Overview
We combine a journey to capture the rich historical legacy of Egypt with a superb trek in the Sinai Desert. On the cultural stages of our itinerary we visit the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx; embark on a trip to Luxor and the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings and cruise down the Nile to enjoy the wonders of Pharaonic Egypt. By contrast our trek takes us deep into the desert landscape. In the company of our Bedouin guides we wander the wadis and ascend rocky vantage points to gain panoramic views of the Sinai Peninsula. At night we share Bedouin tales before completing an ascent of Mt Sinai, climbing the 750 steps to where the Ten Commandments were delivered to Moses.
