Highlights
Egypt is a destination where ancient history and vibrant culture come together. From the Pyramids of Giza to the temples along the Nile, every moment is filled with stories that have shaped the world.
This journey begins in Cairo, where the scale and history of the Pyramids instantly set the tone for what’s to come.
From there, you’ll travel south to the Nile, where a multi-day cruise allows you to experience Egypt from a completely different perspective. Floating between Luxor and Aswan, you’ll visit some of the country’s most significant temples and ancient sites, all while enjoying the slower rhythm of life on the river.
Along the way, there’s a beautiful mix of guided exploration and moments to simply take it all in, whether that’s watching the landscape drift by from the deck or wandering through ancient ruins that have stood for thousands of years.
It’s a journey that blends history, culture, and experience in a way that feels both meaningful and easy to enjoy.
Welcome to Egypt. On arrival into Cairo, you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel.
Take the rest of the day to settle in, relax after your journey, or step out for your first glimpse of this vibrant and energetic city.
Today is one of those unforgettable moments.
You’ll visit the iconic Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, standing face-to-face with one of the world’s most remarkable ancient wonders. There’s something surreal about seeing them in real life after years of photos.
You’ll also explore key sites around Cairo, with your guide bringing Egypt’s incredible history to life in a way that makes it all feel real and tangible.
Today you’ll travel south to Aswan, marking the beginning of your Nile experience.
Aswan offers a more relaxed pace and a different feel to Cairo, with beautiful views along the Nile and a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere.
You’ll prepare to board your Nile cruise and settle into your new surroundings.

Optional excursions, such as Abu Simbel, may be available.
As you cruise along the Nile, you’ll stop at fascinating ancient sites including Kom Ombo and Edfu.
These temples are incredibly well preserved and offer a deeper insight into Egypt’s history and mythology. Travelling between destinations by river adds a unique rhythm to the journey.
Arrive into Luxor, often referred to as the world’s greatest open-air museum.
You’ll explore the East Bank, including the impressive Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, both known for their scale and intricate detail.
Today you’ll visit some of Egypt’s most significant historical sites.
