This group tour is designed for single, separated, widowed, divorced, and solo travelers over 50 who want to explore Egypt in the safety and comfort of a friendly group.

Our relaxed and easygoing itinerary focuses on more than just ticking off famous landmarks. While we’ll visit incredible sites and monuments, this trip is about truly immersing ourselves in Egypt’s atmosphere—soaking in the culture, observing daily life, and enjoying all the little moments that make travel unforgettable.

We’ll indulge in delicious food, sample Egypt’s surprisingly good wine (rumored to be golden because the grape-growing regions are rich in gold!), and savor some excellent local beer.

This is not just a tour; it’s a chance to make memories, form new friendships, and experience Egypt in a way that feels both magical and meaningful. A trip to treasure, with new friends to share the journey!

The tour price is based on double occupancy.  For solo travelers who wish to have private accommodations, a single supplement fee applies. However, this journey is perfect for solo adventurers open to sharing accommodations with one of our fellow travelers, thus avoiding the single supplement fee.  To date I have never had anyone ask for their cabin/room partner to be changed and nobody ever had a problem.  Things just always seem to work out for us – life is too short for minor inconveniences, and this extraordinary adventure is far too magnificent to be overshadowed by them.
