All excursions

A small-group day with a private Egyptologist and a vehicle that waits for you.

Forty-five minutes above the West Bank at dawn, then the temples on the ground.

A night in Luxor, so the West Bank gets a morning of its own instead of an hour.

Both banks at your own pace, with an Egyptologist working only for your group.

A two-seater with a roll cage and a windscreen — the safari without the sandblasting.

Quad, jeep, camel, Bedouin dinner and a show, in one long afternoon and evening.

Forty-five minutes on a quad and back — the riding without the whole evening programme.

A real motocross bike in open desert, for riders who already know how.

The Eastern Desert behind Marsa Alam — emptier country than the Hurghada routes.

Out at golden hour, back after dark, with the desert sky as the reason to go.

First light on the shore, before the heat and before anyone else is out.

A small-group boat with room to move and a route that is not fixed in advance.

A shore-entry bay with seagrass, turtles and — with luck — a dugong.

A quieter island day, with two snorkelling stops and fewer boats at the mooring.

A short, cheap island day — the beach and one reef stop, back by mid-afternoon.

Out to the dolphin grounds off Hurghada, with snorkelling stops on the way.

A larger VIP boat with shaded upper deck and a full lunch service.

Two islands in a day — the sandbar that appears at low tide, then the beach.

A newer island club with an over-water deck and a house reef off the beach.

The reef seen dry — an hour and a half over the coral without getting in.
