Forward bookings for the tour for 2023 have also already exceeded 2019 levels, with the escorted touring specialist hopeful of "bumper sales" for the coming year.
Kathy Vigolo, Newmarket’s head of long-haul, said the operator put pent-up demand for the tour down to Egypt’s emergence from a challenging period for the country, one that pre-dates the pandemic, and its perennial popularity.
"Egypt is home to many bucket-list sights, such as the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx and Luxor Temple, and a cruise down the famous River Nile is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Vigolo.
