Egypt Tour Example:
"From Alexandria to Aswan"
Hotels we used, and further information

1. The accommodation used:

Here is a short presentation of the accommodation used for this specific tour. For most of the hotels we have further links to better presentation in this site, still not for all as Nile Hilton and the cruise ship used. Reason for this is first of all that what is presented here of hotels and cruises is just a sample of what we have available. Secondly, that we are free from any financial bindings to any hotels or cruise, and therefore can tailor make a tour exclusively to the need of each tour.

Nile Hilton in the middle of Cairo

Nile Hilton is the original Hilton hotel in Cairo, located with the Nile on one side and the heart of downtown on the other. It's no artificial luxury here, all is real - and the nightclub on the top is one of the places where the real megastars of oriental dance ("bellydance") may perform.

From the Metropole Hotel in Alexandria See larger photo

In Alexandria we used Metropole Hotel which opened its doors for the first time in 1902. The hotel is located close to the railway station and in the heart of Alexandria's business and embassies district, directly overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Day 12 was the time where our guests should cross the Nile to the west bank of Luxor. Here they first visited three royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the majestic terrace temple of Hatshepsut.

New Cataract Hotel, as seen from the Nile See larger photo

New Cataract Hotel was the hotel we used in Aswan. It was opened in 1963 as an elegant extension to Old Cataract Hotel. Situated in the same exotic and large garden, directly by the Nile and overlooking Elephantine Island.

Our own Nile cruise ship See larger photo

We had this time chartered our own cruise ship, and selected this time one of the ships from Abercrombie & Kent. A very good Nile cruise boat with a very high standard kitchen and service.

The entrance section of New Winter Palace See larger photo

New Winter Palace was our selection for Luxor. Built in the sixties, New Winter Palace was a much needed extension to the famous Winter Palace which then became the "Old" Winter Palace. Both hotels are connected so you can walk from one of the hotels to the other from inside, plus both share same large exotic garden and swimming pool area.

Entrance to the temple of Abydos See larger photo

In Minya we stayed at Mercure Nefertiti & Aton Hotel in the middle of the city. The best place to get to Beni Hassan, Tell El Amarna and Hermopolis from.

One country, lot's of options

This example of a tour is nothing but a tiny example of what is possible. Some want more of the spiritual and religious part. For Christianity alone Egypt provides the history about the holy family in Egypt, the disciple St. Mark who came here around year 30 B.C., and the monasteries. The first monastery in Christianity is found in the eastern desert, south of Suez.

Culture and cultures meet in Egypt See larger photo

In Egypt it's not only grand monuments, it's the local people and the contemporary culture. In addition it's the mix of all cultures of the world meeting during their visits to Egypt.

View of Lake Nasser from the high dam See larger photo

And Egypt is more than the Nile and the Red Sea. Above is a view of the beginning of Lake Nasser, and all around the Nile is the desert full of adventures. MyWay Travel helps you to open doors not used by the masses...

In the middle of Cairo lies one of it's secret, the restaurant and bar Estorile. We will tell you why you should visit Estorile

Luxor is a rather small town compared to Cairo and Alexandria. Still, no place on this planet can you find so many monuments gathered at one place as here. One normally needs more than a package tour to be able to enjoy the city and see a fair part of what is found here.
