The history and archaeological relics in Egypt are well-known but what is often a secret is the amazing sea life and world-class diving opportunities found just an hour’s flight from Cairo in the Red Sea. Below is an itinerary that would allow groups to see the best of both. After exploring the pyramids, museums and culture in Cairo, the group would fly to Hurghada (Sharm El Sheik is another possibility) to enjoy the sandy beaches, crystal-clear blue water and explore the desert of the Bedouins.
