Egypt Travel Information

On one of our many Egypt Tours you will see the mysterious Nile River, the world's longest river. 

It flows from Lake Victoria in East Africa to its mouth at the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt. It passes through rainforest, mountain, savanna, and swamp until, on the final leg of its journey, it winds its way through Egypt like a giant snake, passing through some of the driest desert on earth. With a name from a Greek word meaning "river valley," the Nile River played a crucial role in the founding of Egyptian civilization.

Mount Sinai is where Moses received the 10 Commandments from God and Abu Simbel, in the south of Egypt below Aswan, is home to the jaw-dropping Temple of Ramses II. A popular way to explore Egypt is by taking a cruise down the River Nile. Not only is it the longest River in the world, it is also incredibly beautiful and a great way to relax and watch ancient Egypt unfold before your eyes.

From typical Egyptian foods like rice, Pita bread (aysh) and fava beans, you should also try special dishes such as roasted ground lamb, vegetable casserole, and stuffed, grilled pigeon. Desserts like Ahwa and Baklava are also local favorites and don’t miss out on Egyptian coffee as it is well known delicious taste.
