Forbes magazine has chosen Egypt as one of 3 extraordinary travel adventures around the world for 2027, as Backroads prepares to launch its first trips to Egypt as part of a luxury tour program that combines adventure, exploration and history.
The trip offers a complete experience including hiking, cycling and kayaking, along with stays in luxury hotels and a multi-day Nile cruise from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan.
The trip takes visitors to Egypt's most prominent landmarks, from the Giza Pyramids to Luxor's West Bank and its royal tombs and on to the temples of Abu Simbel. It also includes kayaking on the Nile and visiting temples and villages along its banks, accompanied by a specialist Egyptian Egyptologist who explains the history of the sites to visitors, according to the official Facebook page of the Egyptian Cabinet.
