Travel across two worlds on this nine-day adventure that pairs the monumental icons of pharaonic Egypt with the warm, living culture of Nubia. Stand beneath the Pyramids of Giza, wander the treasure-filled halls of both the Egyptian Museum and the new Grand Egyptian Museum, then swap the capital for an unhurried Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. Temple after temple unfolds along the river — Karnak, Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and island-set Philae — before the colossal rock sanctuaries of Abu Simbel and a visit to a Nubian village bring you face to face with the colour, music and easy hospitality of Egypt’s deep south.
Your Egyptian adventure begins the moment you land at Cairo International Airport, where our representative is waiting to walk you through arrival formalities. A private, air-conditioned car then transfers you to your hotel to settle in, leaving the evening free to rest or take a first stroll through the city.
Overnight: Cairo
After breakfast you head straight for the Giza Plateau, coming face to face with the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the enigmatic Great Sphinx and the granite Valley Temple. Following a relaxed local lunch, the afternoon belongs to the Egyptian Museum, whose galleries brim with millennia of statues, jewellery and royal treasures.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Overnight: Cairo
A short flight south brings you to Luxor, the greatest open-air museum on earth. Meeting your guide, you explore the vast Karnak complex with its forest of towering columns, then the graceful Luxor Temple, once joined to Karnak by a ceremonial avenue of sphinxes. After lunch you board your Nile cruiser and settle in for the voyage upriver.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Overnight: Nile cruise
With breakfast served on deck, the morning is given to the West Bank. Descend into the painted royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings, admire the terraced Temple of Hatshepsut set against the cliffs, and pause beneath the weathered Colossi of Memnon. Back aboard for lunch, the boat casts off and drifts south toward Edfu.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Overnight: Nile cruise
A horse-drawn carriage carries you to the remarkably intact Temple of Horus at Edfu. Sailing on, you call at the riverside Temple of Kom Ombo, unusually shared between the crocodile god Sobek and Horus the Elder. The afternoon's gentle cruising delivers you to Aswan, where the Nile is at its most beautiful.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Overnight: Nile cruise
A short motorboat ride brings you to the island Temple of Philae, a romantic sanctuary of the goddess Isis rescued from the rising waters of the Nile. You continue to the excellent Nubian Museum, which tells the story of this ancient southern culture, before the day's highlight — a visit to a vividly painted Nubian village, where spice, henna and genuine warmth offer a glimpse of a world all its own.
Meals: Breakfast
Overnight: Nile cruise
An early start takes you to Abu Simbel, where the colossal rock-cut temples of Ramses II and Nefertari rise straight from the mountainside above Lake Nasser — masterpieces relocated block by block to save them from the floodwaters. Afterwards you transfer to Aswan airport for your flight back to Cairo.
Meals: Breakfast
Overnight: Cairo
This morning is devoted to the Grand Egyptian Museum beside the Giza Plateau — the vast, light-filled home of one of the world's greatest collections of pharaonic treasures, including the complete tomb of Tutankhamun. The rest of the afternoon is yours to relax.
