About this trip
Nineteen days across Egypt and Turkey, covering two countries that between them hold some of the most recognisable ancient sites in the world.
In Egypt you take in the Pyramids and Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, the temples of Luxor and Karnak, and Abu Simbel, then swap history for the Red Sea coast at Hurghada. A direct flight takes you on to Istanbul, followed by Cappadocia and Ephesus in Turkey.
It's a fully guided group trip pitched as easy-going and suitable for families, with the sightseeing broken up by a stretch of beach time by the Red Sea.

Worth it if you value seamless logistics, expert guides, and ticking off bucket-list sites. Think twice if you need downtime or dislike early starts on packed itineraries.
- Named guides (Anas, Ayman, Hassan) consistently praised as knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely supportive with logistics.
- Everything organized from start to finish—no stress, felt safe throughout, guides coordinated across multiple countries efficiently.
