Where to go

Follow Egypt south.

Almost every trip follows the river: Cairo first, then south to Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel, with the sea and the desert branching off it. Choose a place to see what it is for, and how long it deserves.
  1. The three pyramids of Giza and the smaller queens' pyramids on the desert plateau.

    Where the Nile meets its delta

    Cairo & Giza

    Where most first journeys begin: the pyramids and the Sphinx on the plateau, and the Grand Egyptian Museum at its foot.

    3 nights recommended

  2. Qaitbay Fort at the tip of Alexandria's eastern harbour, beside the sea.

    North, on the Mediterranean

    Alexandria

    Alexander's city by the sea: catacombs, a Roman theatre and a fort on the site of the ancient lighthouse.

    A long day from Cairo, or a night

  3. Water falling between rock ledges at the Wadi El Rayan waterfalls in Fayoum.

    West of the river, two hours from Cairo

    Fayoum

    An oasis around a lake, with the waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan and the fossil whales of Wadi El Hitan.

    A day from Cairo, or a night

  4. Pale chalk formations under a blue night sky in the White Desert.

    Deep in the Western Desert

    Western Desert

    Chalk towers, black hills and a night under a sky with nothing in the way.

    1–2 nights recommended

  5. The first pylon of Karnak, with the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes leading to it.

    Upper Egypt, on the river

    Luxor

    Temples on the east bank, and the royal tombs cut into the hills on the west.

    2–3 nights recommended

  6. Giftun Island low on the horizon across the blue Red Sea, with a boat passing.

    East, across the mountains to the coast

    The Red Sea

    Reefs, wrecks and real rest, a short flight from Cairo or a drive from Luxor.

    3–5 nights recommended

  7. A felucca under full sail on the Nile at Aswan, with Elephantine Island behind it.

    The river between Luxor and Aswan

    Nile & Aswan

    Slow the trip down: a cruise or a dahabiya, the island temple of Philae, and Nubian villages by boat.

    4–5 nights recommended

  8. The four seated colossi of Ramesses II on the facade of the Great Temple at Abu Simbel.

    South, on Lake Nasser

    Abu Simbel

    The temples of Ramses II and Nefertari, moved block by block above the rising lake in the 1960s.
