Egypt & the Nile (Winter, Classic)

Start & end in Cairo 8 days Up to 40

About this trip

Eight days through Egypt, taking in Cairo's noise and the quiet pull of the Nile. You'll stand in front of the Great Pyramids, then swap the city for three nights on a traditional cruise boat, drifting down the river at a much slower pace.

There's also the option of a Red Sea cruise if you want to add some coast and diving to the ancient sites.

This is a group trip with a fully guided itinerary, built around the classic highlights rather than off-the-beaten-track exploring.

What you'll do

  • See the Great Pyramids of Giza
  • Explore Cairo's markets and streets
  • Spend 3 nights on a traditional Nile river cruise
  • Optional Red Sea cruise add-on
  • Visit ancient temple sites along the Nile
Good to know
  • Runs over Christmas and New Year, so expect a festive group atmosphere
  • Sightseeing-heavy pace with a mix of city time and slower river days
  • Fully guided throughout, suited to those who prefer things organised for them
