Following Pharoahs

"Pharoah's Footsteps" is a 15-day tour from Cairo to the Nile, Egypt's Red Sea Coast and the Sinai.

Designed by Top Deck Adventures for adventurous travellers between 18 and 30, highlights of the tour include a Nile River ride on a felucca while being entertained and fed Nubian-style; a guided tour of an Egyptian museum; visiting the pyramids and sphinx; and dining on floating restaurants moored along the Nile.

Climbing on Mount Sinai and snorkelling through spectacular coral beds of the Red Sea are also part of the tour.

The $1585 cost covers accommodation, transport and many meals, plus entrance fees to the historic sites and the services of professional local guides.
