The Journey Story

Start in Cairo with a relaxed arrival and private airport transfer, then explore the Giza Plateau, the Sphinx and the ancient burial grounds of Saqqara with your private Egyptologist. Continue to Aswan for a closer look at Philae Temple and the High Dam before boarding a deluxe Nile cruise. Sail north through the heart of ancient Egypt, with stops at Kom Ombo and Edfu before reaching Luxor. The journey ends among some of Egypt's greatest monuments, including the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Karnak Temple. An optional Abu Simbel visit can be added for travellers who want to go deeper into Egypt's ancient history. This is a private, well-paced introduction to Egypt designed for travellers who want the major highlights without the rush of a large group tour.
