This was our thirteenth Exodus trip and this Egyptian odyssey certainly didn’t fall short of the high standards that keep bringing us back to Exodus as a travel company. Alexandria to Aswan is jam packed with breathtaking sights, extraordinary monuments and mind-boggling history, as well as moments of serenity and beauty, especially when drifting along the Nile either on the cruise ship or on a Felucca. My one reservation is that because so much is packed into what is effectively just twelve days it does feel a little rushed at times. It would have been good to spend perhaps an extra night in Alexandria and also Aswan. For me the the best Exodus trips do have a bit of time to breathe. Yes, it would make it a bit more expensive but this really ought to be a full two weeks. However, this shouldn’t put anyone off. It’s full of thrilling awe inspiring moments but you will need a good deal of energy to enjoy it all. Although thankfully there’s nowhere near as much driving as in some Exodus trips.
Red Sea
Red Sea Trips
The Red Sea is a long strip of the Indian Ocean that divides Africa and Asia. Historically, it’s where Moses parted the waters and led the Jewish people out of Egypt and to freedom. Today, it’s also known for offering some of the best diving in the world.
Here, you can explore the magnificent underwater wildlife and unique coral gardens, either by snorkelling or perhaps in a semi-submersible vessel, before returning to dry land and the chance to relax. Plus, with year-round sunshine, Red Sea holidays are perfect for catching some winter rays.

Megan Carey Ancient Egypt & Nile CruiseI highly recommend booking this trip if you want a fascinating exploration through ancient and modern Egypt. We got to see so many places that felt straight out of a National Geographic documentary! We had a small group of seven plus our exceptional tour guide named Rania who helped make this truly the trip of a lifetime. I have been a lot of cool places in the world but I believe this may be this coolest thing I have ever done. 10/10
