Cairo, Egypt – Egypt has never really had a shortage of iconic places to visit. But lately, not every traveler is interested in following the same route. Cleopatra Travel seems to have noticed that change and has now come out with a new guide for 2026 that looks beyond the usual highlights.

The guide talks about places like Abydos, Tuna El-Gebel, and some quieter parts of Luxor’s West Bank. These aren’t exactly hidden, but they don’t always make it into standard travel plans either. And for a lot of people now, that’s actually the appeal—less crowd, more space, and a chance to experience things a bit differently.

As a long-standing travel company of Egypt, Cleopatra Travel has spent over 30 years working closely with travelers on the ground. According to the team, this guide is more of a response to what people have been asking for recently rather than just another itinerary idea.

“Over the years, you start to see patterns,” says Hesham El Gammal, CEO of Cleopatra Travel. “People still want to visit the famous sites, no doubt about that. But at the same time, many are curious about places that aren’t always talked about. They want something that feels a bit more real.”

The guide itself doesn’t try to overdo things. It includes simple suggestions—like when to visit certain spots, what kind of experience to expect, and a bit of local context that helps travelers understand what they’re seeing.

In a way, it feels less like a checklist and more like a nudge to explore at your own pace.

For anyone planning Egypt in 2026 and wanting something slightly off the usual path, this guide might just be useful.
