Egypt
Egypt delivers scale and spectacle. Ancient sites. Desert landscapes. The Nile at the centre of it all. It suits groups who want big-name landmarks with private access and tight logistics.
The best itineraries combine Cairo with Luxor and Aswan. Add a high-end Nile sailing and you get a trip with variety built in. History, design-led hotels, and standout dining, without constant packing and unpacking.
