Inspirational vacation to Egypt

A wonderful way to discover Egypt at a gentler, more refined pace. Combine seeing the sites in Cairo with a ‘Death on the Nile’ luxury cruise sailing for 7 nights from Aswan to Luxor or vice-versa.
The Nile Ritz Carlton, situated in downtown Cairo, overlooks the Nile River. It’s a long-celebrated icon of luxury within the city and offers the ideal location for explorations of the bazaar district, the adjacent Egyptian Museum and to Tahrir Square. Head a little further out and tick the Pyramids of Giza and the famous Sphinx off your bucket list. Fly then to the Nile Valley and board the Oberoi Zahra Nile Cruiser which will allow you to leisurely discover 5000 years of Egyptian culture. Expect luxury cabins and suites, fine dining, a full-service spa, and sincere, courteous hospitality. When you dock, English-speaking Egyptologists will share their fascinating knowledge with you as you visit the Nile’s well-known monuments including the Valley of the Kings, Philae Temple, and the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu. There is the option to extend in Aswan after the cruise if you choose.
