From the iconic Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx to cruising the legendary Nile river and exploring colossal temples and pharaonic tombs, the itinerary offers a glimpse into Egypt’s ancient treasures like no other.

A Warm Welcome in Cairo

The tour begins in vibrant Cairo where guests are greeted at the airport and transported privately to their luxury 5-star hotel. Checking in allows time to relax after the journey before the real adventure begins. After settling into their comfortable accommodation, guests can look forward to exploring Egypt’s bustling modern capital and the incredible sights that await discovery.

The Giza Plateau: A Grand Reveal

No trip to Egypt is complete without seeing the iconic Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza. After breakfast, guests are collected from their hotel and transported to Giza’s famous plateau. A private guide leads a tour that offers insight into how and why these ancient wonders were built over 4,500 years ago. Snapshots capture the sheer scale of this immense necropolis constructed for the Pharaohs of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

Marvel at Millennia of History

Still absorbing the spectacle of Giza, guests then travel to Cairo’s renowned Egyptian Museum. Housing over 100,000 priceless artifacts, it is the best place to witness the richness of Egyptian civilization. Mummies, statues, hieroglyphic inscriptions and more reveal Egypt’s rulers and beliefs from pre-dynastic times through to the Coptic period. After lunch at a local restaurant, the afternoon offers an exploration of Khan El Khalili bazaar to immerse in modern Egyptian street life.

Discover Aswan’s Splendors

After two memorable days in Cairo, guests transfer to the airport for a short domestic flight south to beautiful Aswan. Here they meet their guide and travel to the High Dam, an engineering feat providing year-round water supply and hydroelectric power. Nearby Philae Temple, moved stone by stone to save it from rising floodwaters, expresses devotion to Isis. After a Nile cruise and visit to Kom Ombo’s crocodile temple, guests check-in for a two-night stay aboard a luxury cruise boat.

Temples Along the Nile

Each morning awakens with views of pastoral riverbanks from cabins onboard the comfortable cruise vessel. In Edfu, one of Egypt’s best preserved temples—built from sandstone blocks—honors the falcon god Horus. Leisurely sailing allows wildlife spotting during lunch before disembarking at Luxor. Here guests encounter colossal columns and intricate carvings adorning Karnak Temple, marking Thebes’ ancient religious heart. Nearby, monumental statues and carousels of Luxor Temple express majestic kingship along Egypt’s greatest waterway.

Journey to the Valley of the Kings

On the West Bank, the Pharaohs’ final resting places await discovery. For nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tomb architects challenged thieves and grave robbers to protect royal burials. The valley became a necropolis filled with hidden passages, ornate paintings and golden sarcophagi, some containing mummies intact after 3,000 years. After checking out of cabins, this optional tour allows an incredible look inside the past before flying home with unforgettable memories from Egypt’s landmarks.
