Egypt Eco-Luxury Adventure, Egypt
Experience Overview
The Egypt Eco-Luxury Adventure is the perfect trip in which to cleanse body and soul, combining the best of Cairo with the most unique of eco-lodge luxury. We begin with the sensory overload that is the country’s capital city, exploring the antiquities on display at the Egyptian Museum and, of course, partaking in that most Egyptian of traditions—shopping and bartering in the mysterious souks of the Khan el-Khalil Bazaar. The pyramids are, naturally, a must-see, and we explore not only the famed structures of Giza, but take the path less-trodden to discover those at Sakkara and Memphis as well.
