Off to Egypt

Off to Egypt this afternoon to sort everything out for the winter. Am having a private inspection of the brand new deluxe boat MS Farah in Cairo tomorrow before it sails to Luxor for its maiden cruise which I am excited about.

While I am in Luxor I will be shooting some video of each of the Atp Travel boats to post onto the website as well as some of the tourist attractions.

To be honest though its never nice to leave the family - although my wife says its better when Im not around - the thought of some hot sunny weather is very appealing

easy jet flights to Luxor

Easyjets announcement of its new route to Luxor commencing from the 3rd November is great news for travellers looking for a Nile Cruise or other type of holiday to Luxor. This will provide serious competition to the Charter airlines and tour operators and will enable tourist to save £100's of pounds on holidays.

Here at Atp Travel we look forward to helping clients make those savings. As an example, a Nile cruise on the popular RA II would have previously been in the region of £800.00. But now it would be possible to enjoy the same holiday for around £600.00 travelling this October.

Hello and welcome

Welcome to the first Atp Travel blog.

No this is not the wife trying to entertain me after a hard day at the office but a belly dancer on what is called a Nile Dinner Cruise, more of which another time.

This is just an introduction to my company and what we do which is - Selling Nile Cruise and Tour Holidays to Egypt.

Having worked in the Egyptian Tourism industry for over 10 years I first set up Atp Travel in January 2007 as a wholesale company selling to UK Travel Companies. However whilst this has been quite successful I have seen that becoming a fully fledged and bonded UK Tour Operator gives me and my Egyptian partners more scope for selling our products.

To start with we are offering 6 different Nile Cruise boats and a selection of what we call Classical Tours which take in the major tourist destinations and include all the major attractions. Unlike many companies our tours include sightseeing and entrance fees on all tours. We will however tailor make any itinerary that is requested.

What makes us different ? In general I believe we will pretty much always be cheaper than our competition for like for like Tours or Nile Cruises. Also being smaller means less overheads and working directly with our Egypt partners gives us the ability to obtain better rates.

So with the winter season only 2 months away which is the best time to take a Cruise or Tour now is the perfect time to start planning that holiday to Egypt.
