Packages to Egypt from Cyprus

The Sphinx guarding the Pyramids.

Visiting Egypt from Cyprus.

A visit to Egypt, the great land of Pharaohs, is an experience that anyone that has done the trip will cherish for the rest of their lifetime and Egypt's proximity to Cyprus makes this an easy trip from Larnaca, Limassol or Paphos.  The rich history of Egypt has left a vast array of monuments that you certainly do not need to be an archeologist to appreciate.  From the World Heritage Pyramid Plateau to Ramses the II statues at Abu Simbel, Egypt will amaze you and make you stand in awe in front of the monumental  remains of a culture that started to leave its mark in the early Fourth Millennium B.C.  History is not, of course, the only reason to tour Egypt.  A Nile river cruise offers the traveler glimpses of the natural beauty and the stark contrasts that make Egypt what it is.  Nile cruising is also one of the most comfortable ways to tour Upper Egypt.  The standard of some of the riverboats that gently glide the Nile waters are up to the standards of international hotel chains like Movenpick and Sonesta. Trips to Egypt from Cyprus can also be made by cruise boat.  To see these visit our site's cruises section.

Our philosophy on tours of Egypt.

As with all the packages we offer, we want to give customers the best possible value for their money.  We have a good understanding of the cultural sights of interest and are very happy to discuss any request for personalized trips.  Egypt is a huge country with a multitude of sights ranging from the obvious ancient Egyptian tombs and temples, to early Christian churches, holy Islamic monuments and wonderful natural history sights.  A lifetime would probably not be enough to take in all that Egypt has to offer.  We are happy to offer our customers either our packaged tours or tailor made holidays to fit their individual preferences in order to enjoy the sights they want to see at their own pace.  Call us at our Nicosia, Cyprus office (+357 22680500) or email us at info@varianostravel.com for more information on our custom made trips.  You can see our pre made packages below.
