Your journey begins in Cairo, the heart of Egypt, where you’ll explore the iconic Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the fascinating Egyptian Museum, home to the treasures of Tutankhamun. Then, fly to Luxor, often called the “world’s greatest open-air museum.” Walk through the grand Karnak and Luxor Temples, stand before the towering Colossi of Memnon, and enter the legendary Valley of the Kings, where Egypt’s greatest pharaohs were laid to rest.

Sailing along the Nile River on a luxurious cruise, you’ll stop at Edfu to visit the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus, then continue to Kom Ombo, home to the unique twin temple of Sobek and Haroeris. Arriving in Aswan, experience the awe-inspiring High Dam, visit the massive Unfinished Obelisk, and enjoy a scenic felucca sailboat ride along the Nile. For those seeking even more adventure, an optional excursion to Abu Simbel offers a chance to witness the colossal temples of Ramses II.

After days filled with exploration, culture, and stunning landscapes, return to Cairo for a final night before your departure. Whether marveling at ancient monuments, cruising the Nile, or experiencing local traditions, this journey promises a deep connection to Egypt’s past and present.
