Your Sheik El Sharm experience combines the very best that Egypt has to offer. Not only are able to experience the Great Pyramids of the Giza Plateau, but also the iconic Sphinx. Both are over 4,500 years old and a testament to the engineering brilliance of the ancient Egyptians. And for that reason, this tour includes a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NEC). The museum captures the essence of both the pharaohs influence over Egypt but also the impact of both Christianity and Islam in shaping what Egypt is today. Over the last 2 years, the most notable of antiquities have been transferred to NMEC and the once diverse locations of artifacts of ancient Egypt are now complete histories within the museum. And central to this are the mummies of the most famous pharaohs in all Egypt which now reside at the museum.

A Dahabiya is a traditional two-masted sailing boat. And in Arabic it is translated as ‘a golden one’. These vessels were common in Egypt in the early part of the 19th century up until the 1870’s and were used by people for travelling and also by the Egyptian monarchy and elites for their socialising. In those days they were considered to be the first class method for travelling. Today they still represent a great way for getting around, albeit at a leisurely pace and the way to see the real Egypt. On our excursions to our communities, your Dahabiya can draw into beaches and landing places close to the villages you are visiting. It can anchor at any location along the river. This gives more options for impromptu stops and activities like lunch on the beach, swimming and other adventures. Every step of the way our guides are with you.

Five thousand years have transpired since the ancient Egyptians first produced perfume. Hieroglyphics found in Egyptian tombs dating from 3000BC verify that Egyptian priests were the earliest perfumers. And in ancient Egyptian mythology, Nefertem was the god of each morning’s creation and the god of perfumes and aromatics. Perfumes were associated with mystical functions and served as a gift from and to the Gods. Natural ingredients such as myrrh, frankincense, and cinnamon, were used to create unique fragrances. Perfumes became an important part of Egyptian life and were used by men and women.

In 1979, UNESCO designated Old Cairo, as a World Heritage Site, calling it “one of the world’s oldest Islamic cities, with famous mosques, madrasas, hammams and fountains”.

The Egyptian government’s objective was to offer its citizens and visitors a place where they could see and learn everything about their Pharaonic civilization. Its foundation stone was laid by the former President Hosni Mubarak in 2002. It is part of a new master plan for the Giza Plateau, known as “Giza 2030”. And whilst it has taken years to fruition, the wait was certainly worth it. It is the largest archaeological museum devoted to a single civilisation in the world. Its outstanding design is awe inspiring with views of the neighbouring Giza Plateau (2 kilometres away) and pyramids ever present as you wander its enormous expanse. It occupies a site of over 50 hectares (123 acres).
