Contract this tripWhy this trip
There is a short list of things every person says they want to see before they die, and the Pyramids of Giza are on all of them. This is the trip that crosses it off. Five nights in Cairo covering Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara and Memphis, a felucca on the Nile at sunset, a day on the Mediterranean in Alexandria, and the Khan El Khalili bazaar — a thousand years old and still trading.

Who it suits
Budget-conscious programmes that still want a headline destination, and curious groups who value seeing something historic over lying on a beach.
Works well for a broad qualifier tier because the price point lets you take more people. Set expectations about heat and walking, and note that this is the one itinerary in the catalogue with no beach, pool or downtime component to speak of.
Mike's take on Egypt — Cairo
No other trip in our catalogue gives a group this much bucket-list value for this little money. If your qualification tier is broad, or your budget is tight, or you simply want the reward to be something nobody argues with, Egypt is extremely hard to beat. It is a sightseeing week rather than an adventure one — expect heat, a lot of walking on uneven ground, and photographs your reps will keep for the rest of their lives.
