The Beauty & Mystery of Egypt - Episode 1

There’s no shortage of inspiration when it comes to exploring the beauty and mystery of Egypt.

Whatever your motivation for visiting — uninterrupted time with your loved ones, exploring an ancient civilization, or pursuing a lifelong dream of seeing the pyramids — we'll design a journey to Egypt that will ignite creativity, generate new-found energy, and instill appreciation and awe in all those who visit.

 Our experts provide entre to local people, places, and experiences that others only dream of, leaving our travelers with a new understanding and appreciation of an amazing variety of topics and experiences. From ancient Egypt to Modern Egypt to constantly evolving Egypt, our New York City team is in daily contact with our Cairo team to ensure that nothing goes awry whilst our travelers are in Egypt, adding an extra layer of comfort and safety.

We believe that both the calm and the wild untamed places of Egypt are like medicine for the soul. If you’ve stood at the edge of the Great Desert and felt goose bumps crawl up your arms, or looked up from between the paws of the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau and caught your heart in your throat, you’ll know what we mean.

Epic.  

That’s really the only way to describe the active adventures that await travelers in Egypt. We say it often but it’s true: here, you'll find some of the best outdoor playgrounds in the world. Made to be hiked, biked, rafted, ridden, scaled, fished, dived, flown over and more.

 A rich mosaic of cultures, religions and landscapes, a private Egypt tour presents the increasingly valuable opportunity to become a more educated world citizen.

In our signature, off-the-beaten path style, with local expert guidance, your private Egypt tour will unveil the time capsule that is Egypt, bringing to life its incredibly rich history, its timeless treasures, its cultures and traditions, and its unique and varied natural beauty.
