The "Nubians & Beaches" tour starts and ends in Cairo. It is a beach tour that takes 12 days taking you through Karnak Temple, Philae Temple, Hurghada and 6 other destinations in Egypt. "Nubians & Beaches" is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Over 12 days you will explore the secrets of Egypt on this comprehensive tour. Taking in the key historical sites of Cairo, including the Sphinx and Great Pyramid at Giza, you will then travel to Aswan to explore a local Nubian village and take a boat trip to the beautiful Philae temple. You'll also have some time to also wander around the souks and markets. An optional early morning tour gives you the opportunity to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Abu Simbel to see the amazing temples built by Ramses II. Your traditional felucca cruise (with accompanying support boat with toilets, showers and massage deck) then takes you down the Nile River, visiting key temples before arriving in Luxor where you will experience the incredible temples and world famous tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the impressive temple complex at Karnak, as well as the less visited Medinat Habu on the West Bank and the Colossi of Memnon. We then set off for some fun and relaxation by the sandy beaches of Hurghada on the Red Sea. Here you can scuba dive or snorkel, quad bike or kiteboard, windsurf or go fishing, and even ride a camel! It is your choice whether to then depart from Hurghada or travel back to Cairo for a final guided walking tour through the back streets of Islamic Cairo and the Khan-el-Khalili bazaar..
