Cultural Tours in Egypt
Traditional Fezes and prayer rugs in Cairo's Khan el Khalili bazaar, EgyptBridging the trade route between Africa and the Middle East, Egypt has long played an important role in history. Birthplace of one of the greatest civilisations known to man, Pharonic Egypt has left an indelible mark on modern day Egypt. This can be seen today in the shape of spectacular monument like the pyramids, statues and temples. Subsequent occupations by Alexander the Great, The Romans, Byzantium, Muslim Dynasties and the Ottoman Empire have all added character to what is now one of the world's most visited countries. It is hard to resist visiting Egypt without taking in some of this history, and we therefore have a large range of tours that we put in our 'Cultural' category.
