About this trip
Six days moving from Cairo to Luxor, tracing Egypt's ancient history from the pyramids to the temples of the Nile Valley. This is a guided, easy-paced trip built around the big sights rather than off-the-beaten-track exploring.
You'll start among the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx before spending time in the Grand Egyptian Museum, then head down to Luxor for the tombs and temples on both banks of the Nile.
Good for a first trip to Egypt, with private rooms throughout and a fully guided structure so you're not working out logistics yourself.
