This classic 12-day itinerary introduces travelers to the iconic destinations of Egypt while offering accommodations at a luxurious 5-star hotel in Cairo and a leisurely Nile cruise through Upper Egypt. The journey commences in Cairo, where guests embark on a guided exploration of the Pyramids, Sphinx, and the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Following this, a short domestic flight transports you to Luxor, where you’ll embark on a 7-night cruise along the Nile Valley aboard a top-tier 5-star cruise ship, journeying from Luxor to Aswan and back. Along this scenic route, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Edfu and Komombo temples, all while taking in the picturesque landscapes and observing the tranquil rhythms of rural Egyptian life from the boat’s sun deck.
Upon reaching Aswan, you’ll explore the enchanting island temple of Philae and savor a serene felucca sailboat excursion on the Nile before commencing your return journey toward Luxor, with a stopover to explore the lesser-known temple of Esna. The tour concludes back in Cairo with a visit to the renowned Egyptian Museum, home to the remarkable treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb, followed by a delightful stroll through the charming lanes of the Khan-el-Khalili bazaar.
