About this trip
Twelve days covering Egypt's major ancient sites along the Nile, then three days doing nothing much at all on the Red Sea. It's a fully organised package — transfers, one internal flight, hotels and a river cruise all sorted for you.
You're with an English-speaking guide throughout, moving between 4 and 5 star hotels and a cruise boat, with 30 meals included so you're not constantly working out where to eat.
The last stretch is a straightforward beach reset at an all-inclusive resort on the Red Sea, after the temples and tombs.
What you'll do
- Cruise the Nile between ancient sites
- Visit the temples and tombs along the river
- Guided sightseeing throughout with an English-speaking guide
- Three days at an all-inclusive 5 star Red Sea resort
- One internal flight included so you're not backtracking overland
- Structured and guided rather than independent — good if you want the history explained, not if you want to wander off on your own
- Pace eases off in the final three days at the beach resort
- Suits families and groups happy with a fixed itinerary over Christmas and New Year

Your free day in Cairo
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Cairo — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you want knowledgeable, engaging guides and smooth logistics. Think twice if you need reliable pre-trip communication and dispute resolution.
- Multiple guides named exceptionally—Mahmoud, Elia, Islam, Mohamed—created memorable, emotionally resonant experiences for guests.
- Wingbuddy failed to communicate about Qatar airspace closure affecting flights; insurance claim was denied, leaving traveller stranded.
- Trip heavily skews ancient Egypt; limited exposure to contemporary Egyptian culture and daily life if that matters to you.
- Meals, accommodation, safety, and day-to-day organisation ran smoothly throughout the 12-day itinerary.
