Marvel at pyramids, temples, and tombs—and sail along the Nile—with fellow solo travelers.

The perfect day in Egypt involves forkfuls of falafel, a sensorial stroll through a busy souk, and a whole lot of ancient history. With fellow solo travelers by your side, you’ll decipher hieroglyphics carved into towering temples, stand in the shadows of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and take to the Nile by boat—because no trip to Egypt is complete until you discover the wonders of the world’s longest, and most storied, river. Extend your trip to Alexandria, where ancient wisdom flows along the Mediterranean coast.

1st-time traveler Jeff, traveled in Sep 2024

Was everything that I expected. Travel partner in-country really excelled at making transitions as smooth as possible - especially pickup and dropoff at Cairo. They made sure you got where you needed to be. Only downside was that, IMO, there were too many sales oriented stops -...
