Between land and sea…

Two complementary days combining the discovery of the Red Sea’s underwater world and an immersion into the heart of ancient Egypt.

Day 1, head to the Red Sea, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and rich marine life.

Accompanied by a French-speaking guide, you will cross the desert in a private air-conditioned vehicle towards the legendary Nile Valley, cradle of Egyptian civilization.

Your day begins with a visit to the majestic Karnak Temple, impressive for its monumental columns and timeless atmosphere. You will then continue to the famous Valley of the Kings, a sacred necropolis where Egypt’s greatest rulers were laid to rest.

Stop at the iconic Colossi of Memnon, followed by the discovery of the spectacular Temple of Hatshepsut, a remarkable architectural masterpiece nestled against the cliffs.

You will also enjoy a glimpse into local life with a visit to a traditional workshop, before savoring a typical Egyptian lunch in a local restaurant.
