Egypt

Modern Egypt is considered to be a regional and middle power, with significant cultural, political, and military influence in North Africa, the Middle East and the Muslim world.[15] Its economy is one of the largest and most diversified in the Middle East, with sectors such as tourism, agriculture, industry and services at almost equal production levels. In 2011, longtime President Hosni Mubarak stepped down amid mass protests. Later elections saw the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was ousted by the army a year later amid mass protests.

Egypt is the land of history, both modern and ancient. Sometimes overrun by tourists, the sights here are not any less magnificent than they were when Alexander the Great passed by. Among the wealth of the pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings, the temples of Luxor and the timeless grace of the Nile, you are simultaneously in the past and in the present. A cruise down the slow river is an amazing experience; you will witness the everyday life of the villages perched on the banks, experience the wonder that fresh water can bring to the otherwise mostly desert land and perhaps, connect the dots from the distant past to now – very little has changed in the scenery since the regal tombs were built.

Another wonder that Egypt has to offer lies in the Red Sea. While the towns of Sharm and Hurghada can be busy and not that charming, the waters surrounding the area are a marvel. The only way to experience the impressive wrecks, the stunning walls, the incredible pinnacles and the plethora of fish is to take a liveaboard that is able to whisk you from one site to another. You can expect to see mantas, schooling hammerheads, different reef sharks and of course, lots of reef fish and corals on the marine parks in the area. We represent the best of the many liveaboards in the area, including the Emperor Fleet, the Serpent Fleet and more. These excellent yachts all have various different itineraries - we will match you with the best boat and the best itinerary.
