About this trip
This is a ten-day journey through Egypt built around the romance and mystery Agatha Christie found here, from Cairo's streets to the slower pace of the Nile. It's pitched as ultra-luxury throughout, with a stay aboard a Dahabiya sailing boat included as a free upgrade.
You'll move between the major sites — pyramids, ancient temples, Cairo's landmarks — with expert guides arranging access, rather than queuing with the crowds. Domestic flights between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan are built in, so travel days are kept short.
It's run as a small group, guided throughout, and pitched as easy-paced — geared toward comfort and atmosphere rather than physical challenge, which makes it workable for families too.
What you'll do
- Sail the Nile aboard a Dahabiya boat
- Explore Cairo's streets and landmarks
- Visit the pyramids and other ancient sites
- Complimentary tour to Abu Simbel by car
- Domestic flights linking Cairo, Luxor and Aswan
- Small group with a fully guided itinerary throughout
- Easy pace, suited to travellers wanting comfort over challenge
- Positioned as ultra-luxury, with high-end accommodation included
Worth it if you want Egypt's major sites handled flawlessly by passionate guides. Think twice if the Aswan Cateract Hotel matters—you might get the Tolip instead.
- Guides (Ahmed, Anas, Marwa, Dr Nassar) are genuinely knowledgeable, funny, and anticipate your needs before you ask.
- Abu Simbel sunrise visit with private car meant you arrived before tour buses; site nearly empty, transformative moment.
- Aswan Tolip Hotel is noticeably inferior to other accommodations; multiple guests specifically warned against it replacing Cataract Hotel.
- Egypt requires security checkpoints and haggling in bazaars; perfectly safe but requires patience if unfamiliar with both.
