 Tour Pace: Well paced with three-nights in Killarney, and overnight stays in Galway and Blarney. The driving days are of a reasonable length with scenic stops offering photo opportunities. Hotels: The four hotels on this tour range from the contemporary Burlington in Dublin and Galway’s stylish Clayton Hotel, to the cosmopolitan Killarney Towers and the Blarney Golf Resort, set amongst 170 acres of the Shournagh Valley. Please Note: In some parts of Ireland, the remote nature and limited seasonality means hotels are often more basic, modest and simpler in style than Insight hotels elsewhere in Europe, especially in the larger or capital cities. These properties are typically family-run establishments and have completely individual character - which is part of their attraction. The key attribute of these properties is their easy access to the wonders of the beautiful countryside and more remote towns and villages.

 This tour is BIG - from Mount Sinai in the East to the Western Desert battleground that turned the fortunes of war, plus titanic temples such as Abu Simbel and the prodigious Pyramids. Tour Pace: Being on Mt. Sinai as the sun appears in the morning sky is impossible to forget. So even those who choose to rise early agree the tour pace is mostly easy going. The majority of days are either spent in Cairo, or quietly cruising the peaceful waters of Lake Nasser and the Nile. Hotels: It should be noted the selection of hotels in the pilgrimage town of St Catherines is extremely limited. The Morgenland is the best available and well located, but the rooms and facilities are quite basic. This means it contrasts markedly with the cruise and other more luxurious hotels on tour - the deluxe Cairo Marriott, Helnan Palestine in Alexandria and the lavish Fairmont Heliopolis.
