Egypt

Temples that have stood for four thousand years, the Nile still moving at the same pace it always has, and cities that turn from Pharaonic to Ottoman to modern in the space of one afternoon.

Egypt is where Sekhmet and Ptah Tours began, and it's still the backbone of what we run: Luxor's temple complexes, Aswan's Nubian villages and the Nile itself, the Red Sea coast around Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, and the layered history of Alexandria. Most itineraries here move between two or three cities, since a lot of what's worth seeing is spread along the river and the coast rather than packed into one place.
