    The Experience

    This 8-day Egypt tour follows the Nile from Aswan to Luxor and ends in the Christian heart of Cairo. Two nights in Cairo cover the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum. You then fly to Aswan for four nights on a deluxe Nile cruise, with Philae, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings.

    The last day is spent in Coptic Cairo, at the Hanging Church, the Church of St George, the Abu Serga church linked to the Holy Family and the Ben Ezra Synagogue. Our guide to Coptic Cairo explains how to read each site, and what to see in Luxor helps you plan the river days. Compare the nine-day Mount Sinai tour, or browse all luxury Egypt tour packages.

    What Our Guests Say

    Voices From the Journey

    Real stories from travelers who trusted us with their journey through Egypt.

    "I'll be honest I almost canceled this trip after reading so many conflicting opinions online. From my very first email, Hamdy patiently answered every question without ever making me feel pressured to book. When we landed in Cairo, Magdy was already waiting outside arrivals, and within an hour I realized I'd spent weeks worrying for nothing. Looking back, what I'll remember most isn't just the pyramids, but how easy the entire journey felt."
