About this trip
Ten days moving through Egypt's big three regions: Cairo, a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, and a day trip out to Alexandria. It's a proper sweep of ancient and more recent history, from the pyramids to Ptolemaic temples to Greco-Roman ruins by the coast.
Guided throughout, so the temples and tombs come with context rather than just ticking boxes. The Nile cruise section means you sleep aboard as you move between sites, which breaks up the coach-and-hotel pattern of the Cairo and Alexandria days.
What you'll do
- See the Giza Pyramids and visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
- Explore Karnak and Luxor temples, plus the Colossi of Memnon
- Visit the Valley of the Kings and Deir El Bahary
- Cruise the Nile to Edfu and Kom Ombo temples
- Stop at Aswan's High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk and Philae Temple
- Day trip to Alexandria for Qaitbay Citadel, the Bibliotheca, Pompey's Pillar and the Kom El Shoquafa catacombs
- Fully guided throughout, with a group setup suited to families as well as solo travellers
- Fast-paced — a lot of major sites across 10 days, with a change of base for the Nile cruise section
- Includes a day trip out to Alexandria and back, so expect a longer travel day on that leg
