OVERVIEW
The Journey at a Glance
From the Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Luxor, this journey traces five thousand years of history with an Egyptologist by your side. Highlights include the new Grand Egyptian Museum, a sunrise visit to Abu Simbel and three nights cruising the Nile.
Days start early to avoid the heat and crowds, leaving afternoons for rest, a felucca sail or time by the pool. It works beautifully for families with older children and anyone fascinated by ancient worlds.
