Timeless elegance on the Nile and the Red Sea
Egypt is the only destination in the world where you can stand before a 4,500-year-old pyramid in the morning, snorkel in one of the planet’s most species-rich diving areas at midday and enjoy the sunset over the desert from a private villa with an infinity pool in the evening, all just 4 to 4.5 hours‘ flight from Switzerland. An Egypt luxury holiday lets you experience exactly this diversity.
What makes Egypt so special for discerning travellers from Switzerland is its unique combination of beach, culture and adventure at a world-class level. The Red Sea offers some of the best diving and snorkelling areas in the world, with intact coral reefs, dolphins, turtles and water that is crystal clear 365 days a year.
As your personal Egypt travel adviser in Basel, Switzerland, we put together your trip to Egypt individually. We know which Red Sea resort has the best house reef, which Nile cruise ship offers true luxury (and which does not) and which guide in Luxor tells the most captivating stories.
Unforgettable experiences between the Valley of the Kings and coral reefs
Secure your individual high-end travel planning from the comfort of your home. Our private travel designers coordinate every detail of your Egypt luxury holiday for you.
Enjoy a private Nile cruise aboard a traditional dahabiya, far from the large tourist ships.
Visit the Pyramids or Luxor Temple with your personal Egyptologist.
Discover world-famous dive sites right from your luxury resort.
Enjoy seclusion in exclusive hideaways such as the Siwa Oasis or on the El Gouna golf course.
Watch the sunset over the Nile from the terrace of the legendary Old Cataract Hotel or explore Cairo’s vibrant bazaars. With Pink Travel, your Egypt luxury holiday becomes a journey through time without sacrificing modern luxury. The international airports of Cairo (CAI), Hurghada (HRG) and Sharm El Sheikh (SSH) are your gateways to this fascinating country.
Experience the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx before the crowds arrive, accompanied by a private English-speaking Egyptologist who brings 4,500-year-old secrets to life. On request, we arrange a camel ride with views of all three pyramids and an exclusive visit inside the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the largest archaeological museum in the world, is just minutes away and houses the complete treasure of Tutankhamun.
Glide through the green Nile Valley on an elegant boutique ship, past date palms, fields and the temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae. Our partner ships (Oberoi Philae, Sanctuary Sun Boat IV, Amwaj Living Stone) have a maximum of 40 cabins with panoramic windows, gourmet cuisine and a pool on the sun deck. The 3- to 7-night cruise combines relaxation with the most impressive temple complexes of antiquity. The definitive Egypt experience.
The Red Sea ranks among the world's top five diving destinations. Discover coral reefs in surreal colours, schools of barracuda, Napoleon wrasse, dolphins and, with a little luck, whale sharks. Particularly spectacular: the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm (Sharm El Sheikh), the Brother Islands and Elphinstone Reef (Marsa Alam). Our 5-star resorts on the Red Sea have their own PADI dive centres, and we organise exclusive diving safaris on private boats.
Float over the Valley of the Kings near Luxor in a hot-air balloon at sunrise, above the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Ramesseum and the countless burial chambers of the pharaohs. The view of the Nile, the green fields and the desert beyond is one of the most breathtaking moments Egypt has to offer. We book the safest and most exclusive operators with small groups.
Direct flights from Zurich to Cairo (CAI) with EgyptAir and SWISS (approx. 4 h). To Hurghada (HRG) with Edelweiss and Air Cairo (approx. 4.5 h). To Sharm El Sheikh (SSH) seasonally. Connections via Istanbul (Turkish Airlines) are also a comfortable option. As an IATA agency, we book your Business Class flights, including lounge access. For a combination of beach and culture, we recommend flying into Hurghada and out of Cairo (or vice versa); we seamlessly arrange the domestic flight.
Swiss citizens require a visa, which is available on arrival at the airport (approx. USD 25, payable in cash). Alternatively, an e-visa can be applied for online in advance. A passport valid for at least six months is required. We will inform you of all formalities in good time and assist you if needed.
Domestic flights connect Cairo with Hurghada (1 h), Luxor (1 h), Aswan (1.5 h) and Sharm El Sheikh (1 h). We arrange private transfers in air-conditioned vehicles with a chauffeur for all routes. Between Hurghada and Luxor, a private transfer by car is also possible (approx. 3.5 hours through the desert, an experience in itself). All our Egypt trips include airport transfers.
Egypt's tourist regions (Red Sea, Cairo, Nile Valley, Sharm El Sheikh) are considered safe and are visited by millions of international tourists. The Red Sea resorts have their own security teams. We monitor the situation continuously and give you honest advice.
Egyptian pound (EGP). Euros and US dollars are accepted in hotels. Egypt probably offers the best value for money for luxury travel worldwide: a 5-star resort on the Red Sea often costs a fraction of comparable properties in the Caribbean, the Maldives or southern Europe. All-inclusive packages offer excellent cost control.
