About this trip
Nine days through Egypt's ancient sites, from the pyramids at Giza to the temples of Luxor, with a Nile cruise linking the two.
You'll take in both the old and new Grand Egyptian Museums, home between them to over 100,000 artifacts, alongside the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and the Luxor complex.
It's a straightforward, comfort-focused route through Egypt's headline historical sites, suited to families and groups travelling together.
What you'll do
- Explore the Old and New Grand Egyptian Museums
- Visit the Pyramids of Giza
- Tour the Valley of the Kings
- Cruise the Nile River
- See the Karnak and Luxor temple complexes
- Aimed at families and groups, with an itinerary built around comfort rather than a fast pace
- Available over Christmas and New Year
Worth it if you want expert Egyptology guides and well-organised logistics. Think twice if you dislike being asked for tips upfront or having a slow Cairo airport pickup.
- Guides like Abdo, Medhat, Ahmed, and Abdul are genuinely knowledgeable Egyptologists who go above and beyond, not just tour operators.
- The itinerary balances heavy sightseeing days (pyramid tours, Abu Simbel) with genuine rest time on the Nile cruise; not relentless.
- Company requests tips in advance (£60 per person reported), which feels awkward since guides aren't included in that fee anyway.
- Cairo airport pickup can be chaotic; one traveller abandoned it entirely. Later Cairo staff vary wildly in professionalism and friendliness.
