Egypt Trips: Cheap Holidays To Egypt by Dalene


Without a doubt, the best Egypt trip you can experience is in ‘overland’ style. Embarking on an overland trip offers cheap holidays to Egypt, but promises the richest experience. Whatever length of time you have to spend exploring the North African sands on your Egypt trip, Overlanding Africa can get you there… and back.

These are our three top Egypt trips:

#No. 1 The Best of Egypt Trip

Often it’s not possible to spend a month exploring foreign sands; that’s why our Best of Egypt trip allows you to experience it all in a two week adventure. From missioning across Egypt’s desert, to drifting through calming waters of the Nile in a felucca, the trip’s two week itinerary sends you on a historical journey of ancient discovery and natural beauty. This trip promises 14 days, well spent, admiring the absolute Best of Egypt.

You get such value for money when choosing from Overlanding Africa’s cheap holidays to Egypt.

#No.2 Kingdoms and Pharaohs

This 21-day Egypt trip gives you the opportunity to experience everything first hand. A true Egypt experience isn’t complete until you’ve mingled with the people, tasted the food, and felt the African sun toast your cheeks.

The trip takes you on a journey down the Red Sea Coast to the Pyramids in Cairo and of course, what would a trip to Egypt be without visiting Luxor: home of the Valley of the Kings and the massive Karnak Temple.

Explore and experience the smell of a well worked camel, rediscover the history of ancient city Petra, and unlock stories trapped in the desert sand of Wadi Run. A truly memorable trip to Egypt that echo’s ‘Salama alekum’*.

#No. 3 Middle East Trek

Set off on a 5 week exploration letting that open mind of yours absorb the culture of the Middle East. This epic overland journey kicks off in Istanbul and sees you through to oriental Turkey, friendly Syria, Jordan’s desert sands, and ancient Egypt. This cheap holiday to Egypt gives enough time to experience the region’s diversity, sights and culture.

Overlanding holidays in Egypt aren’t all about the tombs, temples and pyramids, they’re about the humbling feeling you experience when you realise that the bubble you’ve been living in, is now the size of the globe. All this on a cheap holiday to Egypt! Bargain.

*Salama alekum: A common greeting heard in Egypt meaning ‘Peace be with you’.

    Well, isn’t it safe in Egypt right now especially with the riots that has been happening lately?

    I really want to do an overland tour from Kenya into Egypt, Jordan and Israel but the “war” is preventing me from doing so.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    Thanks,
    Christy

  3. Hi Christy,
    I just got back from Egypt a couple of weeks ago and it was absolutely fine. No queues, no hassles and no problems, even in central Cairo. We have Crew on the ground up there permanently and since February have reported no problems that would affect or endanger any our of trips or clients.
    We are keeping an eye on Syria at the moment and have made a couple of changes to the trips that travel through there, but trips are all running 100% normal in Egypt, Israel and Jordan.
    Happy Trails!
