Egypt conjures up images of ancient civilizations, monumental pyramids and the mysterious Nile. But this fascinating country has much more to offer than its glorious history: from the lively markets of Cairo and the serene temples of Luxor to the colorful coral reefs of the Red Sea and the vast desert plains.
Most trips start in bustling Cairo, where ancient monuments such as the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx alternate with the modern bustle of a metropolis. Wander the narrow streets of Khan El Khalili, the largest bazaar in the Middle East, and admire the cultural riches at the Grand Egyptian Museum, where more than 100,000 artifacts tell the story of Egypt.
Those who travel further will discover the pristine nature of oases such as Fayoum, where citrus trees and traditional water wheels create a picturesque scene. Explore the historic port city of Alexandria with its Roman ruins and world-famous library or dive into the underwater world of the Red Sea, a paradise for snorkelers and divers.
Discover Egypt with Caractère, where your trip will be carefully tailored to your needs, with an eye for authenticity and away from the crowds.
