Tour Itinerary

Welcome to the land of the Pharaohs! At Cairo airport, your tour leader will meet and assist you and transfer you to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to relax.


Overnight: in Cairo.

Today, we will visit the pyramids and Sphinx at Giza Plateau. Sole survivors from the ancient Greek-listed Seven Wonders of the World. The largest of the three great Giza Pyramids – Cheops, constructed from over 2.5 million limestone blocks- took over 20 years to construct. Afterward, we enjoy a camel ride across the desert sands.


Overnight: in Cairo | Meals: Breakfast.

Cairo – Aswan. Today, we venture in search of the treasures of King Tutankhamun, mummies, and more at the Citadel of Saladin with views looking down over the old city, watching people go about their daily life. We conclude the day with a market walk through the bustling Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. Time to freshen up; this evening, we take the comfortable overnight sleeper train to Aswan.


Overnight: Sleeper Cabin Train | Meals: Breakfast and Dinner.

We arrive in Aswan this morning and explore the Nubian city on a guided walk of the local market and souq. Scenically located on the Nile, a walk along the riverfront corniche to view the many boats is a real treat, as is Aswan bazaar. Free afternoon.


Overnight: Aswan | Meals: Breakfast.

Free morning or opt for the morning excursion to Abu Simbel Temple (optional). The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure; maybe relax by the pool, stroll along the Nile corniche, or explore the lively marketplace.


Overnight: Aswan | Meals: Breakfast.

Aswan – Luxor. This morning we board a motorboat and cruise along the River Nile, passing some of the small islands en route to Sheil Island, where we disembark and visit a local village and school before enjoying lunch at the home of an Egyptian family.

The motorboats of Aswan are proudly owned and crewed by friendly local sailors. They have been adapted from the Felucca vessel style to comfortably carry travelers. Lunch will be served in the home of an Egyptian family.

After lunch, we cruise back to Aswan for our afternoon/evening train journey to Luxor, one of the world’s greatest open-air museums. The 4000-year-old site of ancient Thebes, known today as Luxor, is our base for the next three days.


Overnight: Luxor | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch.


Today we will visit Karnak Temple, more than a temple. Karnak is a spectacular complex of sanctuaries, pylons, statuettes, and obelisks. Karnak is probably Egypt’s finest ancient temple, built on a grand scale.

Free afternoon or wander along Luxor’s historic waterfront. This evening, we travel in horse-drawn carriages to the illuminated Temple of Luxor, where you enjoy a tour in the cool evening air. The rest of the evening is free.


Overnight: Luxor | Meals: Breakfast.

Early this morning, we head to the West Bank of the Nile for a guided tour of the legendary Valleys of the Kings. The cliffs, bereft of vegetation, are home to a vast necropolis of tombs, some of which you can enter. Some of the tombs are so well preserved that the colors of the incredible pharaonic friezes are still as vibrant as when they were first painted.

After leaving the Valley of the Kings and saying goodbye to our tour guide, we returned to our hotel, where there would be a little time to freshen up before hotel check-out and onward departure transfer to Luxor International Airport.

Our tour concludes at this point with fond memories of a magical family holiday to Egypt!

Note: Flights departing Luxor can be reserved anytime after 1.30 pm today. Breakfast.

What They Say about Us

Our Happy Customers

Travel has helped us to understand the meaning of life and it has helped us become better people. Each time we travel, we see the world with new eyes.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
