Cairo is the largest city in Africa and heart of the Arab World. It is a rare blend of a time long past, mixed with the sophistication of the modern world. Cairo also offers great tour opportunities for golfing enthusiasts.
Other fascinating areas of Egypt such as Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria, Abu Simbel, and the Western Desert offer additional marvels to explore. Luxor is considered to be the greatest outdoor museum in the world, and contains nearly one third of the world's famous Egyptian antiquities. Aswan, characterised by warm weather and an atmosphere of serenity, is an ideal winter resort.
The Sinai Peninsula is a breathtaking site, one of its most important attractions being the ancient Greek Orthodox Monastery of St Catherine. The spectacular waters of the Red Sea contain alluring corals and exquisite marine life, creating a genuine paradise for diving and snorkelling.

Our selected regions in Egypt...  |  AlexandriaThe second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern. |
 | Aswan - Nubia Aswan, Egypt's sunniest southern city and ancient frontier town has a distinctively African atmosphere. Small enough to walk around, with a relaxed pace of life, Aswan is graced with the most beautiful setting on the River Nile. |
 | Cairo Founded on the site of Babylon, near the ruins of ancient Memphis, Cairo has been the largest city in Africa for centuries. Modern Cairo encompasses many former cities and their monuments as well as 5 000 years of culture. |
 | Luxor - Thebes Luxor is filled with the awe-inspiring array of monuments of ancient civilization - a testament to the desire for immortality. Built in sandstone and granite, the temples, tombs and palaces are surrounded by souks and luxury hotels. |
 | Nile Cruises The Nile, Africa's greatest river, is the lifeblood on which Egypt has depended since the beginning of time. For more than nine hundred and sixty kilometres from Abu Simbel to Cairo, this river follows the course of a world virtually unchanged since biblical times. |
 | Red Sea Egypt's Red Sea coast runs from the Gulf of Suez, south to the Sudanese border. The area is known for its warm all year round climate and beaches, which are characterised by their soft white sand and clear turquoise sea. |
 | Sinai Land of discovery, the route to the promised land where Isis sought Osiris, the Pharaohs found gold and a meeting point for three great religions. Sinai is where rock meets coral reefs and the desert stops at the sea, where the grandeur of granite meets the golden beaches of the Red Sea Riviera and an area that abounds with tropical fish and rare birds. A holiday to Egypt that excludes The Sinai Desert is incomplete. |
 | The Oasis Egypt's oases are unspoilt refuges from the modern world - home to pockets of civilization in the dramatic setting of the desert. These oases are still the most varied in the world; each with their own distinguished character and insight into the Bedouin lifestyle. |
Not to be missed in Egypt...  | Private Guiding The Pulse Africa Way PRESS RELEASE: Exclusive African safari consultants, Pulse Africa, are expanding their services to their clients, by creating a private guiding division. |
 | How Bizarre? How could a market in Egypt be responsible for the founding of the United States? Khan el-Khalili, once known as the Turkish bazaar during the Ottoman period was built in 1382 by the Emir Djaharks el-Khalili in the heart of the Fatimid City. Perhaps this very market was involved in the spice monopoly controlled by the Mamluks, which encouraged the Europeans to search for new routes to the east and led Columbus, indirectly, to discover the Americas, who knows? |
 | Cruise In Style Quite simply this is the best Nile Cruise to be had. The best boat, the best guides, the best crew, the best food and probably the best fun! |
 | Red Sea Adventures A genuine paradise for diving & snorkelling. The spectacular waters of Egypt's Red Sea... alluring corals and exquisite marine life. |
