A Complete Luxury Journey Through Egypt
Egypt offers an extraordinary combination of ancient history, vibrant culture, spectacular landscapes and world-class tourism experiences.
The journey begins in Cairo, where you will discover the famous Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx before exploring the ancient pyramid fields of Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur.
You will then travel south to Luxor, the heart of ancient Thebes and one of the world’s greatest archaeological destinations.
From Luxor, the journey continues aboard a luxury Nile Cruise, allowing you to travel between historic destinations while enjoying comfortable accommodation, onboard dining and beautiful views of the Nile.
The cruise takes you toward Aswan, with unforgettable stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo. After discovering Aswan and Abu Simbel, you return to Cairo for additional leisure and cultural experiences.

Arrival in Cairo
Your Egyptian adventure begins at Cairo International Airport.
Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by your private representative and transferred to your selected luxury hotel in Cairo or Giza in a modern, air-conditioned private vehicle.
Your representative will assist you with the arrival process and make sure you are comfortable at the beginning of your trip.
After check-in, you can relax at the hotel and recover from your international journey.
Depending on your arrival time, an optional evening experience can be arranged.
Discover the Pyramids of Giza
One of the first major highlights is the Giza Plateau.
Here you will encounter the three legendary pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest and most famous of the three. Standing before this enormous monument provides a remarkable connection with one of humanity’s oldest civilizations.
Your private Egyptologist will explain how the pyramids were constructed, why they were built and how they were connected with ancient Egyptian beliefs about kingship and the afterlife.
The tour continues to the Great Sphinx, a monumental figure combining the body of a lion with the head of a king.
You will also visit the Valley Temple associated with the Pyramid of Khafre.
Because this is a private experience, there is time for photography and questions without the pressure of a large group.
Optional activities such as a camel ride or entrance inside the Great Pyramid can be added.
Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur
Egypt’s pyramid story continues at Saqqara.
The Step Pyramid of Djoser is one of the most important monuments in the history of ancient architecture. It represents a major stage in the development of pyramid construction.
Your Egyptologist will explain the transition from earlier burial structures to monumental stone pyramids.
Continue to Memphis, one of ancient Egypt’s most important capitals.
The surviving monuments, statues and archaeological remains provide a glimpse into the importance of the city.
The final stop is Dahshur, where you can see the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid.
These monuments provide valuable insight into the architectural experimentation that eventually led to the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum provides another perspective on ancient Egyptian civilization.
After seeing monuments in their original locations, the museum allows you to explore artifacts and collections associated with thousands of years of Egyptian history.
Access to specific galleries and exhibitions depends on the arrangements available for your travel date.
Your private guide can help put the objects and monuments into historical context, making the museum experience more meaningful.
Historic Cairo
Cairo is much more than the Pyramids.
The city has developed over thousands of years and contains remarkable examples of Islamic, Christian and traditional Egyptian architecture.
A private visit to Historic Cairo and Khan El Khalili allows you to experience another side of the capital.
Khan El Khalili is famous for its traditional shops, cafés and narrow streets.
Shopping is optional, and the tour does not require forced shopping stops.
Journey to Luxor
After your Cairo sightseeing program, travel south to Luxor according to your confirmed transportation arrangements.
Luxor was ancient Thebes and became one of the most important centers of Egyptian power and religion.
Today, the city is famous for its extraordinary concentration of temples, tombs and monuments.
The Nile divides Luxor into two historically important areas: the East Bank and West Bank.
Explore the Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is one of the most famous archaeological sites in Egypt.
Hidden among the desert mountains, the valley contains numerous royal tombs created primarily during the New Kingdom period.
Inside the tombs, colorful paintings and hieroglyphic inscriptions describe the journey of the deceased into the afterlife.
Your private Egyptologist will explain the symbolism and history behind the tombs you visit.
Standard entrance tickets provide access to selected tombs, while certain famous tombs require separate tickets.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Continue to the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut.
Built against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, the temple is associated with one of ancient Egypt’s most powerful female rulers.
Its terraces, columns and monumental architecture create one of Luxor’s most spectacular archaeological settings.
You will also visit the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues that once stood in front of a major temple complex.
Karnak and Luxor Temples
On the East Bank, explore Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious complexes ever built.
The complex contains monumental gateways, courtyards, obelisks, statues and the famous Great Hypostyle Hall.
Your Egyptologist will explain how different pharaohs expanded Karnak over many centuries.
Continue to Luxor Temple, another magnificent monument of ancient Thebes.
Its monumental entrance and beautifully preserved architectural details provide an excellent introduction to the religious traditions of ancient Egypt.
The Luxury Nile Cruise Experience
After exploring Luxor, board your selected luxury Nile Cruise.
The cruise is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience Upper Egypt.
Instead of spending every day traveling by road, you can relax aboard the ship while moving between historic destinations.
Enjoy comfortable accommodation, onboard meals, Nile views and leisure facilities according to your selected cruise.
During sailing, you can watch rural villages, palm trees, agricultural fields and desert landscapes pass along the river.
The contrast between the green Nile Valley and the surrounding desert is one of the most beautiful features of the journey.
Edfu Temple
One of the cruise’s major sightseeing stops is Edfu Temple.
Dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus, Edfu is one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt.
The massive entrance, courtyards, columns and reliefs provide an excellent example of traditional Egyptian temple architecture.
Your guide will explain the mythology surrounding Horus and the significance of the temple.
After the visit, return to your luxury cruise and continue toward Aswan.
Kom Ombo Temple
The next major archaeological stop is Kom Ombo Temple.
The temple is unique because of its double design and its connection with two different deities, including Sobek and Horus.
Located beside the Nile, the temple offers beautiful views and excellent photographic opportunities.
After exploring Kom Ombo, return to the cruise and continue toward Aswan.
Discover Aswan
Aswan offers a more relaxed atmosphere than Cairo and Luxor.
The city is surrounded by Nile islands, granite formations and beautiful river scenery.
Visit Philae Temple, an impressive temple complex dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis.
The temple was relocated to its present island location as part of an international preservation project.
Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, where you can see evidence of ancient stone-working techniques.
For travelers looking for an authentic Nile experience, a private felucca sailing trip can be added.
Abu Simbel
No luxury Upper Egypt journey is complete without visiting Abu Simbel.
The Great Temple of Ramesses II is one of Egypt’s most spectacular monuments, famous for its four enormous statues at the entrance.
Nearby is the Temple of Queen Nefertari, dedicated to the goddess Hathor.
The temples also have an extraordinary modern history. They were relocated during an international engineering campaign to protect them from the rising waters created by the Aswan High Dam.
A private excursion to Abu Simbel provides plenty of time to appreciate these extraordinary monuments.
Time to Relax
One of the major advantages of a 20-day itinerary is that you do not have to spend every day sightseeing.
After several days of exploring ancient monuments, the itinerary allows opportunities to relax at your luxury hotel or enjoy the facilities aboard your cruise.
Additional leisure time can also be requested when customizing the itinerary.

Your driver will coordinate the transfers between airports, hotels, cruise docks and archaeological sites according to your itinerary.
Private Egyptologist
Your sightseeing is accompanied by a licensed Egyptologist, subject to availability in your requested language.
The guide does more than simply identify monuments.
