Named in honour of Alexander the Great, Alexandria has a fascinating history
dating back more than 2000 years. Cleopatra's Needles are perhaps
Alexandria's best-known exports; yet still remaining are mosques,
churches, a synagogue, a greek quarter, a Turkish quarter, a citadel
and a fort (Fort Qaitbey).
Alexandria is also probably
Egypt's most understated beach resort. Basking in Mediterranean
sunshine throughout long summer months, Alexandria is only 2 and a
half hours away from Cairo by road or train - making it an ideal
two-centre holiday destination.

The Nile Valley is home to some of the world's most famous and spectacular archaeological sites, reminders of Egypt's fascinating past.

Our flexible programme means that you can choose from a variety of components, and quickly build an itinerary that is both comprehensive and competitively priced.
