Egypt
Nothing compares to waking up on a felucca with the call to prayer echoing across the water – whilst you sail up and down the River Nile, where her golden sand dunes tumble to the rivers edge and your graceful sail boat glides you around the islands. Or perhaps your dream is to climb Mount Sinai and watch the brilliant birth of a new day, or trek in the desert and attempt to sleep under the night skies that keep you awake as they are so busy with shooting stars!!
A ride on your temperamental, sometimes, bad tempered camel from the Pyramids to the desert is one of the most romantic journeys you can make – if you can control your camel. A visit to Egypt is not complete without a trip to Luxor or Aswan to visit the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens – here you will explore tombs and ruins of bygone days.
