Syaha Tour · Journeys through Egypt
From ancient wonders and timeless Nile journeys to authentic Nubian hospitality, discover Egypt through experiences designed to stay with you.
Discover Egypt
Egypt’s story goes back many thousands of years, to a time when pharaohs ruled and many gods were worshipped. Its best-known symbols are the Pyramids of Giza, yet the temples along the Nile, from the great complex of Karnak to Abu Simbel in the far south, were built on a scale that is just as hard to imagine.
But Egypt is more than its monuments. It is the rhythm of the river, the colour of a Nubian village, a shared meal, a conversation with a local guide, and a story that helped shape our own.

Meet the island
Anakob · Aswan’s first floating boutique hotel
Anakob is the newest, and the first, boutique floating hotel in Aswan. It reflects Nubian art and culture with a trendy, modern and comfortable setup, and it was designed and positioned with the Nile view in mind: every bedroom looks out on the river, and the shared spaces have panoramic views in every direction.
Elephantine Island, Aswan
Mango Guesthouse sits among the gardens of Elephantine Island, in the middle of the Nile at Aswan. It is a place for local hospitality and traditional Nubian food, with a rooftop terrace that looks out over the Nile, and for experiencing the slower rhythm of island life.
Local, traditional Nubian food, served in a garden on Elephantine Island.
