Egypt travel with style – escape in style

Egypt’s travels in the land on the Nile, which is by the way the longest river in the world, has fascinated people for thousands of years and they settled on the fertile banks. Former pharaohs created monuments and unique temples along the Nile. The fascination extends into our millennium and invites you to travel on a luxury Nile cruise.
With an estimated 100 million inhabitants, it is one of the most populous countries in Africa and, in its diversity, offers exactly the right thing for everyone who wants to embark on a special and unique journey.
Combining a luxury holiday in Egypt with an extensive cultural tour is a must, especially for those who are hungry for knowledge. To quench this thirst for knowledge, it is best to opt for a Nile cruise on Egypt’s lifeline.
Experience how this beautiful landscape with the lush green fields and the inhospitable desert passes you while you enjoy a tea on the lounge deck of the Nile ship, the yacht or the dahabeya.
Since the many ancient temples of Egypt are located on the Nile, you can easily reach them during your Nile cruise and your stay on a Nile ship. People have travelled the largest river for many centuries.
The city of Luxor, with the largest temple complex in Egypt – the Karnak temple complex is particularly impressive with its large pillared hall, which contained 134 columns at the time of the 18th and 19th dynasties. Together with the Luxor Temple, the Temple of Karnak was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. But of course, this city on the Nile offers a lot more attractions.
During the Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan you have the opportunity to visit the temples of Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo. You reach the southernmost point of Egypt, Aswan – the city offers modern buildings to visit even with the Nasser Reservoir and the large dam.
Since the construction of the dam and the associated flooding of the area in front of it, the Philae and Abu Simbel temples on the Nile would have been destroyed, they have been rebuilt with the support of UNESCO.
You, therefore, have the opportunity to visit the temple island of Philae, which are dedicated to the goddesses Isis and Hathor, even today.
The way to Abu Simbel is definitely worth it. This breathtaking building of Ramses II is not to be missed. The towering large seated figures of the Pharaoh himself leave you speechless.
As a powerful pharaoh of his time, he was the only pharaoh of his favourite wife Nefertari to build a smaller temple of equal size that is second to none.
Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is definitely worth a visit.
In addition to the Egyptian Museum, which has countless exhibits and artefacts ready for visitors to marvel at, this city also impresses with its ultra-modern buildings and shopping malls.
Even just visiting the pyramids of Giza, which represent one of the ancient seven wonders of the world, will overwhelm the visitor. These buildings, which can still be seen for miles in the distance in the haze of the desert, will humbly allow you to look at the memory of the ancient Egyptians.
At close distance from Cairo is the necropolis of ancient Egypt – Memphis and Saqqara. Already in the 3rd dynasty of the old empire, around 2650 BC. The first pyramid was built by Pharaoh Djoser – the step pyramid of Saqqara.
In 2020, new archaeological sites were set up in Saqqara, as unique artefacts from the Pharaonic era were once again brought to light here.
A city tour to Alexandria as a coastal city on the Mediterranean also offers all kinds of sights, such as the new library and the fortresses, which were built directly on the coast.
The weather in Alexandria offers a beautiful travel destination, especially in summer, as a breeze of fresh wind always blows into the city from the Mediterranean Sea.
Of course, Egypt is also known for the incomparable underwater world of the Red Sea. There are different cities for a beach holiday and a visit to this underwater world.
Hurghada, a former fishing village, has developed into one of the largest tourist cities in the country over the decades. Located directly on the Red Sea, there are many opportunities to get to know and love Egypt in a different way. Bright sunshine on almost 365 days, spoils Egypt with blue skies and turquoise-blue clear sea. Egypt invites you to linger. You won’t be able to get enough of this natural beauty.
Marsa Alam is located further south. Also located right by the sea, you will certainly be lucky enough to encounter manatees and turtles on your snorkelling or diving trips.
The tourist town of Sharm El Sheikh is located on the lower coast of the Sinai Peninsula and has become one of the hotspots for divers from all over the world thanks to its colourful and incomparable underwater world.
