About this trip
Seven days across Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, tracing Egypt's ancient civilisation from the Giza Plateau to the temples strung along the Nile.
You start with the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx before moving on to the Grand Egyptian Museum's collection of artefacts, then join a deluxe Nile cruiser for three nights to reach the monuments further south.
It's a fully guided, easy-paced group trip with 5-star accommodation, built for families or anyone wanting the major sites covered without working it out themselves.
What you'll do
- Stand before the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx at Giza
- Explore the Grand Egyptian Museum's collection of ancient artefacts
- Sail the Nile for three nights aboard a deluxe cruiser
- Visit temples and monuments along the riverbanks in Luxor and Aswan
- Easy pace and fully guided throughout, suited to families and groups
- Three of the seven nights are spent aboard the Nile cruiser
- 5-star accommodation on this trip
Worth it if you want genuinely excellent guides and 5-star hotels with proper organisation. Think twice if hidden costs and early starts bother you.
- Guides like Anas, Abdurahman, and Hossam are genuinely knowledgeable, funny, and make history engaging and accessible.
- Entrance fees and tips aren't included in the quoted price; expect to pay around £150-200 extra upon arrival in Egypt.
- Early starts are frequent and demanding; one group exceeded the stated 15-person maximum, reaching over 23 people.
- The sleeping train is comfortable but consider upgrading to a proper 5-star hotel; cruise WiFi is weak and the ship is merely comfortable, not genuinely 5-star.
