Pyramids & Nile Cruise — Classic Egypt
Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & a luxury Nile cruise through 5,000 years of history
Tour Overview
This is the definitive Egypt experience — the journey that travellers have dreamed of for centuries. Begin in Cairo at the foot of the Great Pyramids, cruise the Nile in luxury from Luxor to Aswan, descend into the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, and stand before the colossal temples of Abu Simbel. Every day reveals another layer of 5,000 years of civilisation. Your private Egyptologist guide brings the ancient world to life with stories that transform stones into living history. From the Grand Egyptian Museum's Tutankhamun treasures to a felucca sailing at sunset, this is Egypt at its most magnificent.
