Egypt in 3 weeks

one trip where you won’t need your mummy!

On this, a perfectly-rounded trip to Egypt, we’ll be visiting antique treasures one moment and experiencing contemporary culture the next. We’ll trek to remote oases set amidst white desert. We’ll sail on a traditional felucca, a two-masted merchant vessel with lanteen sails. And we’ll take a camel safari in the Sinai desert. The last days of the trip will be spent at Dahab, a resort on the Red Sea with excellent opportunities for diving, swimming, sunbathing and partying!

Excursions

For some trips, it is possible to purchase an excursion package in advance of travel. This allows you to be assured of your participation in the main excursions. If the minimum number of participants in a tour package is not met, you will receive a refund and then you can easily purchase these excursions ‘on the spot’. If this trip offers an excursion package, you can see below which excursions are included in the package. If no package for your trip is displayed below then you have the option of booking the separate excursions on the spot.

Individual excursions
During your trip it is possible to participate in several individual excursions. These will be offered to you by the tour leader and you will book them through him/her. These excursions are optional and you will need to pay for them out of your pocket money. The cost of these trips is taken into account when we give our opinion about the amount of pocket money that should be taken with you.

Prices
To give you an idea of the cost of individual excursions we mention here some reference amounts based on the price level of November 2011. These amounts are subject to change and are only meant to give you an indication. Because the entrance fees often change, they are not included in the tour price (unless explicitly stated).
