Egypt luxury Holidays

For millennia the iconic sights of Egypt, from the timeless pyramids of Giza to the dazzling colour of the pharaohs' tombs, have held visitors in their sway.  Never more so than today – holidays in Egypt remain our most popular. With the country's unrivalled legacy brought alive by the finest Egyptologists coupled with our unparalleled quality of service and the best boats on the Nile, it is easy to see why.

An Egypt luxury holiday with Abercrombie & Kent is enhanced by our unique access to the people and places that make Egypt special.

Begin your holiday in Egypt in the vibrant city of Cairo where our guides will unpeel layer after layer of history - taking you back in time from Ottoman Mashrabiyya to Mamluk mosques and through to the Fatimid Citadel. Importantly, spare some time for the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and the breathtaking beauty of a small statue of Thutmosis III.

In Luxor, the world's greatest open air museum, gasp in awe at the Temple of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings.  In picturesque Aswan, home to the evocative white sail of the felucca, board and savour a Nile cruise to see Egypt from the luxury of one of our boats.

End your Egypt luxury holiday with a trip to see the bizarre and surreal rock formations of the White Desert, dive the colourful corals of the Red Sea or simply soak up the year-round sun on its sandy beaches.

Pricing
At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, a 7 night journey in Egypt can be arranged from £2,398 per person based on two adults sharing with flights from the UK and subject to availability.

Actually two temples, namely the Great Temple of Ra-Harakhte, fronted by the four colossal statues of Ramses II and the Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Ramses' favourite wife Queen Nefertari, they were moved to their current location when the creation of Lake Nasser threatened their existence.
