Travelstride Take
This is the perfect Egyptian holiday for both seasoned travellers and those who are new to travelling in more exotic locations. The itinerary touches on all the classic sights, and dives into the fascinating history of Egypt. You will sail in a traditional felucca and experience life on the Nile River. This tour is scheduled over the Christmas holidays - the crowds will be much fewer and the weather less scorching. - Stride Editor
