Egypt
A Women’s Journey Along the Nile

October 30 – November 8, 2026

Imagine gliding down the Nile on your own elegant private dahabiya — just like-minded adventurous women, no crowds, no rush — waking to the call of prayer, sipping hibiscus tea on deck, and watching ancient temples drift by. This is not ordinary Egypt. This is Broad Escapes’ intimate journey: a celebration of millennia-old monuments, powerful queens, timeless rituals, and the sisterhood we create together.

Step into the mysteries of Egypt’s past — explore the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, wander the Valley of the Kings, and marvel at Karnak and Luxor Temples. Meet women artisans keeping traditions alive — weaving with Nubian craftswomen, sharing tea in village homes, practicing henna under the open sky and enjoying cultural exchanges that bring modern Egypt to life. Walk in the footsteps of Hatshepsut and Nefertari and enjoy the ultimate private experience as our elegant dahabiya carries only our group along the Nile, where every meal, every sunset, and every moment is yours to savour in complete comfort and privacy.

This is your chance to experience Egypt in a way few travellers ever will — to connect deeply with its history, culture, and people with an intimate group of extraordinary women. With just 14 spots available, this is a rare opportunity to claim your place on this journey that will be enriching and truly unforgettable.
