From the Pyramids to the Red Sea: Curating Your Bespoke Egyptian Journey

Egypt is a land of powerful contrasts—ancient history and modern luxury, endless deserts and vibrant reefs, sacred temples and stylish cityscapes. But the true magic happens when you experience Egypt your way.

A bespoke journey lets you explore Egypt at your own pace, with every detail tailored to match your curiosity and comfort. This is luxury travel with meaning—personal, immersive, and unforgettable.

Start at the Top: Private Wonder at the Pyramids

Begin your journey where it all started: the Great Pyramids of Giza. But skip the crowds and step into the past with a private sunrise tour, led by a seasoned Egyptologist. You'll enter before the gates open to the public, allowing for quiet reflection and uninterrupted photography.

Afterward, enjoy:

• A personalized visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum with access to restricted collections
• A stroll through Islamic Cairo, tailored to your interests—architecture, calligraphy, or hidden gems
• A rooftop dinner in Zamalek with curated local cuisine and river views

Your nights in Cairo could be spent in luxury suites at The St. Regis, Marriott Mena House with direct pyramid views, or Four Seasons Nile Plaza for urban elegance.

The Nile on Your Terms: Boutique Cruising from Luxor to Aswan

Sailing the Nile is an iconic experience, but it doesn’t have to follow the usual script. A bespoke Nile cruise means you decide the tempo.

Choose your vessel:

• Dahabiya sailboat for a traditional, intimate feel (ideal for couples or small groups)
• Oberoi Zahra or Sanctuary Sun Boat IV for luxury river cruising with spa and butler service
• Privately chartered cruise designed entirely around your schedule and sites of interest

Enjoy curated stops:

• Exclusive entry to temples like Karnak, Edfu, and Kom Ombo, with your own Egyptologist
• Sunset dining on deck under the stars
• Yoga sessions by the river or cooking classes on board

Each moment is crafted not just for sightseeing—but for soul-stirring discovery.

Oasis Escapes: Desert Luxury in Siwa and Beyond

Trade monuments for moonlit sands and palm-fringed springs in Siwa Oasis, one of Egypt’s most peaceful and mystical corners.

Stay at Adrère Amellal, a completely off-grid eco-lodge with no electricity, candlelit ambiance, and architecture sculpted from salt rock and clay. It’s serene, silent, and stunning.

Your desert itinerary can include:

• 4x4 safaris through the Great Sand Sea
• Stargazing with zero light pollution
• Visits to ancient ruins and oracles
• Spa sessions using desert herbs and minerals

This is where wellness, culture, and exclusivity converge—perfect for disconnecting in style.

Dive into Luxury: The Red Sea, Redefined

After the desert, head to the coast. Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera is a paradise for refined relaxation and adventure.

In El Gouna, indulge in:

• Designer villas with private pools
• Personal dive instructors for coral reef exploration
• Sunset yacht charters with gourmet onboard chefs

In Sahl Hasheesh or Soma Bay, unwind at resorts like The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh or Kempinski Soma Bay, where wellness centers, fine dining, and sea-view suites meet barefoot luxury.

Red Sea experiences can include:

• Private snorkeling safaris
• Sandbank picnics arranged just for you
• Exclusive spa rituals inspired by local healing practices

Whether you're diving into coral kingdoms or lounging beachside with a glass of wine, this stretch of Egypt offers bliss with polish.

Add Cultural Depth in Luxor and Aswan

Luxor and Aswan offer history that feels alive. But with custom travel, you can go deeper than traditional group tours.

In Luxor:

• Visit the Valley of the Kings with early or after-hours access
• Explore Karnak Temple with an expert who makes history vivid
• Enjoy private hot air balloon rides over ancient Thebes at dawn

In Aswan:

• Sail to Philae Temple by private boat
• Visit a Nubian village with an artisan guide
• Stay at the legendary Sofitel Old Cataract Hotel, favored by Agatha Christie and royal guests alike

These cities connect the past to your present—luxuriously and intimately.
