Almost 2,500 years ago, Herodotus cautioned his readers, “I am going to talk at some length about Egypt because it has produced more monuments which beggar description than anywhere else in the world.” Time has only added luster to his words (and even more monuments). Egypt fanciers that we are, we’re eager to introduce our travelers to those famous monuments, and to out-of-the-way gems: hikes up Mount Sinai, visits to remote western oases, cruises on Lake Nasser, close looks at faded yet lovely Alexandria. We pride ourselves on our access to the finest Egyptologists and on the quality of our arrangements: cruise boats with balconies (which most of our competitors don’t offer), the best available accommodations and vehicles throughout the country, and the ability to arrange everything from walking tours in Cairo to intimate experiences of Nile-side weaving villages.
