Egypt is once again capturing the attention of the global travel industry. Forbes has highlighted Egypt among three exceptional travel adventures to experience in 2027, as renowned active travel company Backroads prepares to launch its first-ever journey to Egypt.
The new luxury adventure will combine history, exploration and active travel, giving guests the opportunity to experience Egypt through walking, cycling and kayaking, while enjoying premium hotels and a multi-day Nile journey connecting Cairo, Luxor and Aswan.
Travelers will explore some of Egypt’s most iconic sites, from the Pyramids of Giza to the royal tombs and temples of Luxor’s West Bank, before continuing south to the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples.
The experience also brings a more immersive dimension to the traditional Egypt itinerary, with kayaking on the Nile, visits to riverside villages and temples, and expert interpretation from an Egyptian Egyptologist who will bring thousands of years of history to life.
Egypt is no longer being positioned only as a destination to see, but as a destination to experience.
