IT has been 40 years since James Bond first hit our screens and now the 20th Bond film Die another Day has opened in the UK. However, the movie spotlight once shone on Egypt when it played a role as the backdrop to the 10th James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, starring Roger Moore.

With Discover Egypt and a little imagination, the awe-inspiring temples and tombs of Egypt will give any wannabe 007 the chance to relive their hero's adventures.

Discover Egypt is offering the opportunity to see the places where the 1976 film was set. Scenes of The Spy Who Loved Me were filmed throughout Egypt in Cairo, Abu Simbel and the Temple of Karnak in Luxor.

When in Cairo, Bond would surely have stayed at the five star deluxe Mena House Oberoi. A stone's throw from the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, this hotel is ideal for those with plenty of style.

It is an oasis of calm set in 40 acres of jasmine-scented gardens offering an 18-hole golf course and large pool. Four nights B&B costs from £595pp. Price includes return flights from Heathrow, taxes and transfers. If you choose to visit Luxor, where Bond fought Jaws outside the Temple of Karnak, stay at the five star Old Winter Palace in Luxor, a grand hotel located opposite the Nile.

Filled with beautiful antiques and luxurious furnishings it effortlessly combines the elegance of the past with the comforts of today. Seven nights B&B costs from £695pp. Price include return flights from Gatwick, taxes and transfers.

A four star Nile cruise is the perfect way to see all the temples such as Luxor Temple, the Temple of Karnak, the Temple of Kom Ombo, the Temple of Edfu and the Temple of Philae plus the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel. Seven nights costs from £429 pp departing on December 2, 9 and 16.

The price includes return flights, taxes, transfers, full board accommodation, 10 excursions and a qualified Egyptologist.

Prices are valid throughout November and December. For reservations contact Discover Egypt on 020 7407 2111 or visit www.discoveregypt.co.uk
