Built Around Your Group — Not A Fixed Departure.

Groups of friends, families, multi-generational travel, wellness retreat leaders, corporate groups, women’s groups, and dive groups adding Egypt to their Red Sea charter. Any group that wants Egypt done properly — privately, at their own pace, with real cultural depth.

We work with locally owned farms, independent artisans, and local healers — giving your group access to the Egypt that most visitors never reach.

For wellness & retreat groups

Egypt was built around transformation — temples, tombs, and rebirth rituals 3,000 years before the first modern retreat. Where ancient sacred sites meet the world’s most mineral-rich sea, Boreas runs both components under one operator — land programme and Red Sea charter, end to end.

Cairo, Luxor & Aswan — Where We Go.

Three cities. Three layers of Egyptian civilisation — pharaonic, Ptolemaic, and Nubian. Each stop combines iconic monuments with off-circuit access to local culture.

🏺 Cairo
Pyramids · Grand Museum · Old Cairo

Pyramids of Giza before-hours private access, the Grand Egyptian Museum with private Egyptologist guide, Old Cairo’s ancient mosques and bazaars. Beyond the circuit: organic farms, rooftop sound healing sessions, local artisan cooperatives, and community kitchens.

🌅 Luxor
Valley of Kings · Karnak · Hot Air Balloon

Valley of the Kings, Karnak at dawn, Luxor Temple, and hot air balloon over the Nile at sunrise. On the West Bank: local families who have farmed this land alongside the pharaonic monuments for generations.

⛵ Aswan
Abu Simbel · Philae · Nubian Villages

Abu Simbel, Philae Temple, felucca on the Nile at sunset. And the Nubian villages on the river’s edge — one of the oldest continuous cultures on earth, with their own language, music, and food.

🌾 Beyond the Tourist Circuit
Local · Artisan · Community

Locally owned farms, independent artisans, and local healers — experiences that most visitors never reach. Support for local communities is built into every Boreas land programme.

🧘 Wellness Experiences
Sound Healing · Yoga · Local Farm

Cairo retreat day — yoga and sound healing at a local farm. Rooftop sessions above the city. Ancient Egypt was transformation — your programme can reflect that.

🏜️ Desert & Adventure
Jeep · Fayoum · Bedouin

Jeep desert tour to Fayoum Oasis with Bedouin lunch. Camel ride at the Pyramids of Giza. For scuba and adventure groups, this is Egypt for once-in-a-lifetime — before boarding Boreas.

Signature Experiences — What Your Group Can Include.

Every experience is privately guided and arranged for your group only. No shared buses, no queues with strangers. Your pace, your interest, your Egypt.

Signature experiences — selectable per programme
Pyramids of Giza before-hours private access — no crowds, private Egyptologist guide
Grand Egyptian Museum — privately guided, full access
Hot air balloon over Luxor at sunrise — Valley of the Kings from above

Combine With The Red Sea — One Journey, One Operator.

Egypt is the only country on earth where your group can stand inside a pharaoh’s tomb in the morning and snorkel above a living coral reef by the weekend. The combined 7-night programme ends in Luxor with a hot air balloon at sunrise — then a transfer to Port Ghalib Marina to board Boreas. One journey, one operator, zero logistics.

FAQ

Questions About The Egypt Land Tour
