Why is Egypt a popular luxury travel destination?

Don't forget that all of our itineraries are totally customized and so this is just an idea of what we can build for you.
The Valley of the Kings is particularly awe-inspiring, a passage through time that brings you face-to-face with the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Wandering among the elaborately decorated tombs of Pharaohs, such as Tutankhamun, offers a surreal experience that feels like stepping into a living museum.
However, Egypt can pose challenges for LGBTQ+ travelers. The country adheres to conservative laws and cultural norms, with LGBTQ+ identities often stigmatized. For those who feel comfortable navigating these complexities, a visit to Egypt can still be deeply rewarding, provided precautions are taken to prioritize safety and discretion.
Our expertise in inclusive travel ensures that we can guide you toward experiences that celebrate Egypt’s unmatched historical treasures while helping you make informed decisions. Whether exploring Cairo’s bustling bazaars, sailing the Nile, or marveling at Luxor’s ancient temples, Egypt offers a journey into a world of wonder.

Travel Information for Egypt
Egypt LGBTQ+ Rights
Egypt presents a highly challenging environment for LGBTQ+ individuals due to its conservative societal norms and strict legal framework. While same-sex sexual activity is not explicitly criminalized under Egyptian law, authorities frequently use vague morality or public decency laws to target LGBTQ+ individuals, leading to arrests, detentions, and harassment. Reports of mistreatment during detention further highlight the severe risks faced by the LGBTQ+ community in Egypt.
Public displays of affection or expressions of LGBTQ+ identity are highly discouraged, as they may attract negative attention or legal consequences. Societal attitudes remain deeply conservative, with LGBTQ+ individuals often facing stigma, discrimination, and rejection within their families and communities.
Despite these challenges, there is a small but resilient LGBTQ+ community in Egypt, as well as underground advocacy efforts. However, visibility is limited due to the risks of persecution. Online platforms have sometimes served as spaces for connection, though these too are heavily monitored.
For LGBTQ+ travelers, Egypt’s rich cultural heritage and iconic landmarks may be enticing, but it is essential to exercise caution, adhere to local customs, and prioritize safety. While Egypt remains a culturally significant destination, the lack of legal protections and societal acceptance makes it a difficult and unsafe environment for openly LGBTQ+ individuals.
Getting to Egypt
Experience the history of Egypt by flying into Cairo. There are also a number of beach destinations in the region such as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada.
