Nile & Red Sea: 11-day private tour with Nile cruise & Red Sea beach

Met inside the terminal before passport control, helped through the visa and immigration, then a private transfer to your hotel. Evening at leisure.

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.

Visit Karnak and Luxor Temples before boarding your Nile cruise ship for four nights.

The West Bank's Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut, then sailing south.

The Temple of Horus at Edfu, then the twin temple of Kom Ombo, reaching Aswan by evening.

The High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and a felucca sail at sunset. Last night aboard your cruise.

Disembark after breakfast, then a short domestic flight to the Red Sea coast. Transfer to your beach resort, rest of the day at leisure.

A boat trip out to the coral reefs — calm, clear water and an easy introduction to the Red Sea's marine life.

Unscheduled — the beach, the resort, or an optional second excursion if you'd like one.

Private transfer to the airport for your onward or international flight.
