On our private tour to Egypt, you can take your time at the Egyptian Museum to gaze at King Tut’s treasures and the mummy collection. On our active, organized Egypt adventures, you can ride a camel at the pyramids, visit the Sphinx and the famous Djoser Step Pyramid in Saqqara as well as the ancient capital, Memphis. You will take a Nile Cruise in a more intimate style, on a traditional felucca sailboat.  A visit to Abu Simbel, the mammoth UNESCO World Heritage Site is awe-inspiring.  Also not to be missed are the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hapsheptsut’s tomb, Karnak Temple and the Luxor Temple.  Explore Luxor by caleche (horse and carriage) and fill an afternoon at the Luxor Museum with an Egyptian art collection that should not be missed. Wind down on the Red Sea. Climb Mt. Sinai at sunrise, go snorkeling or diving in Hurghada.  A family vacation to Egypt will be action packed and will provide memories of a lifetime.
