Everyone looks for different things from travel but one thing that is common to creating great memories on tour is that time to just simply be in a place. That time you get to yourself to explore the world in a way that is of interest to you.

Egyptian food is tasty so we’ve asked our team to share some of their favourite dishes for you to try at home. They’ve wowed us with some simple but delicious Egyptian recipes for molokheya soup, falafel and more.

I was lucky enough to take my family on a trip to magnificent Egypt last year and amongst all of the amazing touring that we had planned I had also scheduled a couple of nights in a luxury hotel, the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan.

It’s no secret that we have been committed to the Egypt tourism sector for many years. It has been a favourite destination of the Bunnik family for as long as they can remember, and between Dennis, Sacha and Marion, they have visited the region more than 100 times!

The true test of whether a so called tourism icon is either over-rated or lives up to the hype is your reaction when you visit for the third time.

When I first walked into Karnak Temple 5 years ago I knew it was special, but it was not until I returned this week that I realised the power it had over me…

As an experienced world traveller, for some reason the Middle East was a destination that I figured I’d always get to, just later. After 10 days in Egypt I can honestly say the time to go is now!

Enjoying local delicacies can broaden our understanding of the places we visit, the people who live there and can allow us to truly connect with a destination. Food is not the only reason we travel but it certainly has the power to make strong memories.
