Nile Cruise

About the destination: Cairo, one of the largest cities in both Africa and the Middle East, is the capital of Egypt. Cairo has been a centre of great importance to many civilisations, cultures and religions. From Pharaonic and Greco-Roman to Ottoman and European, and passing by Jewish, Christian, and Islamic, each of its identities has left a strong imprint on Cairo, thus making it one of the most fascinating cities in the world. The Giza Plateau, that includes the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, is the only remaining monuments of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the country's most famous tourist attraction. The sheer mass of the pyramids is awe inspiring. Islamic Cairo, the centre of historic Cairo, is best done on foot. Located east of downtown, it is full of charming little mosques and water fountains. The most important sites to visit are the Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque, Khan el Khalili, the main bazaar, some historic mosques and displays of medieval architecture, as well as some of Cairo's Turkish baths or Hammams. No visit to Cairo is complete without seeing the Egyptian Museum. Exotic atmosphere, chaotic traffic, thousands of minarets, noise, charming people, Cairo is a fascinating city. Few cities in the world surpass Cairo in number of monuments or architectural styles. Cairo is not an ordinary city, Cairo is a whole world.

About the destination: The Ras Abu Soma promontory and the bay of Soma are known as “Soma Bay”, an area located close to the town of Safaga and approx. 50 km away from Hurghada. The peninsula hosts a self-contained luxury holiday resort with a superior 5-star standard and a marina. Further high-standard hotel facilities are situated along the bay. The touristic activities around the bay focus on diving, golfing, surfing and wellness. Excursions with dive boats to the coral reefs near the beach are very popular due to the high biodiversity. Alternatively, a 420-meter-long bridge offers the possibility to "walk over the water" right up to the outer edge of the reef, where you can enter the water at the local dive base.
