About this trip
Six days that take you from Cairo down to Aswan by train, then onto a Nile cruise back up through Luxor, tracing the temples and tombs that made ancient Egypt famous.
You'll have an Egyptologist guide with you throughout, unpacking the history behind each site rather than just walking you past it. The days are packed with temples and monuments, balanced by time on board as the boat moves between stops.
This suits people who want to see the big-name sites properly in a short space of time, with the practicalities of transport and guiding sorted for you.
