Lose yourself also in the enchanting Citadel of Saladin, offering panoramic views over historical Cairo. Then dive into the sensory overload of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a labyrinth of vibrant souks with the Fatimid era's atmosphere, where centuries of history unfold as you shop for unique treasures along El-Moez Street.

As well, deepen your understanding of pyramid construction at the Saqqara Complex, home to the revolutionary Step Pyramid of Djoser, and the first typical-shaped pyramids with smooth surfaces built in history at Dahshur. Here, you'll literally 'live the full history as if you are a real pharaoh,' witnessing the evolution of these architectural masterpieces.

Sail the Nile—Discover Luxor and Aswan Temples 

To truly capture the charm of an Egypt tour, a Nile cruise is a magical journey through time! Sail between Luxor and Aswan (or vice versa) aboard a luxurious floating hotel. 

As you drift along the world’s longest river, you’ll explore Egypt’s most iconic ancient treasures—like the largest religious complex ever built in humanity, Karnak Temple; the Valley of the Kings, the home of the greatest pharaonic tombs; Philae Temple, the jewel of ancient Egypt's temples; Edfu Temple, the most well-preserved temple in ancient Egypt; and more—while enjoying elegant cabins, delicious meals, and nightly entertainment. It’s the perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and breathtaking scenery.

Luxor & Aswan (Without a Cruise): A Timeless Journey Through Ancient Egypt

In Luxor, Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt, you will walk through the world’s greatest open-air museum—home to the majestic Karnak and Luxor Temples, the hauntingly beautiful Valley of the Kings, and the elegant Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. You will be surrounded by towering columns, vivid hieroglyphs, and colossal statues that whisper the stories of pharaohs and gods.

Further south, Aswan offers a more tranquil charm, set along the Nile’s gentle curves. You’ll visit the enchanting Philae Temple, sail on a traditional felucca, and marvel at the engineering feat of the High Dam.

 Desert Safari & Red Sea Escape

It offers natural healing and profound tranquility. Alternatively, venture into the White Desert National Park, a surreal landscape of chalk-white rock formations carved by wind, perfect for an unforgettable camping experience under a blanket of stars amidst unique geological wonders.

Alternatively, for a thrilling blend of desert adventure and dazzling marine life, the Red Sea awaits! Here, the golden sands seamlessly meet crystal-clear waters. That offers not just exciting desert safari thrills (think quad biking or camel rides) but also world-class snorkeling, diving amidst vibrant coral reefs, and exhilarating water sports like sailing.
