Day 1: Start Cairo
This premium adventure begins in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, where the modern world meets the old. There’s plenty packed into this holiday, but today is all about settling in. We’ll gather at the hotel for our welcome briefing, where we get to know each other a little better and meet our tour leader. Premium accommodation: Cairo Marriott Zamalek (five-star)
Day 2: The Egyptian Museum, El Azhar Mosque and Cairo's lively bazaar
Today, on our second day in Cairo, we pay a visit to the incredible Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, which contains relics dating to 4000 BCE, including the fantastic riches of Tutankhamun's tomb. Here is a unique opportunity to survey the many fabulous treasures of Egypt in one place and to set the scene for the rest of the tour. For the remainder of the day, we experience modern Cairo with visits to Al Azhar Mosque (the oldest mosque and university in Cairo but still very much in use) and the small alleyways and streets that make up Cairo bazaar. Please note, we will need to cover up at the mosque (long sleeves and trousers) and women will also need to cover their hair with a scarf. Premium accommodation: Cairo Marriott Zamalek (five-star)
Day 3: Visit the Pyramids at Giza
After breakfast, we depart our hotel for a half-day tour of the Pyramids at Giza. Home to the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus and the timeless and enigmatic Sphinx; these great monuments to the afterlife defy the imagination. Only the throng of sightseers, Egyptian and foreign, milling around their huge foundations, keep the viewer in the 21st century. In the afternoon, there will be free time if you wish to relax by the hotel pool or take an optional excursion to Sakkara. Premium accommodation: Cairo Marriott Zamalek (five-star)
Day 4: Fly to Luxor; visit Karnak and Luxor temples. Board our premium cruise vessel, the Movenpick Royal Lily or Royal Lotus; free afternoon
We typically transfer to Cairo airport before sunrise for our flight to Luxor (flight times can vary). On arrival in Luxor, we visit Luxor Temple and the huge Karnak Temple complex on the east bank of the Nile. Built over 1,500 years, Karnak is a confusion of pylons, courtyards, halls and sanctuaries. The Hypostyle Hall here has 134 columns, some of which are more than 75ft (23m) high. Both temples are incredibly impressive. We arrive at our cruise boat in time for lunch on board before having free time in the afternoon to relax or explore Luxor. Premium accommodation: MS Movenpick Royal Lily or Royal Lotus (five-star)
Day 5 - 6: Valley of the Kings; two days on the Nile with visits to Edfu and Kom Ombo en route
We begin Day 5 with a visit to the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile, which contains the once-hidden tombs of more than 60 pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, Seti I, Ramses III and IV. A discreet hillside entrance takes us underground; a series of corridors and ante-chambers leading to the burial chamber and sarcophagus. The walls are covered in brightly painted images and hieroglyphs – a map of the afterlife to ensure the king’s safe passage. One ticket allows us to see three tombs. The ticket usually allows entry into what are regarded as the most impressive tombs, but if you have time, a visit to the tomb of Ramses VI is also highly recommended. Visits to tombs are now strictly controlled to halt further deterioration of wall paintings – each tomb is periodically closed for several weeks. Entry to Tutankhamun's tomb costs approximately US$12, payable locally. In terms of size and decoration, it is not as impressive as many of the other tombs, but is of course historically very interesting. On return to our cruise boat, we begin our voyage along the Nile, travelling upstream from Luxor to Aswan. Exact sailing and excursion times cannot be guaranteed for each trip, but we will visit the temples of Edfu, famous for its roofed inner temples and huge Pylon, and Kom Ombo. The cruise boat has good facilities: a sundeck with sun loungers, bar and small pool, restaurant, gift shop and library – these can all be enjoyed when the cruise boat is docked or sailing. The sunsets over the Nile are stunning and travelling from Luxor to Aswan, enjoying the beauty of the verdant landscape, make this journey special. Premium accommodation: MS Movenpick Royal Lily or Royal Lotus (five-star)
Day 7: Continue Nile cruise; optional visit to High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk and Philae Temple; sunset felucca sailing
Today there is the possibility for an optional visit to Philae Temple. In the 1970s, it was relocated by Unesco to Aglika Island after it became evident the original Philae site would submerge on completion of the Aswan High Dam. It represents a magnificent and enduring testament to both ancient and modern engineering. During this excursion, we will also visit Aswan High Dam and Cleopatra's Unfinished Obelisk. Later in the day, we enjoy a sunset sail on a felucca, a traditional wooden sailing boat. Feluccas have been a fixture on the Nile for centuries and are used in the protected waters of the Red Sea and eastern Mediterranean. The deck is strewn with soft colourful cushions and rugs and equipped with a canopy offering shade. We spend our last evening on board the MS Movenpick Royal Lily or Royal Lotus. Premium accommodation: MS Movenpick Royal Lily or Royal Lotus (five-star)
Day 8: Disembark cruise; full day in Aswan or optional visit to Abu Simbel
After breakfast on board, we disembark our boat and there is the choice to have a full day in Aswan or an optional visit to Abu Simbel. Aswan is a laid-back town that reflects the character of its largely Nubian inhabitants, known for being friendly and hospitable. By virtue of its position on the old caravan route, it has always been a trading centre and we thoroughly recommend a visit to the packed bazaar today where merchants display a wealth of exotic spices, carpets, leather goods and countless other wares. Today there is also the option (for those who are interested) to visit Abu Simbel, 185mi (300km) to the south through the Nubian Desert. The optional bus tour starts at 3.30am/4am when we get picked up from the boat. A breakfast box is provided. Around 8am, we arrive at the destination, where we have around three hours to visit the temples. Built by Ramses II, the two temples are among the most spectacular in Egypt. Originally on the banks of the Nile, the temples were raised to a new site above the lake in the late 1960s, as the waters from the new Lake Nasser rose behind the Aswan High Dam. The four great seated statues of Ramses II stare east towards the rising sun. For those who do take the optional excursion to Abu Simbel, you will arrive at the hotel in Aswan around 3pm. The Aswan hotel has a perfect location. Enjoy views of the Nile from your room or head to the Panorama Restaurant & Bar, the highest point in Aswan, for 360-degree views of the river. For lunch or dinner, there’s a great choice of bars and restaurants if you don’t want to venture into the town. Otherwise, the historical town is a short walk away Premium accommodation: Movenpick Resort, Aswan (five-star)
Day 9: End Aswan
This unforgettable trip through Egypt ends after breakfast. Either make your way home or, if you’d like a post-adventure relax, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay at the marvellous Movenpick Resort.

Viktig Informasjon

The trip destination

Premium accommodation throughout: Four nights five-star Nile cruise boat and four nights in five-star hotels
Travel by minibus, premium cruise boat and one internal flight
Group normally 4 to 16, plus local leader. Minimum age: 16

Food

All breakfasts, four lunches and four dinners included. In the itinerary, we state which meals are included on which day. We suggest you allow 2,460-3,445 Egyptian dollars (approximately US$100-US$140) for meals not included. Food in Egypt involves such things as kebabs, chicken, stews, pitta bread, falafel, beans, aubergine (eggplant) and other vegetables, pickles and salads. Dishes tend to be simple and wholesome and vegetarians can be catered for if they accept the options may be somewhat limited.

Weather

Rain is very rare in all parts of Egypt and most days are sunny and clear. Summer temperatures often reach the upper 30s (around 100F) but this is particularly true for the period between June and September. Winter can be surprisingly cold, especially on the Nile or at night. The average daytime maximum in Cairo in January is 20C (68F), nights are minimum 8C (46F). In summer, these temperatures are 35C (95F) and 22C (72F) respectively. Daytime temperatures are a little higher on average in Aswan.

Is this trip for you?

This trip has been graded Activity Level 1 (leisurely).

Leisurely grade trips are suitable for all clients with average health and fitness. No experience of any activity involved is necessary.

Most days involve early starts (especially Day 4 when we catch an early flight to Luxor) but this allows us to get the most from our time in Egypt and avoid the worst of the heat.

Egypt can get hot, especially from June to September when temperatures can reach as high as 38C-40C (100F-104F) in the south of the country.

The hotels and cruise boat we use on this trip are of a high standard, providing excellent levels of comfort.

Ramadan is expected to run from approximately 10 March-10 April 2024 and 28 February-29 March 2025. One of the most important periods in the Islamic calendar, it is a special time to visit a Muslim country. Each evening, the streets empty as people head home to break the fast, followed by an air of festivity upon their return. Our leaders and drivers choose to work at this time so we continue to run trips; however, their energy levels may be slightly lower than normal. Many tourist sites, restaurants and shops will have an amended schedule, but your tour leader will know how to adapt the itinerary to still experience all the inclusions on this trip and maximise your experience during this special time.
