7-Day Cairo & Nile Cruise Adventure

▸ Egyptian Museum of Antiquities: Home to over 250,000 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization — including the breathtaking Tutankhamun treasure room, royal mummies, and priceless golden jewelry.

▸ Great Pyramids of Giza: The last remaining wonder of the ancient world — three iconic royal tombs rising from the Giza Plateau, built over 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is the tallest and most colossal structure ever built by human hands.

▸ The Great Sphinx: A colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of Pharaoh Chephren. Standing guard over the Giza Plateau for millennia, the Great Sphinx is one of the most recognizable monuments on Earth.

✦ Optional: Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids.

▸ Aswan High Dam: A modern engineering masterpiece completed in 1970, the Aswan High Dam controls the Nile's floods and generates much of Egypt's electricity. The views of Lake Nasser from the dam are spectacular.
 

▸ Temple of Philae: A beautifully restored temple complex on an island in the Nile, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temples were painstakingly relocated stone-by-stone to save them from rising Nile waters. Board your Nile cruise. Sail to Kom Ombo.
 

▸ Twin Temple of Kom Ombo: A unique double temple perched dramatically above the Nile, equally dedicated to two gods: Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). An on-site museum displays ancient mummified crocodiles.

Sail to Edfu. Dinner on board with a lively Galabya party.

▸ Temple of Horus at Edfu: Egypt's best-preserved ancient temple, dedicated to Horus the falcon god. Its towering entrance pylon and detailed reliefs make it one of the most impressive examples of Ptolemaic Egyptian architecture. Cross the Esna lock and sail to Luxor. Afternoon tea and Galabya party dinner on board.

▸ Valley of the Kings: The royal burial ground of Egypt's most powerful New Kingdom pharaohs, where over 60 decorated tombs have been discovered, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramesses VI, and Thutmosis III.

▸ Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: The dramatic mortuary temple of ancient Egypt's greatest female ruler, cut into the Theban cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for 20 years and is celebrated as one of its most successful pharaohs.

▸ Colossi of Memnon: Two towering 18-metre statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood watch over the Theban necropolis for over 3,400 years, now one of Luxor's most photographed landmarks.

Disembark your cruise in Luxor.

✦ Optional: Hot Air Balloon Ride over the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens — one of the world's most spectacular experiences, drifting silently over 3,000 years of history at sunrise. (Approx. 30–45 mins depending on weather.)

✦ Optional: Luxor East Bank Tour — Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple with your private Egyptologist guide.

▸ Karnak Temple Complex: The world's largest ancient religious complex, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Its Great Hypostyle Hall — filled with 134 massive columns — is an architectural wonder still awe-inspiring today.

▸ Luxor Temple: Built by Amenhotep III and completed by Ramesses II, this elegant riverside temple was dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. Its towering pylons and soaring columns glow magnificently at night.
