Sharm El Sheik (7 Days)
(Both Private Group Tours & Small Groups Tours)
Overview
This seven-day journey combines Egypt’s ancient wonders with the ease and colour of a Red Sea escape. Beginning in Cairo with the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum before flying to Sharm El Sheikh, where clear turquoise water, coral reefs, warm sunshine, and resort comfort create a completely different side of Egypt.
Sharm El Sheikh is one of the Red Sea’s most appealing holiday destinations, loved for its year-round sunshine, dramatic desert-meets-sea scenery, vibrant marine life, and relaxed resort atmosphere. It is ideal for travellers who want to balance culture with time to unwind by the beach, swim in warm water, and enjoy the hospitality, dining, and easy pace of a coastal stay.
The Red Sea experience is the heart of this itinerary. Tiran Bay, nearby reefs, colourful coral gardens, and clear water offer wonderful opportunities for swimming and snorkelling, while Sharm itself has lively markets, cafés, restaurants, marina areas, and optional desert adventures. It is a warm, highly saleable combination: ancient Cairo first, then the beauty and ease of the Red Sea.
