Aphrodite found love here, and you will too. Rise to explore lush fauna covering century-old sites; underground tombs, forts, museums, Byzantine painted churches and Aphrodite‘s rock. Meet monastery monks for a private singing concert, sculpt pottery, craft mosaics and learn local cooking skills. Encounter butterfly-filled valleys and gorges bursting with rare flowers and fruit, birds and butterflies – where the delicate balance of nature is intact. Head to hillside villages to wineries and tavernas offering Cypriot delicacies. And relax. From golden sands, snorkel into cool coves, sink into the crystal-clear blue lagoon, kayak along the coast or safari through deserted beaches to where turtles breed. Mindfully immerse into Aphrodite‘s natural spring-filled pool, known for rejuvenating powers. You‘ll have a deeper understanding of love here, as the purest ancient Greek mythology lives on.

A place of myth and legend that simmers with heady mix of romance, action, adventure, pharaohs and Pyramids. Choose to crawl through chambers to discover ancient hieroglyphics, gaze at the Great Sphinx, visit Luxor, the Valley of Kings (and Queen) and Tutankhamun’s exhibition at G.E.M. For a different experience, you may prefer to drop into a health spa for pure relaxation, and later share stories as you gracefully sail along in a hot air balloon. Passionate Egyptologists will talk you through the lineage of the Pharaohs, whilst architects and engineers walk you through the construction of the Suez Canal. Come evening, slow down for some Eastern cuisine in the curiously quaint Port Fouad where choice and variety is the order of the day. An incredible global crossroads that you truly need to see and experience to believe.

From the cool blue Mediterranean at Port Said to its halfway point at tranquil Timsah Lake, the Suez Canal cuts an arrow-straight line through sublime North African desert. Imaginations soar with the eagles as the banks of Egypt’s wonderful waterway unfold towards the scorched wilderness of Sinai and the fertile farmlands of the Nile Delta. Ships glide in orderly single-file towards the Great Bitter Lake, then onward to the minarets of Port Tewfik, where the call to prayer guides us towards the sun-kissed Gulf of Suez.

Safaga will set your imagination spinning as the gateway to Luxor. Head back to the start of human history and find yourself at Karnak’s staggering complex of temples. Let Egyptologists fill in the missing pieces at Luxor Temple, built with prolific pharaoh patronage. Sail high over the Valley of Kings on a private hot air balloon and go underground to unlock the mystery at Tutankhamun’s tomb. Pay respect to the only woman Pharaoh and salute Egypt’s most considerable, Colossi of Memnon. Sparkly Safaga Red Sea escapades to stony burial chambers, mighty monuments and expressive artistry – this region offers a millennia-old flavour of the world’s greatest ancient wonders.
