🇪🇬 Egypt is one of those destinations that feels almost impossible to imagine until you're actually there.

One moment you're standing beneath the Pyramids of Giza, trying to comprehend how these ancient wonders were built thousands of years ago. The next, you're sailing along the Nile, watching palm-fringed riverbanks drift by much as they have for centuries.

For many travellers, Egypt isn't just a holiday. It's a journey through one of the world's greatest civilisations.

✨ Explore the legendary Pyramids and the Great Sphinx
✨ Wander through the vast Temple of Karnak and experience its famous Sound and Light Show
✨ Visit the impressive Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt
✨ Discover the Valley of the Kings, where Egypt's rulers were laid to rest in elaborately decorated tombs
✨ Step inside the Egyptian Museum and come face-to-face with treasures that have survived for millennia
✨ Experience the contrast between bustling Cairo and the peaceful rhythm of life along the Nile

One of the highlights has to be a Nile cruise itself. While the ancient sites are undeniably spectacular, there's something magical about relaxing on deck as the landscapes of Upper Egypt unfold around you. Villages, farmland and desert scenery create a backdrop that feels wonderfully timeless.

And then there's Abu Simbel. Those enormous rock-cut temples, carved directly into the mountainside, are often described as one of the most breathtaking sights in Egypt... and it's easy to see why.

For solo travellers in particular, escorted tours like this can be a fantastic way to experience destinations that might otherwise feel daunting, combining expert guidance, fascinating history and the chance to share the journey with like-minded travellers. And you can travel in 2028 with no solo supplement!

Have you ever visited Egypt, or is it still on your travel wish list? 🐫✨

Just Booked!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍

2 of my lovely Solo customers have just booked on to a 5 day (4 night) Scottish getaway EXCLUSIVELY for Solos taking in some of Scotland's most beautiful highlights

Many people hear Solo travelling and think it means just going by yourself but it's not (unless you want it to be!), so many friends want to travel together but also want to have a room to themselves and this type of Solo holiday is perfect!

There are SO many options for Solos - just ask me if you'd like more info ☺️

One thing I’m noticing more and more lately… people are planning further ahead than ever ✈️🌍And honestly, it makes sense...

One thing I’m noticing more and more lately… people are planning further ahead than ever ✈️🌍

And honestly, it makes sense.

The best escorted tours and specialist holidays can get surprisingly busy early, especially the popular dates and solo spaces. So being able to secure something now for 2027, or even 2028, without needing a big upfront payment, is actually pretty handy 👀

Newmarket Holidays currently have a Zero Deposit offer available on their touring holidays that depart on or after 1st January 2027. You'll need to set up a Direct Debit with me at the time of booking, which is ideal for spreading the cost. The last date to book with Zero Deposit is 16th June.

This offer is perfect if you’ve been thinking about:
🗺️ Touring holidays
🚂 Scenic rail journeys
🏔️ Exploring multiple destinations in one trip
🌸 Cultural and sightseeing holidays
👣 Escorted adventures without the stress of planning everything yourself

If 2027 or 2028 travel plans are already floating around in your head, now’s not a bad time to start looking 😊

There’s also currently 15% off selected touring holidays! Just let me know where you'd like to explore next 😍
