From Cairo's ancient relics to Sharm El-Sheikh's stunning beaches, Egypt has so much to explore!
From exploring historical Cairo, to cruising the Nile, to unwinding at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt has it all.
Hit the Shops
Wander through one of Cairo's many markets & bazaars. Like a maze, the markets are filled with hundreds of vendors. Treat yourself to local crafts & Egyptian cotton, or try some of the local produce.
Take a Dip
Egypt may be mostly desert, but Sharm El-Sheikh boasts some of the most beautiful beaches. Famous for its diving, this beautiful coastline is lined with palm trees and is the perfect place to unwind.
Explore the Ancient World
4,500 years ago the famous Gazi Pyramids were constructed for the Pharaohs expected to become Gods in the afterlife. Explore one of the only surviving relics of the ancient world just outside of Cairo.
Miles to Explore
About 95% of Egypt's total area is desert. The unique landscape is the best location for SYB to adventure!
Cairo is one of the largest cities in Africa, and its rich culture is something we can't wait to experience. Visiting the New Egyptian Museum, we'll learn about the vast history of Egypt (many of the practices & traditions developed in Egypt were implemented into Western culture!) and maybe even pick up a few hieroglyphics to impress our friends back home.
While in the city, we'll hop on a dinner cruise on the Nile River, the world's longest river! We'll chow down on local cuisine and dance the night away as we take in the city views from the water. We'll also have dinner at Cairo Tower, where we'll see the city from the sky! Just watch out for the mummies, they're known to be a little stiff on the dance floor.
Before we let loose SYB style with the drinks, we'll also get to stop by local markets and bazaars to get some souvenirs to bring home. Don't be fooled; these markets have hundreds of alleys and streets, so we'll stick together to ensure no one gets lost in the maze and ends up in a tomb.
No fear, we won't just learn about Egypt's ancient history like a bunch of boring old mummies but will see it firsthand as we head to the Giza Valley. Home to some of the world's most impressive monuments!
You'll discover the history and ancient relics of the Giza Valley on our private journey. But why just look when we can experience? We'll hop on some camels and ride into the sunset as we live out our desert fantasies. Just don't get too close to the camels, they're known to spit when they're feeling sassy.
With access to the Red Sea, Sharm El-Sheikh is the perfect place following our busy days exploring the city & dessert to unwind. We will snorkel, explore the coral reefs, do sunset yoga, and do beach boot camps. Welcome to the ultimate group travel to Egypt!
TESTIMONIALS
As we begin this trip, we will meet in Cairo and fly into Cairo International Airport (CAI).
Cairo is Egypt's capital city and is the second largest city in Africa. Set on the Nile River, the largest river in the world, the city is beyond rich in history and culture. With markets, bazaars, and a trove of antiquities and artifacts, Cairo has a ton to explore. Nearby, Giza is the sight of the infamous pyramids and the Sphinx.
Aside from Cairo, we will also be heading to Sharm El-Sheikh, a resort town between the desert of the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea. It is known for its sheltered, sandy beaches, clear water and coral reefs.
After exploring the beautiful Cairo area and unwinding at Sharm El-Sheik, we will all depart.
We will stay at Sonesta Tower Resort in Cairo before heading to the Royal Moderna in Sharm El-Sheikh. These beautiful accommodations are in prime locations to get out and explore the surrounding areas!
The Egyptian Pound is the currency of Egypt. It is best practice to use Pounds in Egypt, but travellers will find the best rates once they arrive.
USD, British Pounds and Euros are the most accessible currencies to convert once you arrive. Cairo International Airport has many 24-hour banks to complete these transactions.
Most credit and debit cards are accepted at most restaurants, businesses and retailers.
ATMs are widely available throughout Cairo and most tourist areas of Egypt, but we urge you to prepare and withdraw cash at the airport for ease & best conversion rates!
We suggest bringing E£300 to E£400 to use at bars, a few of our dinners, or for any shopping, but otherwise, we've got you covered!
Part of the SYB lifestyle is enjoying fresh and local cuisines. Egyptian cuisine relies heavily on vegetables and legumes but also incorporates beef, lamb and chicken into the culture, primarily in grilling.
Koshary is Egypt's national dish and is an Egyptian staple, mixing pasta, rice and brown lentils, topped with a zesty tomato sauce and garlic vinegar and garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onions.
We get to have a few dinners at local restaurants, so get excited to explore local areas & indulge in the cuisines and culture!
Drinking tap water in Egypt is not recommended due to the high chlorine levels. The water is considered safe in Cairo but bottled, and filtered water is readily available and recommended.
Egypt is safe for travellers, but with any travel, risk is always associated. There are risks of petty crime and pickpockets - we suggest not carrying all your valuables with you.
Our accommodations will have safes for us to leave our valuables in, and we suggest leaving all important items in the safe while we are out exploring - but maybe keep your Yeezys and nice jewelry at home!
