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.
