Overview

This remarkable 9-day Egypt adventure tour is designed for travelers who want to venture beyond the classic tourist trail and discover Egypt's most remote, extraordinary, and underexplored destinations. Combining the iconic monuments of Cairo, the Mediterranean elegance of Alexandria, the mystical Siwa Oasis on the edge of the Libyan border, and the surreal landscapes of the Bahariya Oasis and White Desert National Park, this tour offers one of Egypt's most diverse and adventurous travel experiences.

Begin in Cairo with a classic visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum — the essential foundations of any Egypt journey. Then travel to Alexandria, the legendary city founded by Alexander the Great, to discover its extraordinary Greco-Roman heritage through the fascinating Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the iconic Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and the beautiful Montaza Palace Gardens.

From Alexandria, embark on an epic drive along Egypt's North Coast to the remote and enchanting Siwa Oasis — a true oasis of date palms, olive groves, and freshwater springs deep in the Western Desert, close to the Libyan border. Visit the Temple of the Oracle where Alexander the Great sought divine confirmation of his destiny, swim in the legendary salty healing lakes, bathe in Cleopatra's Spring, and experience sand boarding on the Great Sand Sea dunes.

From Siwa, journey south to the Bahariya Oasis and on into the extraordinary White Desert National Park for a magical desert camping experience under the stars. This is Egypt for the true explorer.
