Happy Holidays from Learning Through Travel.  We want to thank all of our friends and customers for expressing interest in the traveling to Egypt and diving the Red Sea.  Egypt is a magical country and the Red Sea is a top dive destination.  All of us at Learning Through Travel feel grateful to have so many people that share a passion for diving and traveling to Egypt.  In 2007, Learning Through Travel expanded its marketing of Red Sea diving, added more trip dates for 2008 and offered new itinerary options. We are ecstatic with the response to our efforts to brand the Red Sea and Egypt as a top diving destination for American travelers.

The popularity of Alexandria, Egypt was a pleasant surprise the past few months.  Everyone of our clients, since the option was first announced in October, has included a stop in Alexandria on their main itinerary.  The allure of diving Cleopatra's Palace along with the affordability of staying and traveling to Alexandria make for an irresistible itinerary add-on.  Please click below to see a updated write up for Alexandria.

Alexandria Extension for Divers: 4 Days/3 Nights

Our holiday Red Sea newsletter reflects the new image for Learning Through Travel's promotion of Red Sea diving.  The new web site www.corridorofmarvels.com will be a resource for our clients and partners for information on traveling to Egypt for diving the Red Sea.  On our new web site, you can view popular Egypt-Red travel programs, read testimonies and view pictures from recent client trips.  The Corridor of Marvels web site will grow over time with the needs of customers.  We will continue to send Red Sea newsletters on bi-monthly basis with updated information, stories and pictures from our clients who travel to Egypt to dive the Red Sea. All of our customers are welcome to send us contributions for our Red Sea Newsletters.  The staff at Learning Through Travel thanks you for your support the past year and we looking forward to supporting you in your endeavors in 2008 and beyond!
