About this trip
Ten days moving through Egypt's ancient sites in comfort, from Cairo down to Aswan and back, with the pace set by five-star hotels, domestic flights and a Nile cruise rather than long overland hauls.
The core draws are here: the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Valley of the Kings, and the great riverside temples at Karnak, Luxor, Kom Ombo and Philae.
This is a guided, sightseeing-heavy trip built for those who want to see a lot of history without roughing it.
What you'll do
- Stand before the Pyramids of Giza
- Explore the Grand Egyptian Museum
- Enter royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings
- Cruise the Nile between temple stops
- Visit the riverside temples of Kom Ombo and Philae
- Take in Karnak and Luxor temples
- Premium tour with five-star hotels, domestic flights and a Nile cruise included
- Fully guided, so expect a structured itinerary rather than free days
- Suits travellers who want comfort alongside heavy sightseeing
Worth it if you get a top-tier guide and accept hidden costs plus organisational rough edges. Think twice if you need seamless logistics or dislike tipping pressure.
- Guides like Mohamed, Aamer, and Ramadan elevate the entire experience with genuine expertise and warmth.
- Local manager was disorganised, didn't attend induction, and bluntly demanded tips despite doing minimal work.
- Numerous 'extras' charged locally; combined with Egypt's 3000 pound daily ATM limit, this creates constant cash hassle.
- Overnight train to Luxor is bone-shaking but memorable; worth discomfort for the experience and cost savings.
