Budget 8 Days Cairo & Nile River Cruise (GEM Museum Visit)

Eight days covering Cairo and a Nile cruise, built around Egypt's big ancient sites without the higher price tag of the fuller-service tours. You get the pyramids, the temples and the museums, moving between Cairo and Upper Egypt at an easy pace.

Days split between Cairo's monuments and old quarters, then the classic Nile run through Luxor and Aswan, taking in temples, tombs and the river itself. It's a guided, group format, so someone else handles the logistics while you focus on the sites.

Suits families and groups travelling together over Christmas or New Year, or anyone who wants the core Egypt itinerary covered without extras.
