This trip teams snorkelling and swimming with the chance to spot pods of playful dolphins. Your boat will take you out to a coral reef, where you can pull on a mask and snorkel and join the colourful Red Sea residents underwater. After an hour or so it’s time for lunch on board, as we sail to our next snorkelling stop. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins as we glide along – they’ll often jump and flip over the waves. Another hour of snorkelling is up next, before we cruise back towards the marina at Marsa Alam.
You’ll tick off the iconic River Nile, and one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient sites on this overnight trip. You’ll be picked up after sundown and climb onboard a cruise ship, where you’ll be treated to dinner. Afterwards, it’s time to bed down for the night – your captain will set sail in the small hours, so you’ll wake up as you’re mooring in the city of Qena. After breakfast, you’ll disembark and drive to nearby Dendera. The temple here is considered to be one of the finest examples of Ancient Egyptian architecture that stands today – unlike most, its roof is still intact. You’ll have some time to wander through the chambers, admiring the detailed carvings and brightly-coloured hieroglyphics on the walls and ceilings. At the end of the day, you’ll return to the ship for lunch and sail back down to Luxor. You can upgrade this trip to All Inclusive, too, which gives you local beer, wine, hot and cold drinks on
You get two-for-one with this trip, which takes place over two consecutive mornings. Day one is all about exploring Luxor’s West Bank. You’ll have time to delve into the colourfully-decorated tombs of the great pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, as well as their wives’ counterparts in the Valley of the Queens. You’ll get to climb the steps of the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. And, you’ll have a photo stop under the towering Colossi of Memnon statues. On day two, you’ll visit the huge temples of Luxor’s East Bank. Highlights in the Karnak Temple complex include a guard-like line-up of sphinxes, a sacred lake, plus the Great Hypostyle Hall, where you can snake your way through the shadows of 134 enormous pillars. Later on, you’ll head to Luxor Temple. The two were once connected by an avenue lined with hundreds of sphinxes. Today, Luxor Temple is known for its statues of seated pharaohs, and walls that are covered in friezes an
This 2-hour quad bike tour will give you an overview of Marsa Alam’s mysterious desert landscape, with stop-offs that include an ancient Egyptian temple and a Bedouin village. First off, you’ll partner up with a quad bike, before setting out with a guide who’ll lead you along the dusty paths that wind through the desert and mountains surrounding Marsa Alam. After an hour’s drive, the group will take a break at a Bedouin village. Here, you’ll find out about their nomadic lives and try a cup of traditional hibiscus tea. There will also be time for a quick look at the sandy Karnak temples complex. The return journey is just as head-turning – it shows off dune-heaped desert and rusty mountains on all sides.

The Aswan High Dam. Philae Temple. And a train journey through the Egyptian countryside. They all line up on this day tour. Catching an early morning train from Luxor, you’ll clickety-clack past ancient villages and farmsteads on your way to Aswan. Once there, you'll visit Philae - a lovely island temple dedicated to the gods Isis and Osiris. You can almost cut the atmosphere with a knife as you wander around its gateways and colonnades. Your guided tour continues at the High Dam. Sweeping across the Nile, this monumental structure was completed in 1971 and created the world’s largest reservoir, Lake Nasser. After lunch at a local hotel, perhaps with time for a swim in its pool, enjoy a motorboat ride around the old cataracts where Agatha Christie wrote “Death On The Nile” - rocky outcrops where the Nile’s waters gush like mini-rapids.
