About this trip
A 10-day guided journey through Egypt's ancient sites, built around a 5-star Nile cruise. It's designed as an easy-paced introduction to the country's history rather than a rush through checklist sights.
Guides handle the logistics and explain what you're looking at, so you can take in the temples, tombs and river scenery without the legwork of planning it yourself.
With its easy pace and family option, it suits travellers who want a comfortable, well-organised first look at Egypt, including over the Christmas and New Year period if that's when you're travelling.

- Cruise the Nile aboard a 5-star ship
- Guided visits to ancient Egyptian monuments and temples

Cheapest live departure per day, in £, recorded by our tracker since 16 Jul. Never a brochure “was” price.
Worth it if you want seamless, well-guided ancient Egypt immersion with top-notch logistics. Think twice if overnight sleeper trains trouble you.
- Guides (Mina, Ash, Samar, Peter, Amgad, Hany) consistently praised as knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely invested in your experience.
- Cruise boat and hotel accommodation genuinely excellent; new minibuses with AC and seatbelts; seamless airport-to-airport logistics handled entirely by company.
- Overnight sleeper train to Luxor widely flagged as uncomfortable bone-shaker; worth upgrading return leg if budget allows.
- Early mornings required to maximise sites, though you're back on ship by lunch for afternoon relaxation.
