Dylan Bickerstaffe's Valley of the Kings and Aidan Dodson's Middle Egypt Combined 15th March 2010

The back to back combination of these two wonderful tours.

From Karnak to Kharga - 22 November 2010 - 13 Days with Kent Weeks

This new tour takes in the glories of Luxor and also introduces the traveller to two of the largest Oases. These places are filled with amazing archaeology and are one of Egypt’s best kept secrets. If you’ve never been to the desert then there can be no better way to gain a comfortable introduction! Of course, being a Kent Week’s tour there is special access to, KV5, where we will have a full update on the latest discoveries.

Gilf Kebir and the Great Sand Sea - 8th March 2010 - 14 Days with Colin Reader

Only a select few travel to Gilf Kebir with its extraordinary cave paintings and dramatic landscapes. Even fewer cross the silica glass fields and the Great Sand Sea. Join us on a superb adventure in one of the world's least explored locations. Few places in the world show large white areas on maps with phrases like 'area believed not to exceed 2400 feet', but the Gilf is one of them!

Middle Egypt - 22nd March 2010 - 11 Days with Aidan Dodson

Middle Egypt is often overlooked by many travellers but there is a wealth of amazing sites to be seen. If you have not been to places such as Tihna, Lahun and the fabulous Meir then it really is time you went! Aidan Dodson knows this part of Egypt well and there can be no-one better to explain these wonderful places to you.

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.

The Daughters of Isis - 24th September 2010 - 11 Days with Lucia Gahlin

AWT favourite, Lucia Gahlin, takes a wonderful look at the women behind (and sometimes on) the throne of Egypt. With entry to the fabulous tomb of Nefertari in Luxor, this is a superb tour, updated from 2009, now features some wonderful extra sites including Akhmim, Abydos and Denderah.

The Kings Valley - 15th March 2010 - 8 Days with Dylan Bickerstaffe

This new tour looks at the Theban Necropolis in real detail and among many great highlights we have a very special private opening of the tomb of Amenhotep II and we end end with an excursion to the wonderful temples at Abydos and Dendera. You can combine this tour with Aidan Dodson's Middle Egypt tour making a spectacular two week exploration of the classic and the unusual.

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.
