The Complete Egypt - 11th September 2010 - 15 Days with Lucia Gahlin

This tour has been designed as a ‘Grand Tour’. There are many general tours of Egypt but nothing available quite like this. We will cover the entirety of Egyptian history and all the major sites as well as visiting some special out of the way places never heard of by most tour companies! If you’ve never been to Egypt before, or you’ve only been on the ‘standard holiday’ then this tour is for you. The tour is accompanied by Lucia Gahlin, whose knowledge of Egypt, charm and good humour will help make this holiday one to remember.

Upper Egypt - 4th October 2010 - 8 or 14 Days with Chris Naunton

Upper Egypt has some of the most famous historical sites in the world, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings among them. On this tour of Luxor and Aswan and all points in between we are also privileged to visit two tombs normally closed to the public; Hatshepsut’s ‘favourite’ Senenmut with its extraordinary astronomical ceiling and Merenptah in the Valley of the Kings.

The King's Highway - 1st May 2010 - with Janet Shepherd

Over the past few years many of our regular travellers to Egypt have mentioned that they would really love to see Jordan and the wonderful sites of Jerash and Petra. For 2010 we have decided to run a special tour of Jordan with our senior Tour Manager, Janet Shepherd. Accompanied by an excellent national guide throughout, this is your chance to explore the ‘Rose Red City’ and discover Jordan. Jordan is a magical country that never ceases to surprise. Bustling modernity and luxury hotels sit comfortably among ancient ruins, traditional villages and an attitude to life that is born of the desert. Jordan will delight and amaze you and make you wonder why you haven’t been there ten times before.
