Egypt 2026
Uncover fascinating truths about ancient Egypt, from ingenious inventions to divine temples and timeless traditions that shaped civilization and still captivate travelers across centuries today.
People settled in Egypt as early as 6000 B.C. Over time, small villages joined together to become states until two kingdoms emerged: Lower Egypt, which covers the Nile River Delta up to the Mediterranean Sea in the north, and Upper Egypt, which covers the Nile Valley in the south. Around 3100 B.C., a king (later called a pharaoh) united these two lands into one country, and so historians begin the long history of ancient Egypt here. Explore Egypt with our carefully crafted itinerary. Discover iconic monuments, ancient temples, and unforgettable experiences while enjoying seamless travel and luxurious accommodations throughout your journey.
