So, how does a senior, or even a group of seniors, begin planning an Egypt tour for Seniors? It is best to use a map of Egypt and a list of interests in order to make the best selection. For instance, if the group is interested in the sites connected to Pharaonic Egypt, it is quite likely that a Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan will be part of the plan. This is because so much of that period occurred within easy reach of the Nile, if not directly along its banks. Such a tour would have to also include a few days in Cairo in order to make a trip to the amazing museum, the Giza pyramids, and of course the Sphinx.
Remember that most Egypt group tours come with the support of well-trained guides who can add a tremendous amount of value to the experience. It is the guides who will be able to direct travelers to unique shops, restaurants, and other local points of interest, and who will also keep the pace of daily activity to a comfortable level.
