Safari to the Sands!!
EgyptAir Virtual Group X Kenya Virtual Presents:
Safari to the Sands - From Kenya’s Wildlife to Egypt’s Wonders
From the vibrant wildlife plains and rolling highlands of Kenya to the timeless desert landscape of Egypt, this special event brings together two of Africa’s most iconic worlds.
Begin your journey in Nairobi, surrounded by savannahs, mountains, and one of East Africa’s major aviation gateways. Then fly north toward Cairo, where the Nile Valley, ancient history, and golden sands create one of the most legendary destinations on Earth.
This is a celebration of Africa’s beauty — its nature, its landscapes, and the connection between regions shaped by both wilderness and civilization.
Join us as we take this symbolic flight from Safari to Sands.
