EGYPT off the beaten path
We travel in small groups of 6-12 people, relying on a network of close friends among carriers, hoteliers and restaurateurs.
Our programs are 7-11 days long, but we encourage everyone to extend their stay individually to places we know and recommend.
We can also organize an individual tour on a selected date.
