You’ve probably already heard the news and if you haven’t we suggest you come out of your cave as the whole of the UK has been given more holidays next year! Whether you just can’t wait until the big day or couldn’t care less about Prince William and Kate Middleton there’s no denying it – we are getting an extra bank holiday.
This extra day off begs the question… what shall I do with it?
This Egyptian adventure begins in Cairo, taking in the great pyramids and Sphinx before taking the overnight train to Luxor and your hotel with a rooftop pool. Have browsed the bazaar and explored the East Bank sights, you’ll cross the Nile, visit the Valley of the Kings and board a traditional felucca and sail around Aswan’s islands. Back on dry land you’ll swap the felucca for a camel and ride to the Monastery of St Simeon before continuing up river to a Nubian village to try out the local specialties for dinner. Price for this departure from £345pp including transport (felucca, private bus, train), activities, B&B accommodation (including 1 night felucca), some meals (1 lunch, 3 dinners) plus a local tour leader. Flights available with Imaginative Traveller from £316pp. Imaginative Traveller (0845 077 8803 / www.imaginative-traveller.co.uk)
