About this trip
Eight days covering Egypt's headline ancient sites, built around a five-day Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan with an Egyptologist guide throughout.
You start at the Pyramids of Giza, then move south to the temples and tombs along the Nile, including Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and the far south at Abu Simbel.
A guided, group-based way to see the country's major sites in one go, with flights included.
What you'll do

- Explore the Valley of the Kings
- Walk through the Karnak Temples

Worth it if you want brilliant guides and fast-paced Egyptian highlights. Think twice if group size matters—advertised max 15, but expect 50+.
- Guides like Ahmed, Ashraf, and Abdul are genuinely exceptional: knowledgeable, patient, deeply versed in history and logistics.
- Group size ballooned to 51 despite advertised 15-person maximum, making everything slower and sight-seeing harder from back of crowds.
- Late-night flight logistics caused one traveller to sleep at airport instead of using included Cairo hotel, missing refund clarification.
- Fast pace covers all major sites but limits leisure time on Nile boat; Abu Simbel add-on requires 6-8 hours driving for one hour at site.
