It
was in 1940 that Erwin Rommel took command of the Afrika Korps. The German
commander staged daring strikes against British Commonwealth forces. He
nearly succeeded in taking Cairo and changing the course of history.
On
this three-day excursion from Cairo, we’ll recall those decisive
days, witness some of the conditions experienced by troops of both sides,
and come to appreciate the grandeur and glory of the Western Desert. And
we’ll delve into military affairs more ancient, as we discover the
traces of Alexander the Great.
In
the Steps of Alexander the Great
Five Days / Four Nights- Start daily
Alexander
the Great conquered the known world of his day. And he spent a considerable
portion of his days conquering Egypt. There is even ample evidence that
his final resting place is in or near a northern oasis. Over five days
and four nights, we’ll retrace the fabulous episodes of Alexander.
He didn’t just lend his name to Alexandria. He left a lasting legacy
that you can experience, along with a memorable taste of desert life.
In
the Steps of Moses
Four Days/ Three Nights - Start Daily
Moses
and the Israelites wandered for years in the Sinai. It will take you just
a few days to discover the secret beauty of this wilderness and appreciate
its eternal majesty. We’ll take winding tracks and spend one night
in tents, as we penetrate to Mount Sinai itself. We’ll also uncover
the concealed fastness of a desert monastery and lairs of wild creatures,
and take a break at a wonderful Red Sea resort. Join us for a discovery
of Sinai by Land Cruiser.

Desert

desert

the Caves of the Western Desert
Five Days / Four Nights - Start Daily
There’s
life in and under the sere and unforgiving deserts of Egypt! Our explorations
will take us through underground passages where whales once swam—you’ll
see their fossils. You’ll find that much still thrives below ground,
and in and around the waters of the oases above. Join us for an exploration
of desert caves, and of the green wealth that lies above.
The Gielf Kebir Expedition
Twelve Days / Eleven Nights - Start any day - Year Round
There
are other visits to the desert, to its surprising green oases, its dramatic
landscapes of ocher and brown, and villages where traditional ways hold
sway.
But
there’s only one Gielf Kebir Expedition. Over twelve days, you’ll
live the desert way of life of the desert, explore the wondrous formations
of rock and sand, discover secret temples, and fall asleep under a clear

animals in the distance. Discover the Western Desert as few outsiders
