What does an adventurer do in Egypt besides looking at the pyramids?

Plenty: climb inside one, walk down into a king’s tomb, snorkel over a coral reef, and even sleep in the desert.

The adventure tours in Egypt on this page are made for travelers who would rather do things than watch from a bus window. The trips last from two days to two weeks, and you travel by car, plane, boat, and 4x4. Most include a guide, a driver, hotel pickup, and your hotels along the way.

Adventure holidays in Egypt usually start in Caïro. At Giza, you can climb the narrow passage inside the Great Pyramid, and ride a camel across the sand behind it. Some tours go on to Alexandrië, where a stone fort guards the Mediterranean Sea.

In Luxor, adventurers goes underground. You walk down long painted corridors into the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, and the valley holds more than 60 of them. Early risers can float over the Nile in a hot air balloon at sunrise.

In Aswan, small boats weave between granite islands to Nubian villages, and some tours sail between the two cities on a Nile cruise.

Then you swap water for golden sands.

At Hurghada on the Red Sea, you can snorkel over coral reefs full of bright fish, or at the White Desert, a 4x4 takes you across the sand to a camp among white rocks shaped like mushrooms, and you sleep under the stars.

Pick your tour by the type of adventure you prefer. If you have less than a week, the six-day Around Egypt tour packs Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan into one fast trip. If you have longer days and love wild places, choose one of the adventure tours in Egypt that include the Red Sea trips or nights of desert camping.
