About this trip
Nine days cruising the Nile in 5-star comfort, taking in Egypt's ancient temples and historic sites along the way. This is a fully guided group trip, so the sightseeing and logistics are handled for you.
Expect a steady, comfortable pace built around the river itself, with days given over to exploring temples and monuments and evenings back on board.
What you'll do
- Cruise the Nile aboard a 5-star ship
- Visit ancient Egyptian temples
- Guided sightseeing at historic sites along the river
- Travel as part of a small group with a guide throughout
- Fully guided throughout, so little to organise yourself
- Group format suits those happy travelling with others rather than independently
- Departures available over Christmas and New Year
Worth it if you want Egypt's highlights expertly guided and well-organised. Think twice if cruise ship service matters as much as the itinerary.
- Guides consistently exceptional—Mina, Amgad, Christine, Ash, Remon all named for deep knowledge and genuine care for guests.
- Itinerary packs major sites well: pyramids, temples, Nile cruise, hot air balloon sunrise, Red Sea break, no rushed feeling.
- Cruise ship serving staff reported as rude and absent by one traveller; accommodation adequate at best, not luxury.
- Small groups and solo travellers report feeling safe and included; some guests received unexpected flight upgrades mid-tour.
