Home to some of the world’s best-known archaeological treasures, Egypt is a simply fantastic destination for school groups. After a visit to the amazing Pyramids at Giza, our journey continues by overnight train to Aswan on the River Nile. Traditional river boats known as feluccas provide the transport from here as we sail downstream, stopping off to visit colourful Nubian villages, stroll amongst groves of date palms and explore monuments dating from the time of the Pharoahs. Combining a series of day-hikes with an authentic Nile cruise, this is a great way to experience the magic of Egypt.Civilization flourished in Egypt 5000 years ago, a simply amazing fact that is more easily understood after travelling widely through this magnificent desert land.
Amend or Extend
Allow extra days for further exploration of the major sites of the Nile Valley or for a visit to Hurghada on the Red Sea, where swimming, snorkelling and topping up the tan provide a suitably relaxing finale to the trip.
