Egypt is a fascinating country home to some of the most historical treasures dating back over 5,000 years. But it’s not all museums and archaeological sites. There are many traditions you can experience on your Egypt Easter holiday - one popular activity is to dye eggs red, which symbolises the blood of Christ, or to make a cross out of palm fronds and decorate it with flowers. Thanks to Egypt's sizzling climate you can enjoy balmy evenings and sunny days with a daily average of 26°C. There are many great adventures waiting among the sand dunes or along the banks of the Nile, from the Great Pyramids
of Giza - the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World, to a camel ride through the desert, a cruise down the River Nile and a trip to the gorgeous Red Sea coastline, teeming with marine life, famous wrecks and renowned coral reefs.

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.
