  • Welcome to Siwa Oasis, a shimmering mirage at the edge of the Sahara & perhaps the most unexpected corner of Egypt ✨

The only way to reach this tiny settlement is by driving nearly 10hrs from Cairo, but the lack of airport or easy connections does come with its benefits… Siwa is rustic, uncrowded, and blissfully untouched. A world all its own.

  • Carved in the cliffs of Luxor’s West Bank lies the Valley of the Kings, the ancient necropolis where Egypt’s mighty pharaohs were entombed for eternity. From 1550–1070 BCE, more than 60 royal tombs were carved into the rock, their walls covered in vivid hieroglyphs and celestial maps to guide each ruler safely into the afterlife.

Of all the incredible ancient sites in Luxor, the Valley of the Kings struck me the deepest. The colours are just so vivid and the art still feels so alive… a time-capsule that’s perfectly preserved 3000yrs of history. The wonder of it all literally brought me to tears 🥺

TIPS FOR VISITING

🎟️ there are usually ~12 tombs open at any given time & the standard ticket will get you into any 3 of the basic lot (while a few of the most special ones require an extra ticket)

Which tombs to visit👇
🔹 Tomb of Ramses IV (KV2) — one of the best preserved, with a soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling painted deep blue and covered in golden stars
🔹 Tomb of Merneptah (KV8) — long, descending corridors lined with detailed reliefs that still show traces of their original colour
🔹 Tomb of Ramses III (KV11) — features striking battle scenes and the Book of Gates, illustrating the pharaoh’s journey through the night
🔹 Tomb of Ramses V/VI (KV9) — ($4 extra ticket) — the ceilings are covered in intricate astronomical scenes, including the Book of the Heavens.
🔹 Tomb of Seti I (KV17) — ($40 extra ticket) — the most exquisite of them all, with incredible depth, vivid paintwork, and intricate carvings that make it feel almost alive

  • After 3 trips to Cairo, here’s what I’d recommend if you only had 1 full day to see the highlights:

1️⃣ 6.30am: light brekky on your hotel rooftop
- book a hotel in Giza with a rooftop terrace and enjoy a light breakfast overlooking the pyramids before heading out!

2️⃣ 7am: start at the Giza Plateau (pyramids + sphinx)
- arrive at opening to enjoy the complex to yourself before tour buses arrive ~9am
- new shuttle bus system inside the complex as of late 2025—> take the bus to the King Khafre stop (this is the pyramid with partial casing on the top) and then walk around the backside of the Great Pyramid
- in the interest of time, I’d recommend skipping the inside of the pyramid (it takes at least 30min and there’s not much to see)
- catch the shuttle to the Sphinx

3️⃣ 10.30am: brunch at 9 Pyramids Lounge
- reservation required to access this area— worth it for the view!
- from the Visitor’s Centre, take the shuttle out to the lounge >30min before your reservation to allow time for photos
- our absolute favourite view of the pyramids is a short walk to the left of the restaurant

4️⃣ 1pm: Saqqara Necropolis
- about 1hr from Giza (hire a driver)
- Pyramid of Teti: descend steep steps into the tomb to see incredible deep relief hieroglyphs & stars on the ceiling
- Tomb of Mereruk: large interior with some preserved colour & great representations of daily life
- Djoser Step Pyramid + tomb: another cool pyramid to enter!

*OR if you want a fancy lunch and more time at the museum, skip Saqqara and swap 9 Pyramids Lounge for Khufu’s (also inside Giza Plateau)

5️⃣ 4pm: Grand Egyptian Museum
- 1hr drive back to Giza
- spend 2-3hrs exploring the museum (galleries close an hour earlier, so start there and then explore the hall)
- open until 10pm on Sat or Wed, otherwise until 7pm

6️⃣ dinner at Zooba
- one of our favourite restaurants in Cairo, with a location right inside the GEM complex

  • For hundreds of years, people have been cruising the Nile as a way to experience the incredible temples and tombs of Upper Egypt (and for thousands of years before that, as a means of transporting the raw materials used to BUILD these temples).

And here’s what we’ve learned after multiple Nile Cruises: it’s a classic for a reason. 

This is the absolute best way to experience ancient Egypt, and it’s a joy for us to come back year after year (after year) to spend more time on this storied river, soaking in the magic of so many millennia.

If you like the idea of a Nile Cruise but have noooo idea what’s involved, here’s some quick info:
🔹most cruises run between Luxor and Aswan over 3-5 days
🔹cruises include full board (3 meals per day) and guided visits to all of the sites along the route— you’ll dock outside ancient temples and step off the boat to explore!
🔹expect to pay anything from $500-$10k per room, depending on how budget vs fancy the boat is
🔹the standard itinerary includes: East Bank of Luxor (Karnak + Luxor Temples), West Bank (Temple of Hatshepsut, Valley of the Kings), Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae Temple (and it’s easy to tack on Abu Simbel)

Would you go on a Nile Cruise?? 👇🏻

  • WE LOVE YOU, JORDAN!!! 🤩🇯🇴

If you’ve been following along in my stories (@brookebeyond_ ), you’ll know that we just wrapped up our inaugural Jordan adventure group trip and that it was CRAZY AMAZING!!!

We hiked along the Jordan Trail, we scrambled high above Wadi Rum, we learned to cook classic Jordanian dishes with a group of local ladies, we canyoneered to hidden waterfalls, we explored back trails of Petra that almost no one knows about, we floated in the Dead Sea… and we got to watch 12 new people fall in love with Jordan ❤️

It’s such an unbelievable privilege to share our favourite places with fellow travellers, to be given a platform and an opportunity to showcase the culture, hospitality, wild landscapes, and incredible adventures that make Jordan so unique. 

And it’s a role we take very seriously! We spent a month in Jordan last year, meticulously researching & vetting experiences for a group trip that would be truly one-of-a-kind. With the support of our amazing local partners  @experiencejordanadventures and the BEST guide in Jordan @mahmoud_bdoul , we were able to bring this vision to life: a 10-day itinerary full of adventure, connection, flavour, and experiences that you simply won’t find on ANY other tour. 

📣 If this sounds like your kinda trip, we’ll be returning to Jordan next year from 2-11 May with another group of intrepid explorers!! 

Spots sold out crazy fast last time, so make sure to join my BEYOND GROUP TRAVEL broadcast channel to be the first to hear when the trip goes live later this month! Or DM to be added to the waitlist 🎉✨

  • Back in Jordan for the next couple weeks to run our first group trip in the Middle East & we couldn’t be happier to be returning to one of our all-time favourite places!!! 🤩😭

We spent a month falling in love with this country last year, from the remote Jordan Trail to hidden corners of Petra that most tourists miss to heart-pounding scrambles in Wadi Rum, and we distilled it all down into the perfect 10-day adventure itinerary for those who want something a little MORE than the same old, mass-produced tour experience.

We’re also incredibly proud to be partnering with local adventure pioneers @experiencejordanadventures to deliver a uniquely epic experience for our travellers, while maximising the money that stays LOCAL and ensuring we are able to support communities in the most ethical & sustainable ways. 

Our partners are paving the way for responsible adventure tourism here in Jordan, providing language education & guide training to Bedouin communities, ensuring continued skill development & employment— and it’s a mission we are very passionate about supporting on this and all our future group trips.

Stay tuned for trip updates in my stories as we explore magical Jordan this week! And definitely consider joining us next spring for round two 👀🤩

Carved in the cliffs of Luxor’s West Bank lies the Valley of the Kings, the ancient necropolis where Egypt’s mighty pharaohs were entombed for eternity. From 1550–1070 BCE, more than 60 royal tombs were carved into the rock, their walls covered in vivid hieroglyphs and celestial maps to guide each ruler safely into the afterlife.

Of all the incredible ancient sites in Luxor, the Valley of the Kings struck me the deepest. The colours are just so vivid and the art still feels so alive… a time-capsule that’s perfectly preserved 3000yrs of history. The wonder of it all literally brought me to tears 🥺

TIPS FOR VISITING

🎟️ there are usually ~12 tombs open at any given time & the standard ticket will get you into any 3 of the basic lot (while a few of the most special ones require an extra ticket)

Which tombs to visit👇
🔹 Tomb of Ramses IV (KV2) — one of the best preserved, with a soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling painted deep blue and covered in golden stars
🔹 Tomb of Merneptah (KV8) — long, descending corridors lined with detailed reliefs that still show traces of their original colour
🔹 Tomb of Ramses III (KV11) — features striking battle scenes and the Book of Gates, illustrating the pharaoh’s journey through the night
🔹 Tomb of Ramses V/VI (KV9) — ($4 extra ticket) — the ceilings are covered in intricate astronomical scenes, including the Book of the Heavens.
🔹 Tomb of Seti I (KV17) — ($40 extra ticket) — the most exquisite of them all, with incredible depth, vivid paintwork, and intricate carvings that make it feel almost alive

3/5
After 3 trips to Cairo, here’s what I’d recommend if you only had 1 full day to see the highlights:

1️⃣ 6.30am: light brekky on your hotel rooftop
- book a hotel in Giza with a rooftop terrace and enjoy a light breakfast overlooking the pyramids before heading out!

2️⃣ 7am: start at the Giza Plateau (pyramids + sphinx)
- arrive at opening to enjoy the complex to yourself before tour buses arrive ~9am
- new shuttle bus system inside the complex as of late 2025—> take the bus to the King Khafre stop (this is the pyramid with partial casing on the top) and then walk around the backside of the Great Pyramid
- in the interest of time, I’d recommend skipping the inside of the pyramid (it takes at least 30min and there’s not much to see)
- catch the shuttle to the Sphinx

3️⃣ 10.30am: brunch at 9 Pyramids Lounge
- reservation required to access this area— worth it for the view!
- from the Visitor’s Centre, take the shuttle out to the lounge >30min before your reservation to allow time for photos
- our absolute favourite view of the pyramids is a short walk to the left of the restaurant

4️⃣ 1pm: Saqqara Necropolis
- about 1hr from Giza (hire a driver)
- Pyramid of Teti: descend steep steps into the tomb to see incredible deep relief hieroglyphs & stars on the ceiling
- Tomb of Mereruk: large interior with some preserved colour & great representations of daily life
- Djoser Step Pyramid + tomb: another cool pyramid to enter!

*OR if you want a fancy lunch and more time at the museum, skip Saqqara and swap 9 Pyramids Lounge for Khufu’s (also inside Giza Plateau)

5️⃣ 4pm: Grand Egyptian Museum
- 1hr drive back to Giza
- spend 2-3hrs exploring the museum (galleries close an hour earlier, so start there and then explore the hall)
- open until 10pm on Sat or Wed, otherwise until 7pm

6️⃣ dinner at Zooba
- one of our favourite restaurants in Cairo, with a location right inside the GEM complex

After 3 trips to Cairo, here’s what I’d recommend if you only had 1 full day to see the highlights:

1️⃣ 6.30am: light brekky on your hotel rooftop
- book a hotel in Giza with a rooftop terrace and enjoy a light breakfast overlooking the pyramids before heading out!

2️⃣ 7am: start at the Giza Plateau (pyramids + sphinx)
- arrive at opening to enjoy the complex to yourself before tour buses arrive ~9am
- new shuttle bus system inside the complex as of late 2025—> take the bus to the King Khafre stop (this is the pyramid with partial casing on the top) and then walk around the backside of the Great Pyramid
- in the interest of time, I’d recommend skipping the inside of the pyramid (it takes at least 30min and there’s not much to see)
- catch the shuttle to the Sphinx

3️⃣ 10.30am: brunch at 9 Pyramids Lounge
- reservation required to access this area— worth it for the view!
- from the Visitor’s Centre, take the shuttle out to the lounge >30min before your reservation to allow time for photos
- our absolute favourite view of the pyramids is a short walk to the left of the restaurant

4️⃣ 1pm: Saqqara Necropolis
- about 1hr from Giza (hire a driver)
- Pyramid of Teti: descend steep steps into the tomb to see incredible deep relief hieroglyphs & stars on the ceiling
- Tomb of Mereruk: large interior with some preserved colour & great representations of daily life
- Djoser Step Pyramid + tomb: another cool pyramid to enter!

*OR if you want a fancy lunch and more time at the museum, skip Saqqara and swap 9 Pyramids Lounge for Khufu’s (also inside Giza Plateau)

5️⃣ 4pm: Grand Egyptian Museum
- 1hr drive back to Giza
- spend 2-3hrs exploring the museum (galleries close an hour earlier, so start there and then explore the hall)
- open until 10pm on Sat or Wed, otherwise until 7pm

6️⃣ dinner at Zooba
- one of our favourite restaurants in Cairo, with a location right inside the GEM complex

For hundreds of years, people have been cruising the Nile as a way to experience the incredible temples and tombs of Upper Egypt (and for thousands of years before that, as a means of transporting the raw materials used to BUILD these temples).

And here’s what we’ve learned after multiple Nile Cruises: it’s a classic for a reason. 

This is the absolute best way to experience ancient Egypt, and it’s a joy for us to come back year after year (after year) to spend more time on this storied river, soaking in the magic of so many millennia.

If you like the idea of a Nile Cruise but have noooo idea what’s involved, here’s some quick info:
🔹most cruises run between Luxor and Aswan over 3-5 days
🔹cruises include full board (3 meals per day) and guided visits to all of the sites along the route— you’ll dock outside ancient temples and step off the boat to explore!
🔹expect to pay anything from $500-$10k per room, depending on how budget vs fancy the boat is
🔹the standard itinerary includes: East Bank of Luxor (Karnak + Luxor Temples), West Bank (Temple of Hatshepsut, Valley of the Kings), Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae Temple (and it’s easy to tack on Abu Simbel)

Would you go on a Nile Cruise?? 👇🏻

For hundreds of years, people have been cruising the Nile as a way to experience the incredible temples and tombs of Upper Egypt (and for thousands of years before that, as a means of transporting the raw materials used to BUILD these temples). And here’s what we’ve learned after multiple Nile Cruises: it’s a classic for a reason. This is the absolute best way to experience ancient Egypt, and it’s a joy for us to come back year after year (after year) to spend more time on this storied river, soaking in the magic of so many millennia. If you like the idea of a Nile Cruise but have noooo idea what’s involved, here’s some quick info: 🔹most cruises run between Luxor and Aswan over 3-5 days 🔹cruises include full board (3 meals per day) and guided visits to all of the sites along the route— you’ll dock outside ancient temples and step off the boat to explore! 🔹expect to pay anything from $500-$10k per room, depending on how budget vs fancy the boat is 🔹the standard itinerary includes: East Bank of Luxor (Karnak + Luxor Temples), West Bank (Temple of Hatshepsut, Valley of the Kings), Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae Temple (and it’s easy to tack on Abu Simbel) Would you go on a Nile Cruise?? 👇🏻 — #egpyt #nilecruise #luxor
