About this trip
This nine-day trip takes you from Cairo to Aswan with a private Egyptologist guiding you the whole way, covering the big sites without rushing past the smaller ones.
You start in Cairo with the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara and Memphis, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the churches and bazaars of Old Cairo, before flying to Luxor for a four-night stretch on a five-star river cruise down to Aswan.
It is a comfortable, guided way to see ancient Egypt properly, with private arrangements throughout rather than a fixed group schedule, and dates that flex around when you want to travel.
