Classic Egypt: 8-day private tour with Nile cruise

Met inside the terminal before passport control, helped through the visa and immigration, then a private transfer to your hotel. Evening at leisure; we can book a welcome dinner at extra cost.

Morning on the Giza plateau — the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx — timed to avoid the midday crowds. In the afternoon, the Grand Egyptian Museum next door: the complete Tutankhamun collection, shown together for the first time, the Grand Staircase, and King Khufu’s 4,600-year-old Solar Boat.

Morning at Saqqara, home of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, and the ancient capital of Memphis. Afternoon walking through Islamic Cairo’s mosques and markets, ending in the Khan el-Khalili bazaar.

Morning flight to Luxor. Visit Karnak and Luxor Temples before boarding your Nile cruise ship, where you'll stay for the next four nights.

Cross to the West Bank for the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut, then sail south toward Edfu as the ship makes its way up the Nile.

Visit the well-preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu, then continue sailing to the twin temple of Kom Ombo, reaching Aswan by evening.

See the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and take a felucca sail around Elephantine Island at sunset. Last night aboard your cruise.

Disembark after breakfast and fly from Aswan to Cairo, where we transfer you to your international flight.
