Sinai - Copts, Byzantines & Landcruisers

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.

Our lecturer was wonderful, a mine of information and fun.To see so much of Sinai, from desert mountain top to the sea, was fascinating.Just right for an introduction to Cairo and to the interior of the Sinai Peninsula.The lecturer was very knowledgeable; helpful and a pleasure to be with.
