About this trip
Two weeks across Egypt, taking in the pyramids, temples, and the pull of the Nile at a pace that mixes big sights with slower moments. This is a fully guided group trip, so a local expert is with you throughout, filling in the history behind the monuments.
Expect a proper range of experience — the ancient wonders of Giza and the Valley of the Kings, but also a felucca drifting down the Nile, the Red Sea coastline at Hurghada, and a home-cooked meal with a local family away from the tourist routes.
What you'll do
- Stand before the pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza
- Explore the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings
- Sail the Nile on a traditional felucca
- Relax on the white sands of Hurghada on the Red Sea
- Share a home-cooked meal with a local family
- Fully guided throughout, with a group leader and local experts on hand
- Mixes active sightseeing with slower, relaxed stretches like the felucca sail
Worth it if you want comprehensive ancient Egypt coverage with early starts and good guides. Think twice if you're sensitive to heat, expect detailed on-site commentary, or prefer comfort over intensity.
- Early morning starts beat crowds at major sites and keep you cooler throughout the day.
- Guide quality varies significantly; standout guides like Michael and Said elevate the experience substantially.
- Sleeper train is old and dirty; some sites lack detailed on-site guidance despite CEO summaries.
- Egypt's heat is intense; choose travel month carefully or expect exhaustion despite relentless pacing.
