Backroads Launches Multi-Adventure Tours in Egypt for 2027

Backroads, the premier company in active travel, is set to unveil its newest adventure destination: Egypt! Scheduled to launch in 2027, this exciting Multi-Adventure Tour presents travelers with the unique opportunity to explore the rich history and stunning landscapes of Egypt through hiking, biking, and kayaking experiences.

Travelers will journey from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan. The itinerary is crafted to provide a comprehensive exploration of one of the world’s most fascinating destinations. Participants will visit iconic locations, including the magnificent Pyramids of Giza, luxurious desert landscapes near royal tombs, and the grandeur of Ramses II’s temples in Abu Simbel. The tour will also feature thrilling kayaking excursions along the palm-lined Nile, enabling scenic views of ancient temples and quaint riverside villages. Guests will walk the sacred Avenue of Sphinxes in Luxor, with knowledgeable Egyptologists on hand to enrich the experience.

A standout feature of this tour is its balance of adventure and luxury. Travelers will enjoy stays in exquisite accommodations, including the historic Mandarin Oriental's Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan and the Al Moudira Hotel in Luxor, both known for their exceptional service and breathtaking locations. Moreover, guests will experience a multi-day cruise on the Sanctuary Serai, the only all-suite riverboat on the Nile, which debuted in 2026. This riverboat experience promises a blend of relaxation and adventure, allowing for sufficient time to assimilate into the remarkable Egyptian culture while savoring the breathtaking scenery along the legendary river.

Tom Hale, the founder and CEO of Backroads, expressed enthusiasm about this new venture: “There’s no place quite like Egypt. This tour is particularly special because it was conceived by one of our Trip Leaders, a Cairo native. This insider perspective allows us to offer a powerful way to explore Egypt on foot, bike, and boat while gaining a comprehensive understanding of its rich history, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture.”
