About this trip
Eleven days moving through Egypt's ancient sites, from Cairo down to Luxor and Aswan and back, with a four-night Nile cruise built into the middle of the trip.
You get the big names — Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Karnak, the Valley of the Kings — alongside quieter temple visits along the Nile, with a guide leading the sightseeing throughout.
The pace balances guided days on land with slower time on the boat, so it's not constant movement even though there's a lot to see.
