Your adventure begins in Cairo, where you'll explore the world-famous Great Pyramids of Giza, the iconic Great Sphinx, and the remarkable Grand Egyptian Museum, home to one of the world's greatest collections of ancient Egyptian treasures. Continue your journey through history with a visit to Saqqara, where the Step Pyramid of King Djoser marks the beginning of pyramid construction, before discovering the ancient capital of Memphis.
From Cairo, you'll travel to Luxor, often called the world's greatest open-air museum. Here you'll walk among the towering columns of Karnak Temple, admire the beauty of Luxor Temple, and cross the Nile to the West Bank to explore the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings.

One of the highlights of this Egypt tour is your relaxing 5-Star Nile Cruise, allowing you to experience the legendary river that gave life to one of the world's oldest civilizations. As your cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan, you'll stop at the remarkably preserved Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, and the unique Kom Ombo Temple, famous for its twin design honoring both Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder.
