Backroads Brings Adventure Travel to Egypt in 2027
There's an entirely fresh way to get your kicks by the pyramids, and it's coming straight from Backroads, the bigwig of active travel. They're rolling out a Multi-Adventure Tour in the heart of Egypt for 2027. It's got all the bells and whistles: hiking, biking, and kayaking, packaged with a side of luxury at posh hotels and a snazzy cruise down the Nile.
Unfolding Egypt in All Its Majestic Glory
If you've ever had a wistful dream of rambling from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan, this is your golden ticket. Backroads' tour lets folks experience the epicity of places like the Pyramids of Giza and the towering statues at Abu Simbel. Add a pinch of biking near royal tombs and across the desert sandscapes of Luxor’s West Bank into the mix.
Bringing Egypt's past to life, a local Egyptologist lights the path through the sands of time.
Kayaking along the lush banks of the Nile? Yeah, that's part of the itinerary too. You're mingling with local cultures and soaking up history as if the pharaohs themselves were handing you over their secrets.
Luxury and Adventure: A Potent Pair
Pairing high-octane adventures with sumptuous stays isn't just an appealing contradiction—it's where Backroads excels. They're rolling out the Sanctuary Serai, a newly minted all-suite riverboat making its maiden cruise in 2026. Imagine soaking it up on the river with luxury oozing from every pore, after a day hitting Egypt's trails, temples, and tombs.
The accommodations on this expedition include the swanky Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan and the allure of Al Moudira Hotel in Luxor. Both spots are renowned hideaways steeped in prestige, promising comfort to match the comeliness of the views outside.
Immersive Experiences Beyond the Ordinary
- Roam among ancient sites: Walk miles in the footsteps of history at the pyramids and among tombs.
- Saddle up: Cycle along the Nile’s verdant banks and dry deserts.
- On-water escapades: Tour the Nile on various vessels from feluccas to motorboats.
- Rituals of culture: Get up close with Nubian famiglia, try your hand at cooking local delicacies, and dance through a Galabeya celebration.

The tour runs from October 2027 through March 2028, punctuating Egypt's landscapes with opportunities for exploration during some of its most pleasant months.
Why This Matters for Investors
Now, not every day you hear about adventures laced with luxury, but that's Backroads' recipe for drawing in the seekers of both thrill and comfort.
