Egypt & North Africa

We recommend Egypt & North Africa for...

  • Cairo – the timeless pyramids and treasures in the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities
  • St Catherine Monastery – a great centre of religious pilgrimage
  • Daytime transit of the Suez Canal – one of the wonders of the modern world
  • Istanbul showcasing monuments from the Ottoman and Byzantine empires
  • Leptis Magna and Cyrene – two of North Africa’s most impressive archaeological sites

You can visit bustling cities like Cairo, Alexandria, Tripoli and Istanbul. Historic treasures abound; the Pyramids, the temples of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, the Roman city of Leptis Magna, the Rose Red City of Petra and the incredible ruins of Ephesus. The Crusades come alive in Latakia visiting Saladin's Castle, as do more recent conflicts at Gallipoli and Tripoli. Experience one of the great engineering achievements of the modern age sailing through the Suez Canal...
