EGYPT

WHERE IT ALL BEGINS Egypt has been known as the cradle of civilization for centuries and also a cradle for inspiration; the source of many people's discoveries and experiences.

From the majestic Pyramids still standing proudly to the mighty Nile flowing through the heart of Egypt, the stark Sahara Desert and the pristine beaches of the Red Sea, Egypt has it all. A great story awaits you.

Sharm el Sheikh

Located on the Sinai peninsula and drenched in year-round sunshine, Sharm El Sheikh is Egypt’s jewel in the Red Sea Riviera, a diving and snorkelling mecca and the gateway to the earliest surviving bastion of Christianity, the Greek Orthodox Monastery of St. Catherine, said to be the Mount Sinai of the Old Testament and the place where Moses encountered the Burning Bush and received the Ten Commandments.
