Destination
EGYPT - LAND OF HISTORY
Egypt is a land, rich in history, an open-air museum littered with examples of the awe-inspiring grandeur of past civilisations.
It's capital, Cairo is a modern, vibrant and exciting city; the largest in Africa.
Cairo offers the choice of dozens of fine hotels, nightclubs, discos and casinos, wonderful sightseeing, together with shopping opportunities ranging from exclusive boutiques to the romance of the traditional bazaars. A wide range of venues can be themed to meet an incentive or conference client's every wish.
Upper Egypt, accessed by air, rail, or on one of the many excellent Nile cruises is like a return to a past era. Along the banks of the timeless River Nile farmers can be seen tending the land, while the graceful Feluccas carry cargo as they have for centuries.
The temples of Luxor and Karnak together with the Valley of the Kings makes Luxor an unforgettable experience whilst at Aswan, Abu Simbel stands supreme.
