  Egypt's Nile Valley
Alexandria

 

   

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.

Nile Valley Information

The Nile Valley is home to some of the world's most famous and spectacular archaeological sites, reminders of Egypt's fascinating past. Travellers have been visiting the region for centuries, and today Cairo, Luxor and Aswan offer quality hotels and a chance to experience modern Egypt as well as a wealth of historical sights.

Longwood Holidays offers a variety of versatile holiday options to the Nile Valley, including Nile Cruises, multi-centre holidays, city breaks and bespoke itineraries to help create the holiday of your dreams.

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. The same flexibility means that, unfortunately, most of these holidays can't be booked online (with the exception of Nile Cruises); but our team of dedicated specialists are available on 020 8418 2525.
