A 10-day luxury Egypt journey combining Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Abu Simbel and a four-night Nile cruise.
Why This Trip Stands Out
A luxury Egypt journey pairing the country’s most important ancient sites with upscale hotels, expert guiding and four nights cruising the Nile.
- Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
- Valley of the Kings with access to Tutankhamun’s tomb.
- Four-night Nile cruise with guided shore excursions.
- Temple visits in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae and Abu Simbel.
- Premium Cairo hotels and included on-tour flights.
