Itinerary
Arrive at Cairo International Airport, where your representative assists with arrival formalities and transfers you privately to your hotel. When the confirmed arrival time allows comfortable participation, the evening includes a welcome dinner cruise on the Nile. Late arrivals proceed directly to the hotel for rest.
Meals Included
Explore the Giza Plateau with your private Egyptologist, including the Great Pyramid area, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. After lunch at a local restaurant, continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum for a focused introduction to ancient Egypt's royal collections.
Meals Included
Fly from Cairo to Luxor and meet your local guide. Board the Nile cruise before lunch, then visit Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. Return to the ship for dinner as the four-night full-board cruise begins.
Meals Included
Visit the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon on Luxor's West Bank. Return to the cruise and sail south according to the ship's navigation schedule.
Meals Included
Visit Edfu Temple, one of Egypt's best-preserved ancient temples. Continue sailing and visit the riverside Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to Sobek and Haroeris, before the cruise proceeds toward Aswan.
Meals Included
Enjoy a slower final full-board day aboard the Nile cruise in Aswan, with time to rest and use the ship's facilities. Guests who wish to visit Abu Simbel may reserve a separately priced early-morning road excursion, with approximately three to four hours of travel each way and a return to Aswan for the final cruise night. Guests who do not book the add-on keep the day unhurried aboard the ship.
