With the hugely successful completeion of our October 2025 Egypt Experience tour, we are now planning for next year. We will start with March 2026.
The GEM is open for visitors and we have added an extra day to accomodate that. But Egypt is not just museums and there is so much more to see. There are tombs that will blow your mind when you first walk inside. There are temples so magnificent you will be lost for words. It is indeed a magical place!
We begin in Cairo with the first pyramids, then fly south to Luxor for 6 days before returning to Cairo for your chance to venture inside the Great Pyramid.
The tour cost covers everything from your arrival in Cairo to your departure (Ts&Cs apply) - and if you get on board as a couple or friends sharing; we will give you an extra discount each.
It's an adventure you'll never forget! More info and to book: https://www.gnttours.co.za
