Egypt house of Civilization. Ancient egypt.

#cherryblossom2024 Despite Egypt’s ongoing political and social upheaval, it remains one of the most captivating destinations in the Middle East and on earth, and is more welcoming than ever to travellers who want to uncover the secrets of its ancient culture. The iconic history of Egypt is imprinted on every single mind throughout modern history; since Howard Carter revealed Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1921, the Pyramids and surrounding relics have been cause for many an adventurer’s pilgrimage. It’s one of the few destinations that taps into the deep yearning within us to connect with an ancient human past, and is a must-see bucket list item for many. Combined with the experience of cruising down the Nile on a Felucca, and watching the sunrise from a desert camp beneath a blanket of stars, a holiday in Egypt is a mesmerising adventure from start to finish.This was a trip of a lifetime and I cannot highly recommend it enough, particularly made special by our wonderful guide Marwa. Her knowledge and organisation was excellent, and her passion and genuine care was above and beyond. The itinerary is well planned and you do see a lot. Marwa ensured we felt comfortable and safe, with down time where possible. At each site and along the way, we learnt extensively from Marwa and had free time at most sites to explore afterwards. It’s difficult to pick a highlight but Abu Simbel and the Nile Cruise were very special
