About this trip
Nine days that combine Egypt's classic ancient sites with a slower stretch sailing the Nile aboard a traditional felucca. You get the temples and history, but also the quieter rhythm of drifting along the river under sail rather than rushing between coach stops.
What you'll do
- Sail the Nile aboard a traditional felucca
- Visit ancient temples along the river
- Spend time on the Red Sea coast
- Travel as part of a small guided group
- This departure runs over Christmas and New Year
- Fully guided throughout, so logistics and entry to sites are handled for you
Worth it if you want iconic sights (pyramids, temples, Luxor) with excellent guides and a genuine felucca night. Think twice if you're solo and value consistent group bonding, or want authentic local dining over hotel buffets.
- Guide Ramez handled 30 mixed nationalities and ages with humour, expertise, and genuine care throughout.
- Felucca overnight on the Nile and hot air balloon sunrise over Valley of the Kings genuinely outstanding.
- Solo travellers split across simultaneous itineraries risk being separated from group mid-trip with no NYE support offered.
- Upgrade pressure is real—flight vs bus split not transparent upfront; felucca was standard but sales push hard for cruise alternative.
