Catherine –
Cairo is too busy but the monuments are fantastic,especially the pyramids.
Most of our small group tours use high quality hotels at the Egyptian 5-star level in Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada, all with swimming pools and a choice of restaurants and bars.
To all fans of ancient civilization, don’t miss the chance to discover the bride of Upper Egypt ‘El Minya’ where you can visit Tuna El Gabal, Beni Hassan and Tel Amarna.
