About this trip

Pyramids at the start of the week, coral reefs by the end of it. After two full days in Cairo with the pyramids, Saqqara, the Grand Egyptian Museum and Khan el-Khalili, a short flight takes you to Sharm El Sheikh at the tip of Sinai.

Calm beaches and some of the most beautiful reefs in the world are waiting, with Ras Mohammed National Park, diving or a night climb of Mount Sinai for sunrise if you like. And don't miss sunset at Farsha Café, the lantern-lit lounge on the cliffs.
