About this trip
This 10-day private tour moves from the ancient monuments of Cairo and Alexandria out into the quieter landscapes of Egypt's Western Desert. It's built for travellers who want to see the country's major historical sites without the hassle of organising transport and guides themselves.

It suits families or small private groups looking for a comfortable, well-organised way into Egypt's history and geography, from UNESCO-listed sites to remote desert scenery.
