Deluxe Trips Egypt

Experiences · Sky & stone

Out of a plane, above the Nile at dawn, and deep inside the stone.

Some of Egypt is best seen in freefall, some from a basket over Luxor, and some only from a passage inside a pyramid. Compare the heights and depths, the time each takes and who should skip it.

The Red Pyramid of Sneferu at Dahshur, seen across open desert.
