About this tour
This 8-Day Cairo and Nile Cruise Tour blends the treasures of Egypt’s capital with the magic of the Nile. In Cairo, you’ll stand before the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, walk through Memphis and Sakkara where pyramid-building began, and wander the colorful alleys of Khan El Khalili.
Flying south to Luxor, you’ll step into the “world’s greatest open-air museum.” On the East Bank, the temples of Karnak and Luxor rise as monuments to devotion and kingship. On the West Bank, the Valley of the Kings whispers the secrets of pharaohs, and Hatshepsut’s temple tells the story of Egypt’s most remarkable queen.
The heart of the journey is a luxury Nile cruise, where the river itself becomes part of the story. From the perfectly preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu to the dual sanctuaries of Kom Ombo and the romantic island of Philae in Aswan, each stop reveals another chapter in Egypt’s timeless history. Between excursions, you’ll relax on deck, watching the river flow past palm groves, villages, and golden sunsets.
This tour is the perfect introduction to Egypt: pyramids, temples, tombs, markets, and the magic of the Nile, all brought together in just over a week.
