River cruise and touring specialist APT has added Egypt, Jordan and Israel to its portfolio for the first time.

It will operate four new Travelmarvel trips from this September.

These are three land and cruise tours ranging from eight to 19 days, plus a three-day Alexandria extension.

APT MD Paul Melinis said: “Following the successful reception of Croatia when we introduced it as a new offering for this season, we’re very excited to build on the momentum and unveil our next new destinations, Egypt, Jordan and Israel.

“We polled our customers at the end of last year, and they made it clear that they were interested in exploring more exotic destinations with APT and Travelmarvel, so we have delivered.”
