Squeezing all of Egypt's historical landmarks into a single trip was no easy task. We've spent hours examining the maps, connecting the dots, and coming up with an itinerary that allows you to spend time exploring these extraordinary ancient places with a knowledgeable Egyptologist that brings everything to life. This journey carefully combines luxury with history and authenticity, as evidenced by the 4-star hotel standard and first-rate air conditioned vehicles used throughout.

You'll be staying in Cairo for the first 3 nights, where duelling minarets are echoed by the amplified thunder of the muezzins' call to prayer. The Cairene itinerary comprises the Great Pyramids of Giza, with an option to add the Egyptian Museum of Pharaonic Art, the Citadel of Saladin, the Coptic District, and the Market of Khan El-Khalili. Expect plenty of time to explore the megacity on your own as you take in the continual thrill and hype that its 22 million or so residents produce.

The second leg of your voyage will take you along the River Nile, where the scenery is just as breathtaking as the temples and tombs on the itinerary. We have the ideal cruiser to take you up the most iconic river in the world, sailing for three nights from Aswan to Luxor. Domestic return flights from and to Cairo will be taken care of, so you can sit back and relish the sight of men sipping their morning tea along the Nile, smoking shisha pipes on plastic chairs, family-run farms, and every other surprise the Nile is capable of throwing at us. This is a journey unlike any other; one that is capable of transferring you back to a period so far different from our own yet full of intriguing tales that will stay in your memories for a very long time to come! 

Your trip begins in Cairo, where as soon as you land at the airport, our representative will meet, greet and drive you to your 4-star hotel in via air-conditioned vehicle. The rest of the day will be yours to spend at your leisure, before your included dinner and the official tour excursions kicking off the next day. Explore everything from the Great Pyramids of Giza to the Temple of Philae, the Temple of Kom Ombo, the Western Bank in Luxor, the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings, and plenty more on this incredible journey through history. The journey will end back in Cairo for your departure flights.
