Pyramids & Riverboat Cruise

Your journey begins in Cairo, with visits to the fabulous Egyptian Museum, home of Tutankhamen's gold, and the famous Pyramids at Giza. An overnight train then takes you south to Aswan, gateway to Nubia and Africa beyond. Here you step aboard your cruise boat for the classic river journey to Luxor, stopping en route to explore the temples at Edfu and Kom Ombo.

Luxor & Cairo

Once in Luxor you'll visit the legendary Valley of the Kings and take a carriage ride to Karnak Temple. There's also time for you to take a short felucca ride on the Nile or to visit floodlit Luxor Temple. An overnight train returns you to Cairo for a final day's sightseeing, or last minute shopping in one of the myriad bazaars.

Nile Cruise

The waters of the Nile are plied by everything from small sail and rowing boats, to large luxury cruise boats. On this holiday you'll board an air-conditioned, modest yet comfortable riverboat, carrying up to 100 passengers. Your en suite cabin will be compact, usually with twin-beds and a window. Facilities on board will include a sun deck and plunge pool, as well as a restaurant and bar.
