  Is This Trip Right for You?

  We are pleased, after a long hiatus, to bring back programs to Egypt. Egypt’s history and culture have not changed, however recent political events have left their mark on daily life. You may see more armed guards and police vehicle presence than in the past. Security is of primary importance and we encourage you to travel in groups and not alone. Hotels and ships are working hastily on their services to meet demands. Unfortunately, very few improvements have been made in recent years. Investments in the infrastructure are lagging behind. Therefore the buses and transfer vehicles, although clean and well maintained, they are an aging fleet. Most domestic flights from Cairo to Upper Egypt (Luxor, Aswan) depart in the early morning, requiring waking before dawn. Some common comforts such as hygiene may be lacking. Consider the local dress code and watch your diet. Eat cooked foods only and stick to bottled beverages. Due to Egypt's proximity to the Sahara Desert, local hot winds bring sand and dust visible everywhere. 
  
  This active program covers a good amount of ground each day. Expect from three to four hours walking on some touring days as well as early starts. The pace is moderate, however, you will encounter some uneven surfaces, stairs, steps and significant slopes. Traffic congestion and delays are common, particularly in downtown Cairo. This is a Classic program. For more information, click here.
