SevenTravel Announces New and Unique Travel Experience in Egypt
From a private out of hours visit to the Pyramids, to an exclusive viewing of the Sphinx, this is the ultimate itinerary to explore Egypt's classic sights in luxury
SevenTravel (seventravel.co.uk), a positive-impact, luxury travel company, has unveiled a brand-new Egypt itinerary to offer explorers the ultimate holiday adventure with insider access to the Pyramids of Giza. The new experience is designed with the modern cultural traveller in mind and is set to deliver maximum wow factor, prior to the long-awaited opening of the new Grand Egyptian Museum.
The trip, which takes places across 12 days, begins in Cairo - the bustling capital of Egypt. Here guests will receive the luxury treatment at the five-star Marriott Mena House, which features wonderful views of the world-famous pyramids, alongside elegantly furnished rooms and lavish gardens. Adventurers will enjoy spending their days sampling the local cuisine, wandering the medieval Citadel and the show-stopping Ottoman-style Alabaster Mosque, before taking in the beguiling landmarks with sundowners.
Across the next few days, travellers will enjoy a scenic trip as they set sail on a traditional felucca boat across the Nile. Accompanied by a SevenTravel guide, they will delve into the riveting history of Egypt's star attractions, The Pyramids of Giza and The Sphinx. It is here, guests will explore on an exclusive guided out-of-hours tour inside the ancient pyramid, dating back nearly 5,000 years.
Unlike other visits, where visitors join the crowds when they visit the Pyramids, this time they can be seen with no-one else around. This is the ultimate private guided out-of-hours visit to experience the world's Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, one of mankind's most celebrated achievements and a landmark that ranks top on every traveller's wish-list when they visit Egypt.
The exclusive tour takes place over two hours, either at sunrise or sunset, and provides travellers the chance to experience the Pyramids at their haunting, marvellous best. Not only that, SevenTravel can also offer private behind-the-scenes tours of the Sphinx, Museum of Civilisation or the Philae Temple – all of which would be the highlight of any SevenTravel trip to Egypt.
On the days that follow, travellers will discover the remarkable architecture of the Philae Temple, covered in ancient hieroglyphics, and dedicated to the goddess Isis. A tour of the crocodile necropolis of Kom Ombo awaits, where guests will find a Ptolemaic temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon-headed Horus, God of the morning sun. Additional itinerary highlights include a visit to the great burial place of the Pharaohs, the Valley of the Kings – where Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922.
Egypt casts a spell like no other place: as a cradle of civilisation, a wellspring of cultural inspiration and a bucket-list destination. Travellers have flocked to the land of the pharaohs since Roman times but there's never been a better time to visit than now as opening this year is the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) in Cairo, a billion-dollar complex whose collection includes never-before-seen artifacts and the entire collection of King Tut's riches.
SevenTravel offers access to 100 percent custom, high-end experiences that are sure to secure bragging rights. Some standout experiences include renting an entire Monaco-sized island in the Indian Ocean, crafting a personalised wine blend in Argentina, going behind the scenes in one of Sri Lanka's seldom-visited national parks and experiencing a tea ceremony in a private Machiya, a traditional Japanese wooden townhouse, in Kyoto. SevenTravel creates luxurious itineraries, with a personal approach to ensure a unique trip every time.
The brand encourages clients to linger longer and connect deeper to the location's surroundings, so travellers can authentically immerse themselves and get under the skin of that place - taking treasured memories and a fresh perspective home.
