Itinerary

Set out today for Egypt and embark on an iconic journey of ancient wonders, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and world-famous attractions.

Start your day at a leisurely pace, ensuring a restful night’s sleep before heading out mid-morning to the Giza Plateau. Your Egyptologist guide will unveil the engineering wonders of the Great Pyramid and the mysterious Sphinx, allowing ample time for photographs. Savor lunch at a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the pyramids, then return downtown for a curated visit to the Egyptian Museum. Take your time exploring highlights like Tutankhamun’s treasures, and you’ll be back at the hotel by late afternoon to unwind, enjoy the pool, or stroll along the Nile corniche at your leisure.

Overnight in Cairo

An early‑morning flight whisks you south to Aswan, where you board your modern yet intimate cruise vessel. After settling into your cabin, visit the serene Temple of Philae on its island perch and pause at the HighDam, a testament to contemporary Egyptian ingenuity. Back on board, a late‑afternoon felucca sail glides past Elephantine Island just as the granite hills turn rosy in the setting sun. Dinner is served on the river as the ship remains moored, letting you drift to sleep to the gentle sounds of the Nile.

Overnight in Nile Cruise(Aswan)

The morning is given over to leisurely cruising, watching life unfold on the riverbanks from a deck chair or your private balcony. Mid‑morning, disembark at Kom Ombo for a guided stroll through its twin sanctuaries dedicated to Sobek and Horus the Elder. Back aboard, a long, sunny stretch of the Nile brings you to Edfu, where horse‑drawn carriages convey you to the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus. Return in time for afternoon tea and sail onward as twilight paints the sky.

Overnight in Nile Cruise(sailingtoward Luxor)

Dawn finds the ship docked in Luxor. Cross to the West Bank for a morning exploring the Valley of the Kings and the elegant terraces of Hatshepsut’s Temple, paced to avoid the midday heat. After lunch and a short rest on board, head to Karnak’s Forest of giant columns and the beautifully lit Luxor Temple, returning before dinner for a quiet evening on deck under the stars.

Overnight in Nile Cruise(Luxor)

Following breakfast, bid farewell to the crew and drive the short distance to Luxor Airport. A noon flight carries you back to Cairo, leaving the afternoon free for last‑minute shopping at Khanel‑Khalili or simply unwinding at the hotel spa. Share memories over a casual farewell drink, turning in early for tomorrow’s journey home.

Overnight in Cairo

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before your transfer to Cairo International Airport for your onward flight.

REVIEW

This was the perfect introduction to Egypt. From the moment we landed in Cairo, everything was seamless — the airport pickup, hotel check-in, and even little touches like having water waiting in the car. Standing in front of the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx was surreal, and our Egyptologist guide made the history come alive without overwhelming us. The Nile cruise was my favorite part — waking up to the calm river views and ending the evenings with sunsets on deck felt like a dream. It’s rare to find a trip that balances sightseeing with relaxation so well. Highly recommend!

This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. The itinerary had a great rhythm — enough time to rest after flights, yet still packed with unforgettable experiences. The temples at Kom Ombo and Edfu were absolutely stunning, and the horse carriage ride to Edfu Temple made us feel like we had stepped back in time. The cruise ship was comfortable, with great food and staff who quickly learned our preferences. I especially loved exploring Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple at night — it was almost magical with the lighting. Everything felt well-organized and stress-free, which allowed us to simply enjoy Egypt

Traveling through Egypt was always on my bucket list, and this tour made it so effortless and memorable. I’ll never forget the quiet beauty of Philae Temple on its island, or the excitement of walking through the Valley of the Kings. Our guide had such passion and knowledge — it felt like we had VIP access everywhere we went. The Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo was a fun way to end the trip, and I even picked up some handmade lanterns to bring home. Hotels were comfortable, the cruise staff were warm and attentive, and the pacing gave us time to breathe. It was the perfect mix of culture, history, and comfort.
