Nile cruise.
PRE & POST
Mentioned below are other holidays that fall either side of this one. If you would like to book two or more holidays in a row, it will be your responsibility to make your own way between them, however we are happy to offer advice if necessary. The exceptions are tours that are specifically offered as 'pre-festival' or 'post-festival' tours – for these we provide a transfer between tour and festival where needed. Please note that our online booking process allows for only one tour to be booked at a time so please contact us if you would like to book more than 1 tour or music festival.

My first experience of a Martin Randall trip was very enjoyable; no detail was overlooked. We were unobtrusively looked after, never herded.J.K.-T., Denbighshire
What distinguishes Martin Randall from other tour operators is the participants it attracts; always congenial, well-educated, more eager to learn than indulge.W.T., Paris
