When it comes to sublime scenery, history, and unforgettable cultural experiences, few places in the world can rival Egypt. As a holiday destination for visitors from Singapore to Egypt who want to experience a world of ancient ruins, lively bazaars, and sumptuous Nile cruises, Egypt offers a special holiday retreat.
And with Tailwinds Travels as your guide, moving around this vibrant destination is convenient and rewarding. As one of Singapore’s luxury tour operators, Tailwinds helps craft experiences that blend history, adventure, and comfort into your travels.
Let us lead you through some of the best experiences in Egypt — a country where each nook and cranny has a story to tell.
Marvel at the Great Pyramids of Giza
Your Egypt experience starts with one of the world’s greatest wonders. Gazing up at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, you cannot help but marvel at its scale and antiquity. A short stroll away, the Sphinx guards the dunes of the desert, a timeless emblem of power and mystery.
Guided tours are available here from Tailwinds with knowledgeable Egyptologists who breathe new life into the stones with tales.
Visit the Egyptian Museum, Cairo
A repository of the world’s finest collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities, Cairo’s Egyptian Museum is a treasure trove of mummies, jewellery, and everyday items of the Pharaonic era.
The pièce de résistance? King Tutankhamun’s golden mask and personal belongings.
Tailwinds ensures you don’t miss out on the lesser-known but fascinating attractions by arranging expert-guided tours.
Travel the Nile in Style
One of the most serene experiences for exploring Egypt is on a Nile River cruise. While you make your way along the Nile from Luxor to Aswan, you cruise past temples, villages, and lush riverbanks.
Imagine yourself with a mint tea in hand on deck while the sun sets behind an ancient temple.
Tailwinds Travels books private cabins and luxurious cruises so your river travel will be peaceful and intimate.
Tour the Luxor and Karnak Temples
Landmarks from the past are around every corner in Luxor. The Karnak and Luxor temples are two of the most beautiful religious buildings ever built.
Walk through Karnak’s Hypostyle Hall and be amazed by towering stone columns that have survived centuries. And don’t forget the evening light shows that bring the temples’ histories to life.
Go to the Valley of the Kings
Last resting place of Tutankhamun, the Valley of the Kings is a not-to-be-missed attraction for all visitors to ancient Egypt.
Visit richly painted tombs and learn about the rituals of the burial of royalty. Tailwinds offers early entrance tours in order to beat the crowds and get the most out of your visit.
Marvel at the Temple of Hatshepsut
One of the most striking monuments of the Upper Nile, this mortuary temple of Egypt’s first woman pharaoh dominates the cliff location at Deir el-Bahari.
Its symmetry and storytelling are not to be missed.
Visit the Temple of Philae in Aswan
Dedicated to Isis, the Temple of Philae, situated on an island and only accessible by boat, has an ethereal atmosphere and well-preserved carvings that render it a spiritual and visual centerpiece.
See Abu Simbel for Yourself
Abu Simbel’s two temples, built by Ramses II, are renowned for their colossal statues and inner chambers. The monuments were relocated in a massive UNESCO-project to avoid being submerged.
Tailwinds offers effortless day excursions with guided commentary that unfolds the scale and fervor behind the temples.
Discover Alexandria’s Coastal Charm
Leave the desert behind and step into the Mediterranean. Alexandria, with its Greco-Roman heritage and sea-facing beauty, is a welcome respite.
Visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern tribute to the ancient Library of Alexandria, and taste fresh seafood by the seashore. Visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Qaitbay Citadel, and Montaza Palace Gardens.
Discover Cairo’s Local Life
Cairo is a flamboyant, free-flowing explosion of life. Spend the day at the Egyptian Museum, gaze at the Islamic architecture of the Citadel of Saladin, or wander through Coptic Cairo.
Don’t miss Khan El Khalili bazaar to buy spices, silver, and souvenirs. Tailwinds provides carefully planned city tours so that you can see Cairo safely and in style.
Camp Under the Stars in the White Desert
For the adventurous, a White Desert camping safari is an out-of-this-world experience. Wind and time have shaped the desert into chalk mountains that glint in the night sky.
Overnight safaris can be arranged by Tailwinds with private chefs and experienced guides.
Optional Red Sea Break in Sharm El-Sheikh or Hurghada
If you’d prefer to unwind after your history-filled itinerary, the Red Sea coast is perfect. Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh have beautiful beaches, coral reefs, diving trips, and luxurious resorts.
