About this tour
Uncover the treasures of Ancient Egypt and cruise the legendary Nile on our classic tour that blends epic history with vibrant modern life. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramids of Giza, unravel the secrets of the Valley of the Kings, and feel the pulse of Cairo's chaotic charm. Along the way, relax aboard a Nile cruise, drifting past palm-lined banks, timeless temples, and rural villages where life hasn't changed for centuries. Finally, wind up by the Red Sea, with the opportunity to unwind on a private beach or have a go at snorkelling. Walk Through History - Gaze up at the iconic Pyramids and the mysterious Sphinx, and explore tombs and temples that have stood for millennia. Cruise the Nile in Style - Watch life unfold along the riverbanks as you sail from Aswan to Luxor, with golden sunsets and ancient landmarks as your backdrop. Experience Daily Egyptian Life - Sip strong coffee in Cairo's buzzing cafés, haggle in lively markets, and exchange smiles with children waving from the Nile's edge. Dive into the Red Sea - Unwind with three days on Egypt's coast, where you can swim in crystal waters, snorkel vibrant coral reefs or simply soak up the sun on the golden sands.
