About this trip
Nine days across Egypt's biggest landmarks, from Cairo's pyramids and museum to a Nile cruise linking Luxor and Aswan.
You start in Cairo and Alexandria, taking in the Giza pyramids and the Egyptian Museum, before a domestic flight south to join the Nile cruise.
The cruise section slows the pace down, with ancient sites along the river between Luxor and Aswan filling the days.
What you'll do
- Visit the pyramids of Giza
- Explore the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
- Spend time in Alexandria
- Take a domestic flight south to the Nile cruise region
- Cruise the Nile between Luxor and Aswan
- See archaeological sites from ancient Egyptian civilisation
- Includes a domestic flight partway through the trip
- Combines city sightseeing in Cairo and Alexandria with a slower-paced Nile cruise
- Guided throughout, suited to travellers who want the history explained rather than self-guided
Worth it if you want iconic Egyptian sites with knowledgeable guides and can handle early starts. Think twice if you expect true luxury hotels or reliable airport logistics.
- Guides like Kareem and Emad are Egyptologists who genuinely lose their voices explaining ancient history.
- Hotels marketed as luxury are actually one to two stars; accommodation quality doesn't match price paid.
- Airport pickup reliability is inconsistent; one group waited 30 mins with no communication, forced to hire own transport.
- Two major temples (Luxor, Kom Ombo) seen only in darkness due to cruise schedule; daylight visits require four-day cruise instead.
