EXPLORE A WHOLE NEW WORLD
EGYPT: Felucca Adventure
Egypt is one of the closest destinations to the UK for virtually guaranteed September sun. The Egyptian pound also still offers good value for money meaning the destination is also great value on the ground. A two-day Felucca cruise along the Nile is one of the trip’s highlights, with other forms of transport including train, horse-drawn carriage and donkeys - all of which help to immerse travellers in to the Egyptian way of life. This 10-day trip includes all of Egypt’s iconic sights, including the pyramids, the Sphinx, Aswan, the Valley of the Kings, the temples at Luxor, plus Cairo, where there is free time to explore and test haggling skills at the bazaars.
