Travel Talk offers various group tours to Egypt. It’s one of the best places to travel with a large group, if you want to save money. But before you book a group tour, you need to know the things to look for when choosing the right company. Here are some tips:
Luxor-Aswan Nile cruise
If you’d like to visit the ancient sites of the Nile, a Luxor-Aswan Nile cruise is the perfect way to see the country’s ancient culture. Cruise ships will take you from city to city on the river, with one night spent in Kom Ombo, the second in Luxor, and the third in Aswan. Guests will have the opportunity to explore historic sites such as the Hanging Church and Abu Serga, and the Colossi of Mem.
Abu Simbel tour
For those who enjoy history, a visit to the site of the Abu Simbel temples is a must-do. The Abu Simbel temples, built by King Ramses II, are some of Egypt’s most famous attractions. Abu Simbel is a village in Nubia, 240 km southwest of Aswan, near the border with Sudan. As of 2012, the village had a population of around 2600 people.
Giza tour
Your guide will be an experienced Egyptologist, who will act as your tour director. You will also enjoy extra time to visit the Pyramids and the Imhotep Museum, which are undergoing renovations. The tour concludes with a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. You’ll also have time to wander through the Khan el Khalili Bazaars and do a little bargaining. Once you have seen enough of Giza, you’ll be ready for the next day.
Globus tour
When it comes to vacations in the Middle East and Asia, nothing is more exciting than a Globus tour. This tour company offers customized, pre-packaged vacations that feature a dedicated tour director and set itinerary. Globus travelers want to experience the best of each destination without the hassle of planning their own trip, and they want to save money by doing it all in a package. With each tour, you’ll meet local tour guides who know the best places to see and explore.
Intrepid tour
If you are looking to take a trip to ancient Egypt, you can’t go wrong with an Intrepid tour. You’ll be able to experience the majesty of the country, explore the ruins, and even visit the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Although the country is often misrepresented in the media as dangerous, it is actually a relatively safe place to visit. Intrepid tours require a reasonable fitness level and the ability to walk 10k. If you have any doubts, you can always call up the company to see what they can offer.
Viking river cruise
Viking river cruise Egypt tours begin with a three-night stay in Cairo. Here, guests can explore the Great Pyramid of Giza, the necropolis of Sakkara, and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. From Cairo, they fly to Luxor, where they visit the Temples of Luxor and Karnak before boarding their Viking river boat for an eight-day Nile River cruise. While in Egypt, you should also consider taking a camel ride or two.
