After feasting on delicious food and dessert, you’ll have time to relax, enjoy an Egyptian drink, and chat with family members to learn about Egypt’s culture and what life is like for women in the Middle East. This is your opportunity to ask everything you want to know about Egyptian life, so don’t be shy!
Your Cairo food adventure will introduce you to true Egyptian hospitality, traditions, and even the local sense of humor as you sit back and sip a cup of Egypt’s famous mint tea or Egyptian coffee. If you’re feeling competitive, have a go at a game of Backgammon – but be warned, it’s hard to beat an Egyptian at their favorite game!
Once you’ve finished your evening and experienced the genuine warmth of this Egyptian family, you’ll bid ma’ salama (goodbye) to new friends and be taken back to your hotel.
Get a true taste for life in Aswan by sharing an authentic Nubian meal with a local family. Stroll the Nile River’s Elephantine Island like a true Nubian, chat with locals about their history and traditions, and find out why the people of Aswan are famous for their friendliness and incredible hospitality!
Imagine your entire village was moved from its ancestral lands because a dam was being constructed. This is the story of the Nubians in Southern Egypt, who were relocated to in the 1960s to the area around Aswan city.
On this Aswan tour, you’ll have the opportunity to not only eat delicious home cooked Nubian food, but also have the privilege of learning about the people, culture, history, and traditions of Aswan. We’ll visit a Nubian family in their home and experience some traditional hospitality. As a guest, you’re welcome to ask as many questions as you like! Learn about their lives and culture, and about the different Nubian tribes living around Elephantine Island.
Your Home Cooked Aswan tour will take you on a stroll around Elephantine Island before settling in for a shared meal with a local family. The styles and colours of the homes in this community cannot be found anywhere else in Egypt, so you’ll want to keep your camera ready!
Then, after we’ve walked and explored, it’s time to eat! The types of dishes you’ll be offered are among the most favourite delicacies for Nubians. You might get to sample dishes like Bird’s Tongue Soup (don’t worry, there are no tongues involved), or maybe some rice with vermicelli, oven-cooked chicken, Nile perch, and mixed vegetables. But no matter what’s on the menu, be aware that Nubians like to eat a lot — so be prepared and come hungry!

This trip will take you to Makadi Water World – Egypt’s biggest waterpark. It’s packed with 50 family-friendly slides, including adrenalin-pumpers like the Twister, Space Boat, Wave Slide and Turbo Tunnel. From the top of the tallest slides, you get 360-degree desert and sea views. You can also expect classics like multi-racers and the plunging Kamikaze. On top of all that, there’s a separate area for children who prefer arm bands to fast rides – a giant pirate ship sprouting slides and water fountains steals the show. Lunch is served at the snack bar, where pizzas, pasta, ice cream and waffles are on the menu.
Just so you know, the Space Hole has a height restriction of 160cm, and 17 of the bigger adults slides have a height restriction of 120cm. The mini-slides and water features have an age restriction of either 4 or 7 years, and some plays areas have no age restriction at all. Children must have an adult with them.
Today, you’ll learn more about Egypt’s most famous pharaoh, before coming face-to-face with some spectacular relics from the ancient era. The morning begins with a drive to a newly-opened tomb that’s an exact replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber. The boy king is the country’s most famous, and his real tomb has suffered damage over the years because of the huge numbers of visitors it has drawn in. This lookalike version is made to exact standards, and has an adjoining museum showcasing preservation efforts on the real thing. Later, you’ll stop by the house of the man who found King Tut’s tomb, Howard Carter, before arriving at Luxor Museum. It’s smaller than Cairo’s famous collection of ancient artefacts, but Luxor Museum prides itself on its neat arrangement of high-quality, well-preserved pieces.
On the east bank of the Nile lays the museum that featured displays of well-preserved human and animal mummies. As its name implies this museum is dedicated to the ancient Egyptian art of mummification with several of tools used in the process on exhibit. On display are the well-preserved mummies of the 21st dynasty high priest of Amun. Maserharti, and a host of mummified animals.
This action-packed trip takes you into the Hurghada desert on just about every type of transport available – from camel to quad bike. Your guides will start the afternoon with a health and safety briefing and a quick quad bike driving test, before leading you out into the desert. This changeable countryside covers pancake-flat desert, rocky roads and rolling hills. Back at the quad station, you’ll get a drink before climbing into a spider car – a skeletal-looking 4-wheel drive. After 20 minutes or so you’ll switch to double and triple-wheeled tank cars. Horse and camel riding comes next – a traditional mode of travel that’ll get you in the mood for the upcoming buffet dinner and live show. Grilled meats, kofta and rice dominate the food spread, while entertainment comes in the shape of traditional dance troupes. A spot of stargazing rounds the night off.
This daytrip combines a cruise along the world’s longest river with a sightseeing tour of one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient sites. From the harbour in Luxor, you’ll board a river cruise ship and waft down the Nile to Dendera. En route, keep a look out for traditional settlements along the river’s banks – you might see women washing in the shallows, or farmers tending to their crops. Once you’ve moored, it’s on to Dendera Temple. The main temple is one of the only ancient temples in Egypt that still has its original ceiling. It was once emblazoned with a sculptured relief of the zodiac, which is now on display in Paris’ Louvre. You’ll be guided around the complex, with the colourful reliefs and hieroglyphics deciphered for you. Lunch will be served onboard the cruise, before you make the return journey as the sun sets.
Up for a magical history tour? Then this great value trip takes you by road to Luxor for the most enthralling history lesson ever. The temples, tombs and monuments here date back a whopping 4,000 years or so, when ancient Thebes, Egypt’s Pharaoh capital, was in its prime. You’ll kick off at the spine-tingling Valley of Kings, the last resting place of the Pharaohs. Here, the limestone hills house 62 maze-like tombs, each built to see their revered inhabitants safely into the afterlife. While you’re here, you’ll also see the humungous twin statues of the Colossi of Memnon, built to guard the necropolis, and the stunning Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. This three-tiered mortuary sits beneath a 300-foot rock and is fronted by incredible colonnades. Then after a tasty lunch, get your cameras ready for Karnak. Just outside the city, this jaw-dropping temple is crammed full of skyscraping pillars, chapels and statues. After collecting your jaw from the floor, it’s time to reboard your coach for your journey back. Oh, and if you fancy doing things style, how about a VIP package? This includes your own chauffeured car, driver and personal guide in Luxor.
