Introduction to Egypt: A Journey Through Time

This 9-day vacation offers a deep dive into the ancient wonders of Egypt, combining visits to iconic landmarks in Cairo with a luxurious Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. It features deluxe accommodations and small-group tours, providing an excellent introduction to the Land of the Pharaohs.

Cairo: Gateway to Ancient Egypt

Your journey begins in Cairo, known as the “Mother of the World.” Here, you'll immerse yourself in Ancient Egyptian history with a full-day tour of the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. Begin at the Great Pyramid of Giza, built over 4,500 years ago and the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. Explore the nearby necropolis, where you’ll find the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the iconic Great Sphinx, a statue that continues to awe visitors despite its missing nose. Afterward, head to Tahrir Square to visit the Egyptian Museum, home to priceless artifacts, mummies, and treasures from Egypt’s fascinating past.

Luxor: The Heart of Ancient Egypt

Next, fly south to Luxor, the heart of Ancient Egypt. Begin your exploration with a visit to the magnificent Temple of Luxor, dedicated to the god Amun. From here, board your luxurious 5-star river vessel, the M/S Esplanade, which will serve as your home for the next few nights as you cruise down the Nile. In Luxor, you’ll also visit the colossal Temple of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings and Queens on the West Bank, where pharaohs like Tutankhamun were laid to rest in elaborate tombs. Don’t miss the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that have stood for over 3,000 years.

Edfu and Kom Ombo: Temples of Ancient Gods

As you continue your journey along the Nile, make stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo. The Temple of Horus in Edfu is considered the best-preserved temple in Egypt, and here you'll marvel at the intricate carvings and stunning architecture. In Kom Ombo, visit the dual Temple of Sobek, a unique structure dedicated to both the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus, showcasing the blend of Greco-Roman and ancient Egyptian influences.

Aswan: The Nile’s Gateway

Arrive in Aswan, where you’ll explore the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel that controls the Nile’s annual flooding and creates Lake Nasser, the world’s largest artificial reservoir. From here, head to the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings that make Aswan a beloved stop on the Nile.

Leisure Time in Cairo: Explore the City’s Hidden Gems

After disembarking from your Nile cruise, return to Cairo for a full day of leisure. Discover the vibrant and historic Old Cairo, home to the Coptic Museum, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the Cairo Citadel, with its stunning Mosque of Muhammad Ali. For a true taste of local life, explore the bustling Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest and most famous markets in the Middle East. Don’t forget to haggle for unique souvenirs and sample local cuisine in one of Cairo’s many celebrated restaurants.
