Overview

Discover Egypt’s ancient landmarks on this 10-day tour. Visit the towering pyramids and mysterious Sphinx in Giza, cruise the Nile past temples in Aswan, Edfu…

This 10-day tour blends a substantial Cairo introduction, a multi-night Nile cruise, and Red Sea time in Hurghada, aiming to cover both ancient sites and coastal relaxation without favoring one over the other.

Cairo opens the trip with the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Saqqara's Step Pyramid, and a Nile dinner cruise with a belly dancing and Tannoura show. A flight to Aswan begins the cruise portion, covering the High Dam and Philae Temple before sailing north through Kom Ombo and Edfu to Luxor for the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and Karnak.

The trip then shifts to Hurghada for Red Sea snorkeling before returning to Cairo for the Citadel and Khan El-Khalili.

An Egyptologist guide throughout, private air-conditioned transfers, domestic flights, four nights in a five-star Cairo hotel, three nights aboard the Nile cruise, two nights in a five-star Hurghada hotel, entrance fees, the Nile dinner cruise, and the snorkeling excursion are included; international flights, the entry visa, personal expenses, and gratuities are not.

The dinner cruise's Tannoura and belly dancing show is a distinctive addition to this route, and the overall balance of temples, cruise, and beach time suits travelers who want a well-rounded rather than history-only itinerary.
