Egypt

Pharaohs & Coast: An Egyptian History & Sea Adventure

Start & end in Hurghada 9 days Up to 30

About this trip

This nine-day trip splits neatly in two: a few days deep in ancient Egypt around Cairo, then a stretch on the Red Sea coast to slow down and get in the water.

You'll stand before the Sphinx and spend time with the Egyptian Museum's collection before flying east to the coast, where the pace drops and the sea takes over.

Once there, it's your call how active to be — dive or snorkel the reefs, try optional water sports, or just settle onto a sunbed for a few days.

What you'll do

  • Stand in the shadow of the Sphinx
  • Explore artifacts at the Egyptian Museum
  • Fly to the Red Sea coast
  • Snorkel or dive among colourful marine life
  • Try optional water sports
  • Free days to relax by the sea
Good to know
  • Easy-paced trip suited to families and groups
  • Splits clearly into a guided history leg and a free-form beach leg
  • Water sports and diving are optional extras rather than included activities
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want genuinely knowledgeable guides who make you feel looked after. Think twice if you need hand-holding with logistics or prefer smaller group dynamics.

  • Guide Remon consistently singled out as exceptional, patient, knowledgeable, and able to make groups feel like family.
  • Strong educational content on ancient Egyptian history; reviewers felt they learned substantively, not just ticked boxes.
  • Company proactively adds touches for special occasions like honeymoons, showing attention to group composition.
  • Reviews are vague on actual itinerary pace, site quality, meals, accommodation, and costs—no concrete logistics detail offered.
