Nana in Egypt
Whether you are a history enthusiast, an adventurer, a culture lover, or a foodie, Egypt offers a captivating blend of ancient wonders and modern experiences that make it a remarkable destination to visit. Egypt is unique in that ancient history is so accessible to the traveler. Having stood among the pyramids and traveled extensively in Egypt, I know the region well and can provide you with a life-changing experience. Please allow me the privilege of planning your next amazing adventure!
Egypt is home to one of the world's oldest and most fascinating civilizations and the country boasts an impressive number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You can explore iconic ancient sites like the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Luxor's temples and tombs, and the Valley of the Kings. Other significant sites include the temples of Abu Simbel, the ancient city of Thebes, the historic Cairo Citadel, and the archaeological sites of Alexandria. These sites offer a chance to delve into Egypt's cultural heritage.
Cairo, the capital city of Egypt, is full of colorful sights, sounds, pleasant aromas of oils and wonderful historical sites. Alexandria is Egypt’s seaport city, where most ocean cruise ships dock, and where many historical sites are located, including the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and Pompey's Pillar.
The Nile River, the longest river in the world, flows through Egypt. Cruising along the Nile allows you to witness the scenic beauty of the country and visit enchanting temples and villages located along its banks. It's a unique way to explore Egypt and immerse yourself in its cultural and historical treasures. I can guide you in selecting the most appropriate river cruise line for your journey down the Nile. AmaWaterways and Viking are both excellent options.
You can also cruise to Alexandria with some of these wonderful cruise lines; Azamara, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn and others. Most cruise lines will stay overnight in Alexandria to take a day or two trip to Cairo to see the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx.
Egypt offers a diverse range of landscapes, from the vast Sahara Desert to the stunning beaches of the Red Sea. You can go on desert safaris, ride camels, or take thrilling quad bike rides across the sand dunes. The Red Sea coast provides excellent opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and beach relaxation.
Egypt has a rich Islamic and Coptic Christian heritage, with many mosques, churches, and monasteries to explore. Cairo is home to architectural gems like the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the Hanging Church. The blend of Islamic and Coptic influences creates a unique cultural tapestry worth experiencing.
Egyptians are known for their warm hospitality and friendliness towards visitors. You'll often find locals eager to share their culture, traditions, and stories. Engaging with the local people can enrich your travel experience and create lasting memories.
Egyptian cuisine is flavorful and diverse, offering a range of delicious dishes to try. From classics like koshari (a mix of rice, lentils, and pasta) to traditional street food like falafel and shawarma, the local culinary scene is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
Egypt provides opportunities for unique experiences, such as hot air balloon rides over Luxor at sunrise, snorkeling or diving in the Red Sea's vibrant coral reefs, or taking a traditional felucca boat ride on the Nile. These activities allow you to create memorable moments and capture the essence of Egypt.
Egypt has some of the world’s luxury hotels such as Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, as well as moderately priced hotels such as Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton and modest hotels as well.
With my expertise and knowledge of the region, I can help make this destination possible for you, and you will leave Egypt with a lifetime experience you will cherish forever.
