Day 1: Adventure begins in Cairo
Welcome to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, where the ancient and modern worlds connect seamlessly. Cairo flights can arrive late, and the visa process can take some time. Therefore, we recommend flying into Cairo a day earlier and adding an extra night at your start hotel. There are some excellent sightseeing options available in Cairo if you wish to see more. Speak to your sales representative to book. Accommodation: Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel (or similar) Upgrade to a pyramid-view room today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 2: Visit the Egyptian Museum, National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and Cairo's lively bazaar
We begin with a welcome briefing with the tour leader (usually at 7am or 7.30am). Please have your breakfast beforehand and be sure to bring your insurance details as the tour leader needs to gather this information. Then, to set the scene for our adventures ahead, we visit the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, which contains relics dating back to 4,000 BCE, including the fantastic riches of Tutankhamun’s tomb. After, we visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and see the mummies of the pharaohs. Finally, we navigate the narrow alleys and streets that make up the Khan el-Khalili bazaar. In operation since the 14th century, it is still home to a wonderfully eclectic mix of traders and vendors, offering an intriguing insight into the ancient and modern sides of Cairo. Please note: After the Grand Egyptian Museum fully opens on 3 July, 2025, we go there instead of the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Accommodation: Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel (or similar) Upgrade to a pyramid-view room today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 3: Discover the Pyramids of Giza and Great Sphinx
Visit the Giza Plateau today, where the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus and the mysterious Great Sphinx stand as the greatest testament to the Ancient Egyptians. We wander the site, with a chance to grill our tour leader (an Egyptologist) on the incredible structures. Only the throng of sightseers milling around their huge foundations keep you in the 21st century. If you’d like to venture inside the belly of the pyramids, it is possible to pay for additional tickets locally. After, we drive to a viewpoint to see the grand monuments from another angle. The rest of the day if free to relax or sightsee. Accommodation: Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel (or similar) Upgrade to a pyramid-view room today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 4: Fly to Luxor; visit Karnak and Luxor temples. Board cruise boat; free afternoon to explore
We typically transfer to Cairo airport before sunrise for our flight to Luxor (flight times can vary but we need to be at the airport three hours before the flight so expect a wake up around 2am). A breakfast box is provided. On arrival, we visit Luxor Temple and the huge Karnak Temple complex on the east bank of the Nile. Built more than 1,500 years, Karnak is a mixture of pylons, courtyards, halls and sanctuaries. The Hypostyle Hall has 134 columns, some of which are more than 75ft (23m) high. We arrive at our cruise boat in time for lunch on board before free time in the afternoon to relax or explore Luxor. Accommodation: M/S Nile Style (or similar) Upgrade to an upper-deck cabin today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 5: Visit Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Colossi of Memnon; begin Nile cruise
Leave the boat very early (to ensure we are back for the commencement of the cruise) and take a 30 to 40-minute bus ride to the west bank of the Nile. Here, we visit the Valley of the Kings, which contains the once-hidden tombs of more than 60 pharaohs. A discreet entrance in the hillside takes us underground, a series of corridors and antechambers leading to burial chambers and sarcophagi. The walls are covered in brightly painted images and hieroglyphs – a map of the afterlife to ensure the king’s safe passage. One ticket allows us to see three tombs, usually into what are regarded as the most impressive tombs. However, if there is time, we recommend a visit to the tombs of Ramses VI and Tutankhamun – these require extra tickets, which can be bought locally. Visits to tombs are now strictly controlled to halt further deterioration of wall paintings – each tomb is periodically closed for several weeks. On crowded days, make sure to have a quick visit to each of the included tombs if you want to add extra tombs as your leader will give a fixed meeting time in order to return to the cruise boat before it sails. After, we visit the nearby Hatshepsut Temple, an architectural masterpiece of the ancient world. Built at the foot of sheer rock cliffs, it is a staggering sight, with a trio of terraces and neat arrangement of pillars. We then visit the Colossi of Memnon, two giant seated representations of the Pharaoh Amenhotep II. On return to our cruise boat, we begin our voyage along the Nile, travelling upstream and, hopefully, enjoying a sunset to remember. Accommodation: M/S Nile Style (or similar) Upgrade to an upper-deck cabin today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 6: Visit temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo; arrive in Aswan
We continue our exploration of the ancient world today, visiting the Temples of Edfu in the morning. Also on the west bank of the Nile, this grand Ptolemaic temple was dedicated to the falcon-headed god, Horus. In the late afternoon, we visit Kom Ombo temple, unusual in that it was dedicated to two deities: Sobek and Haroeris. Returning to the boat, we set sail for Aswan, where we stay overnight. Please note: Exact sailing and excursion times cannot be guaranteed for each individual trip. Accommodation: M/S Nile Style (or similar) Upgrade to an upper-deck cabin today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 7: Continue Nile cruise; optional visit to Abu Simbel
We wake in Aswan today, a laid-back town that reflects the character of its largely Nubian inhabitants, known for being friendly and hospitable. By virtue of its position on the old caravan route, it has always been a trading centre and we thoroughly recommend visiting the packed bazaar today, where merchants display spices, carpets, leather goods and countless other wares. Today there’s the option of flying to the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel, 186mi (300km) to the south through the Nubian Desert. Built by Ramses II, the two temples are certainly some of the most spectacular in Egypt. Originally on the banks of the Nile, the temples were raised to a new site above the lake in the late 1960s, as the waters from the new Lake Nasser rose behind the Aswan High Dam. The four great seated statues of Ramses II stare east towards the rising sun. We arrive back in Aswan around 1.30pm, before lunch. There is also the option to visit the Nubian Museum, situated opposite our usual hotel in Aswan (please ask your tour leader if you are interested and when it can be arranged). Opened in April 1998, the museum chronologically charts the history and culture of the Nubian people. Accommodation: M/S Nile Style (or similar) Upgrade to an upper-deck cabin today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 8: Disembark cruise; tour Philae Temple and Aswan High Dam; felucca down the Nile
After breakfast on board, we disembark and have a full day in Aswan. Our first stop is Philae Temple, which was was relocated to Aglika Island in the 1970s after it became evident the original site (on Philae Island) would submerge on completion of the Aswan High Dam, which we also visit on this excursion. It represents a magnificent and enduring testament to both ancient and modern engineering. In the afternoon, we explore the Nile by felucca, the traditional Egyptian sailing boat. Using the felucca, we can truly savour the tranquillity of the Nile and the beauty of the surrounding landscape, where the vast desert almost reaches the water’s edge. Please note: The timings of the felucca sailing might be changed according to weather conditions Accommodation: Basma Hotel (or similar) Upgrade to a Nile-view room today – speak to your sales representative for more details
Day 9: Adventure ends in Aswan
You’ve seen the Great Pyramids, gazed at King Tut’s treasures and journeyed down the Nile. Now, however, it’s time to start your return journey home. Of course, if you’re not quite ready for the adventure to end, talk to your sales representative about extending your stay – Egypt has a lifetime of wonders to discover.

Viktig Informasjon

The trip destination

7 Superior nights (4 Nile cruise boat, 3 hotel), 1 Classic night (hotel)
Travel by minibus, cruise boat and one internal flight
Group normally 4 to 16, plus leader. Minimum age: 16

Food

All breakfasts, four lunches and four dinners included. In the itinerary, we state which meals are included on which day. For meals not included, we suggest you allow approximately US$15 for lunch and US$20 for dinner (this differs according to the type of restaurant you are looking for). Food in Egypt involves kebabs, chicken, stews, pita bread, falafel, beans, vegetables, pickles and salads. Dishes tend to be simple and wholesome, and vegetarians can be catered for, though the options may be somewhat limited.

Weather

Rain is very rare in all parts of Egypt and most days are sunny and clear. Summer temperatures can exceed 40C (104F) but this is particularly true for the period between June and September. The winter months can be surprisingly cold, especially on the Nile or at night. The average daytime maximum in Cairo in January is 20C (68F), night time minimum is 8C (46F). In the summer, these temperatures are 35C (95F) and 22C (72F) respectively. Daytime temperatures are slightly higher on average in Aswan.

Is this trip for you?

This trip is graded Activity Level 2 (Easy & Moderate). For more information on our trip gradings, visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip, please contact us.

Suitability: It is suitable for everyone with average health and fitness. No experience of any activity involved is necessary. Most days involve early starts (especially Day 3 when we catch an early flight to Luxor) but this allows us to get the most from our time in Egypt and avoid the worst of the heat. Egypt can get hot, which can cause discomfort while travelling.

Summer departures: The hottest months are June to September when temperatures can hit over 40C (104F). On departures during these months, we amend the itinerary to avoid the hottest parts of the day, but the inclusions remain the same. Care should be taken to keep hydrated.

Ramadan is expected to run from approximately 28 February-29 March 2025 and 17 February-19 March 2026. One of the most important periods in the Islamic calendar, it is a special time to visit a Muslim country. Each evening, the streets empty as people head home to break the fast, followed by an air of festivity upon their return. Our leaders and drivers choose to work at this time so we continue to run trips; however, their energy levels may be slightly lower than normal. Many tourist sites, restaurants and shops will have an amended schedule, but your tour leader will know how to adapt the itinerary to still experience all the inclusions on this trip and maximise your experience during this special time.
