Sphinx & Pyramids

In Cairo the excitement begins as you climb on board a camel and get an amazing view of the legendary Pyramids at Giza and see the enigmatic Sphinx. Then visit the Egyptian Museum which houses what is possibly the richest collection of artefacts in the world including Tutankhamun’s famous golden mask.

Aswan

Aswan is the gateway to Africa and crossroads of civilizations. Here the pace is slower - you can relax beside the Nile and later visit the bazaar to practice your haggling skills. Experience a traditional dinner at a Nubian Village as well.

Sailing Down the Nile

The traditional lateen-rigged boat of the Nile takes you slowly down the river. Sleeping on board under star-filled skies, you head towards Luxor - capital of the Pharaohs. The wondrous temples and relics that dot the landscape here are a potent reminder of the magnificence of Egypt’s past. You’ll ride donkeys through spectacular desert hills into the Valley of the Kings to explore some of the famous tombs. Finally, you’ll see the wonders of Karnak Temple, built to honour the Gods of ancient Egypt, and a glorious collection of obelisks, pylons and statues.
