Pyramids and pharaohs in Egypt's ancient lands
From the mighty Pyramids to the Valley of the Kings, Egypt isn’t short on star attractions. That said, a visit to this ancient country is as much about the small moments, whether it’s eating dates in the shade of a palm tree, breakfasting on "ful medames" with the locals, or listening to the call of prayer as you watch the sun set over Cairo. Experience Egypt’s bucket list sights alongside its wonderful everyday, on this unforgettable group trip. Gaze into the enigmatic face of the Great Sphinx, explore the treasures of Tutankhamun’s golden tomb, and spend three nights under starry skies on a live-aboard boat cruise down the Nile. This is Egypt.
Highlights include
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Cairo
Hello Egypt! Fly into exotic Cairo and make your way to the hotel through city streets bustling with donkey carts, market stall holders, and motorcycles. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the hotel pool before your first taste of delicious Egyptian cuisine this evening.
Day 2: Pyramids of Giza
Discover some amazing artefacts at the Egyptian Museum. Then prepare for a goose bumps moment, as we head to the Pyramids. Marvel at the enigmatic Sphinx and feel the weight of history as you walk around the majestic monoliths. Tonight, take the sleeper train to Aswan.
Day 3: Felucca Sailing Trip
Wake up in Aswan and then board a traditional wooden sailboat, known as a felucca. Watch local life unfolding on the banks of the river before our second boating experience of the day - a luxury 3-day cruise on the Nile.
Day 4: Luxury Nile Cruise
Wake up on the Nile, as the sunrise paints the landscape gold. Spend the day drifting along the river, soaking up incredible views of palm trees and the Arabian Desert, swimming in the on-board pool, and opting to visit the ancient temples of Abu Simbel, and Kom Ombo. Dock for the night in Edfu.
Day 5: Luxor
Start another day on the Nile with a visit to the characterful town of Luxor. Walk in the footsteps of Pharaohs along the Avenue of the Sphinxes, a spectacular 3km stretch connecting the temples of Karnak and Luxor, or boat to the West Bank for a taste of rural life.
Day 6: Valley of the Kings
See the towering Colossi of Memnon before discovering the famed Valley of the Kings. Explore some of the 63 royal tombs, including the gilded resting place of Tutankhamun. Opt to see the world's largest religious structure at the Temple of Karnak, before continuing to the coastal city of Hurghada.
Day 7: Hurghada Beaches
Kick back with a day on the Red Sea. With umbrella-lined sands, turquoise waters, and stunning coral reefs, it's the perfect place to relax after a packed few days. Strap on a snorkel, take an optional Red Sea cruise, or bake on the beach with a glass of something cold in hand. Tonight, head back to Cairo.
