any combination of the half day trips
Abydos
and Denderah - not to be missed: the Mecca
of ancient Egypt, with the most amazing reliefs and
colours, and the healing temple of the goddess of
love and beauty!
More Amazingly Wonderful Tiny Temples, Tombs and
Shrines - well we said there were lots of them,
didn't we? ;-)
Unseen Aswan - visit the ignored wonders of
Aswan, Kalabsha, Elephantine, and the Nubian Museum.
Ramesses the Great, Father & Son, and the last
great Ramessid - the masterful mortuary temples
of Seti I, Ramesses II, Merenptah and Medinet Habu,
where the last great Ramessid (RIII) made his mark.
From Cairo:
Bubastis and Tanis - unseen by most visitors,
the Temple of the cat goddess Bast and the capital
of Ramesses the Great are amazing sights to behold
- plus the trip there takes you through a very different
and fascinating Egypt!
Hunting the Pyramid Builders: Saqqara, Meidum
& Dahshur - follow the evolution of the pyramids,
from the Step Pyramid at Saqqara to the majestic tumble
of Meidum and the Red and Bent Pyramids of Dahshur
- and if we can get it opened up, the so-called (but
still impressive!) decline at Abusir.

Half days |
Medamud - sister temple to Al Tod, about 30 minutes outside Luxor but in the other direction, beautifully preserved and with amazing life-like sphinxes.
Garagos – close to Luxor lies this charming village that is the heart of a thriving pottery industry set up by Catholic Monks in the 19th century. Come see the monastery at its heart, the potters at their work, and shop in its dusty storerooms for ceramic treasures!
Ramesses the Great, Father & Son - the mortuary temples of these three giants: Seti I, Ramesses II and Merenptah.
Amazingly Wonderful Tiny Temples, Tombs and Shrines - dotted through the Theban hills are lots of tiny treasures; come and see!
Walk the Wadi - walk through an amazing lunar landscape to the very interesting tomb of Ay, the successor of Tut-Anch-Amun; and for the spiritually minded we can end with a guided meditation in this awe-inspiring place.
The outskirts of Karnak - the outer precincts of this famous temple hold many surprises and magical sites.
Malqata Magic - explore the only pharaonic palace left in Egypt, climb the hills that hold more mysteries and feel the hot breath of the Sahara.
Climb the Mountain - from Deir el Medina, the village of the ancient workers, climb the famous Theban hills, following in their footsteps, and enjoy an overview of this mystical place - and did you know you can find lots of real fossils on this high desert mountain? Out of this world!
Astonishing Asasif - the most exquisite reliefs in an unexpected place - watch where you step though!
Authentic Upper Egypt - enter a world not for tourists, a world of simple pleasures, calm contentment and daring stick-dancing.
Soar Above It All: Balloons Rule! 'nuff said: what could be more magical than to take it all in from a higher viewpoint?
Pamper Your Spirit - treat yourself to some of the wonderful spiritual experiences on our menu: tarot, guided meditations, Reiki, and lots more! And to add to the magic, this can all be done in desert locations.
Savour the Souk – do you fancy some marvellous souvenirs but are you daunted by the idea of shopping in Egypt, with its different customs of pushy salesmen, haggling, bargaining and play-acting? Then come with us on a guided shopping excursion in the Luxor souk and beyond, well-protected by our years of shopping expertise. Enter without fear this world of fabulous treasures and trinkets, sights, smells and sounds!

any combination of the above
Dahabeeya Dream - oh, those Victorians knew
how to travel in style: the sailing vessels they used
for their months-long explorations of Egypt are again
en vogue, and the experience of sailing on them is
one of the best in the world. Plus it affords you
the privilege of visiting sites like Silsila and El
Kab, which are otherwise hard or impossible to get
to!
Desert
at Leisure - explore all the oases (Kharga,
Dakhla, Farafra, Bahariya) between Luxor and Cairo
(or vice versa) and the sights and wonders they hold.
See the simple life led in these fertile spots surrounded
by sand, and see the amazing spectacles of the White
and Black Deserts and Crystal Mountain!
Lake Nasser - sail from Aswan to Abu Simbel
on a sumptuous cruise boat (ooooh, the food!), feel
the vastness of this man-made body of water and the
contrast of it to the desert that surrounds it, and
explore the re-located ancient sites that will have
you dazzled and amazed!

All of our trips up to three days require a minimum
of two people (or an increase in the price, sorry
but that's life for the single traveller unfortunately).
All the Dahabeeya trips require 4-6 people minimum,
due to the mode of transport (you have to hire the
whole boat). Single supplement applies to any trip
that includes an overnight stay. Travel and any other
insurance is the traveller's own responsibility -
please see our Frequently Asked
Questions for more.
