Your journey begins with a visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, followed by the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, home to King Tutankhamun’s treasures. The day concludes with a visit to the Saladin Citadel and the Alabaster Mosque, ending with a walk through the historic maze of the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar.

Travel to Alexandria to explore the Roman Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and the red granite Pompey’s Pillar. After lunch, you will visit the 15th-century Qaitbay Citadel, built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse, and the modern Library of Alexandria before enjoying the gardens of Al Montazah Palace.

Depart for the mystical Siwa Oasis, a secluded paradise in the Western Desert. Your first experience in this unique destination includes watching a spectacular sunset over Fatnas Lake, surrounded by palm groves and the tranquil waters of Birket Siwa, followed by a traditional dinner and an overnight stay in an ecolodge.

Discover the Temple of the Oracle, where Alexander the Great sought confirmation of his divine lineage, and float in the buoyant crystal-clear Salt Lakes. The afternoon features a 4x4 Jeep adventure into the Great Sand Sea for sandboarding and a visit to the hot and cold springs of Bir Waheed before a desert camp BBQ dinner.

Explore the 13th-century Shali Fortress and the Mountain of the Dead, which houses beautifully painted tombs from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Your route back to Cairo takes you through Marsa Matrouh for a Mediterranean seafood lunch before arriving in the capital for the evening.

Drive to Bahariya Oasis to begin a desert safari. You will visit the volcanic Black Desert and the hot springs of El Haize before exploring the Valley of Agabat. The day ends in the stunning White Desert National Park, where you will admire unique limestone formations and enjoy dinner under the stars at a Bedouin camp.

After watching the sunrise, you will visit Crystal Mountain, a hill formed of quartzite crystals, and the rejuvenating hot springs of Bir Sigam. You will then return to Cairo to catch a domestic flight to Aswan, where you will spend the night preparing for your Nile cruise.

Transfer to your 5-star Nile cruise for embarkation. Your guided tour of Aswan includes the island-bound Philae Temple, the High Dam, and the Unfinished Obelisk in the ancient granite quarries. In the afternoon, enjoy a peaceful Felucca sailing trip around Elephantine Island and the Botanical Gardens.

Take an early morning trip to the colossal Abu Simbel Temples, a masterpiece of ancient engineering dedicated to Ramses II. Later, the ship sails to Kom Ombo to visit the unique double temple dedicated to Sobek and Horus, before continuing the journey upriver toward Edfu.

Visit the exceptionally preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu by horse carriage, learning about the ancient myths depicted on its walls. Relax on the sundeck as the cruise sails through the Esna Lock to Luxor, where you will visit the beautifully illuminated Luxor Temple in the evening.

Explore the West Bank’s treasures, including the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon. After a tour of the massive Karnak Temple complex on the East Bank, you will be transferred to your resort in Hurghada on the Red Sea.
