For travelers who want Egypt's essentials — Cairo, Giza, Aswan, and a Nile cruise to Luxor — on one set departure, fully arranged, without piecing it together themselves.
One Set Departure. Every Detail Already Arranged.
An 8-day group departure from 22–30 November 2026, covering Cairo, Giza, Aswan, and a Nile cruise to Luxor, with a private certified Egyptologist guide throughout. Choose a 3★ or 5★ hotel — both pair with a 5★ Nile Cruise — with rates starting from $1,500 per person.
Who This Is For
This is for travelers who want Egypt's core route — the Pyramids, Old Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and a Nile cruise into Luxor — without spending weeks arranging hotels, internal flights, a cruise, and a guide themselves. It's a set departure: everyone travels the same dates, 22–30 November 2026, with a private certified Egyptologist guide throughout and every transfer, entrance fee, and cruise night already arranged.
Why We Created This
Building a first Egypt trip from scratch means coordinating a Cairo hotel, a domestic flight to Aswan, a multi-night Nile cruise, a Luxor departure, and a guide who can actually explain what you're looking at — usually across several separate bookings. This trip bundles all of it into one itinerary, one guide, and one price, with two hotel/cruise tiers depending on what you'd like your trip to feel like.
The Experience
What a Day Actually Feels Like
Eight days moving from Cairo's icons to a Nile cruise through Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor — here's a glimpse of the route.
Giza, with a professional photoshoot
The Pyramids of Giza, a camel or horse ride, the Grand Sphinx, and a professional photoshoot at the Pyramids, followed by a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Old Cairo in a day
Coptic Cairo's churches, the National Civilizations Museum, and Khan el-Khalili's old market — Cairo's historic and Islamic quarters, covered together.
A Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor
Philae Temple, the Nubian Village, Kom Ombo, and Edfu's Horus Temple, sailing between them aboard your Nile cruise ship, with dinner and overnight stays on board.
A full day at Abu Simbel
An early departure from the cruise for Abu Simbel's colossal temples, before returning to the ship — one of the trip's dedicated full days.
