Long-lost civilisations, ancient gods and some of the best historic sites on the planet are just a handful of the dazzling headline acts of Red Sea holidays. Whether you’re a history buff or not, there’s a universal wonder to the monuments of Egypt, from the breathtaking Pyramids of Giza to the millenia-old hieroglyphics etched into the temples of Luxor, or the dark magic that resides in the Valley of the Kings tombs; nothing prepares you for seeing each intoxicating relic with your own eyes. But if you thought Egypt was a one note destination, it will prove you wrong at every turn. Feel the heat
of the city in the souqs of Cairo; float down the mighty Nile on a felucca (sailing boat) as the sun disappears beyond the horizon; or find a slice of beach perfection on Egypt’s Red Sea coast in Hurghada, a blissful spot to swim, sunbathe and snorkel.

We had a lot of helpful guidance for a trip to a country we had never visited. It was the SS Sudan that was the reason for the trip and Egypt was incidental! The ship certainly has the WOW Factor. However, of course, Egypt’s Tombs and Temples are magnificent and Mustafa, our guide, made them come to life. Fatma was great at the Nubian Museum too and we got a good sense of Nubian life from her having lived in a Nubian village all her life. Ahmed at Luxor was a delight and a surprise to see at the Passport Control and looked after us well until we alighted the SS Sudan. Mina at Aswan went above and beyond. Even arranged a boat and escorted us to our Apertif treat at the Cataract Hotel and got us a boat to get back to the hotel. Our consultant was Lucy and we had great faith in her, she did a good job. The highlight, of course, was SS Sudan. A breathtaking ship. All crew, food, half days spent reading on the ship. Everything happened like clockwork, we never had to wait or wonder what was happening. I loved the early morning starts driving through country villages waking up and seeing the children going to school and the bread coming out of the ovens. Overall, you provided us with a holiday with amazing memories. We look forward to another trip with Original Travel in the future.
