Alexandria

Firstly, explore the “Pearl of the Mediterranean” and its many wonders. Look below the surface to the city’s Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa. Then visit the Bibliotheca Alexandria, which honors the lost library and has become a center for literacy, discovery, and the arts for the modern age.

Western Desert Adventure

Journey to the Siwa Oasis, where modern life has yet to encroach on the Siwans. The hand-built, mud-salt buildings of the Adrère Amellal eco-lodge are the base for exploration on the edge of the desert.

Fayoum

From Lazib Inn, explore Fayoum, Egypt’s oldest city. The Fayoum Oasis is one of the best-kept secrets of Egypt.

Cruise along the Nile

Visit the tombs of the pharaohs by day, then relax in luxury by night. The Sonesta St. George I is your Nile River vessel, traveling to famed sites both modern and ancient along the world’s most famous river.
