About this trip
Nine days covering Egypt's big-ticket sights, from Cairo's pyramids to a cruise down the Nile and the temples of Abu Simbel.
You start in Cairo with time at Giza and the Egyptian Museum, then head south to sail the Nile, stopping at ancient temple sites along the way. Abu Simbel and an optional sunrise hot air balloon ride round out the trip.
This is a sightseeing-heavy itinerary aimed at those who want the classic Egypt highlights covered in one go, with the cruise giving you a few days of slower travel between stops.
