Cairo
Get ready for a sensory overload of the best possible variety. Markets & mayhem are on every corner, with stops for hummus and tea proving very essential.
Giza
Of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World only one remains, and today you will be seeing it up close and personal. Get the tissues ready, seeing the iconic Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza in all their 4,600 year old glory will make for a day that stirs you to the very core.

DAY 3:
Nile Cruise - Aswan
Aswan
Today is all about jaw drops from start to end. First up, you'll learn about the famous Obelisk, a symbol of Egypt, and interestingly a monument that is carved in the ground. These pointed needles are a great example of the skills of the ancient Egyptian artisans and our Local Guide will get you in the know on A to Z and everything in-between. Take a stroll along the Nile before grabbing that camera, as we hop aboard a wooden felucca sailboat, the first of our two boating experiences for the day, and watch the local life as you float on by. Tonight is a taste of the high life with a luxury cruise on the River Nile, no less. This is the first of 3-nights we'll spend on the water, soaking up Egypt from its iconic waterway.

Next up is your chance to explore Abu Simbel's Temple of Ramses II, one of the world's most iconic sites dating back to 1264 BC. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this is a must-do for history buffs and those looking to get in the know on this ancient site. Our Local Guide will uncover its history before we gently drift upstream, steering ourselves away from Aswan with our maps open on ancient Edfu.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Abu Simbel Temple
USD 273.00
Edfu
After green fields, the Arabian desert and palm trees aplenty have teased our eyes along the Nile, we'll pull in for a peak at the perfectly symmetrical town of Kom Ombo. This village's famous temple is dedicated to the God of Crocodile, and the God of Falcon and with it's stunning setting right by the Nile is the perfect spot to head on-land for some exploring. Back on the boat you can practice your 'walk like an Egyptian' pose, then take a dip in the pool (yes, as in the boat has a pool) before we dock for the night in Edfu.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
View Kom Ombo, the Temple of Two Gods
USD 12.00
DAY 5:
Nile Cruise - Edfu to Luxor

USD 21.00
Luxor
As soon as we step foot on Luxor terrain, we'll start spinning our way into the historical mysteries of this magnificent town including the Avenue of the Sphinxes, an epic lineup of human headed sphinxes spanning 3km, and let's not forget a photographers dream. Tomorrow the Luxor discoveries continue, so there's no need to cram it all in on day one.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit the Avenue of the Sphinxes
DAY 6:
Luxor to Hurghada
Luxor
Only on a trip to Egypt would ancient royal tombs make a casual appearance on our daily agenda. Venturing to the Valley of the Kings known as 'City of the Dead,' our local guide will take us to some of the 63 royal tombs found here. Later, choose to visit the Temple of Karnak where we can find the world’s largest religious structure, the Temple of Amun.

DAY 7:
Hurghada to Cairo
Hurghada
Lovers of exploring by sea could take a cruise of the Red Sea for all new views, or those who prefer life a little more on land could snorkel, sun bake or just relax in paradise this morning. Later, we'll attempt an Arabic goodbye to the beautiful beaches of Hurghada as we make our way back to where our Egyptian escapade kicked off just a week ago.

Sheriff, the tour guide, was incredible. He did such a great job giving us information about the temples and tombs, while not dragging it on. We spent an adequate amount of time at each site. The accommodations were similar to what you would think. Egypt was such a beautiful country, and highly recommend anyone even thinking of going, just going! The days were long, but it was worth every penny...my only recommendation is bring travel toilet paper!!!

I think a lot of the additional amenities could have been included. I thought we didn't know about a lot of the extras like photo tickets at the sites, paying to use the bathrooms, etc. We made it work, but we would have prepared better had we known ahead of time. The price of the trip is well worth the experience though!

Seriously the best time! Worth every penny! Went as a solo female traveller and had no worries at all. Sheriff made us feel completely safe and he is full of knowledge. Trip was well organized. Bring cash for some additional add ons not mentioned they’re all totally worth it ! Food was great accommodations were mind blowing. The nile cruise boat was stunning.
